Austenitic and austenitic-ferritic CrMnNi-stainless steels are suitable materials in the transport and automotive industry due to their high corrosion resistance and high strength that allows weight and cost savings. This study focuses on the laser weldability of a commercial lean duplex and an austenitic high manganese stainless steel. The impact of different laser sources, i.e. a 5 kW CO2- and a 4 kW Nd:YAG-laser, and of the main process parameters on the resulting weld quality will be investigated. One important aspect will concern the appearance of weld defects such as pores and hot cracks. The factors causing such internal imperfections will be analysed in order to find effective methods for preventing them. Weld microstructure and the associated corrosion and mechanical properties will be assessed with different techniques and adequate process parameters for high quality welds will be determined. The advantages and limitations of the applied welding processes will be evaluated for future applications.
Potential for repair welding technology based on laser metal deposition for chemical industry
(2012)
In a repair process chain, damaged areas or cracks can be removed by milling and subsequently be reconditioned with new material deposition. The use of laser metal deposition has been investigated for this purpose. The material has been deposited into different groove shapes, using both stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4 V. The influence of welding parameters on the microstructure and the heat affected zone has been studied. The parameters have been modified in order to achieve low heat input and consequently low distortion as well as low metallurgical impact. Finally, an evaluation of the opportunities for an automatized repair process is made.
Due to significant developments over the last decades, laser beam welding has become a well-established industrial process offering high processing speeds and causing low component distortions. But an important issue currently preventing its intense use, especially in the energy or plant construction sector where high alloy steels are applied, concerns hot crack formation. Although considerable advances in understanding hot cracking mechanisms have been made, most of the known influencing factors are metallurgical in character. The thermo-mechanical effects are barely considered or quantified. Up to the present, there exist numerous hot cracking tests that were however conceived for welding methods other than laser beam welding. Considering the special features of the laser welding process, such as high cooling rates and the narrow process zone, results obtained with other welding techniques and test procedures cannot be transferred to laser beam welding. In this study, the laser beam weldability of various stainless steels was examined in terms of their susceptibility to hot cracking by means of the controlled tensile weldability test, which was proven to be suitable for use in conjunction with CO2 laser welding. This test allows the application of tensile strain at a variable fixed cross-head speed transverse to the welding direction. Full and partial penetration bead-on-plate welds were produced. In a first attempt to determine the impact of the applied external strain on the local transient strains and strain rates near the weld pool, an optical system was used to measure the backside surface of partial penetration welds. The results showed the influence of the strain and the strain rates on hot crack formation. Furthermore, a classification of the studied austenitic, duplex and ferritic stainless steels according to the established test criteria (critical strain and cross-head speed) was conducted.
An oscillating (AC) magnet field was used to suppress porosity formation and to stabilize the surface of the weld pool in bead-on-plate partial penetration 4.4 kW Nd:YAG laser beam welding of AW-5754 plates in PA position. The magnet was mounted on the laser welding head. The magnet field (up to 0.4 T and 10 kHz) was oriented perpendicular the welding direction.
The analysis of the weld cross-sections and x-ray images shows a drastic reduction (up to 90%) of porosity contents in the welds. The observed effects can be explained in terms of electromagnetically (EM)
induced 'Archimedes' forces as well as the EM stirring flow in the weld pool. Moreover, usage of AC magnetic fields results in a significant reduction (up to 50%) of the surface roughness of the welds. This effect can be explained in terms of electromagnetic (EM)
contribution to the surface tension (the Garnier-Moreau effect)
A three-dimensional turbulent steady state numerical model was used to investigate the influence of a stationary magnetic field during partial penetration high power laser beam keyhole welding of thick aluminum parts. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to calculate the three-dimensional heat transfer, fluid dynamics and electromagnetic field equations. Thermo-capillary (Marangoni) convection at the upper weld pool surface, natural convection due to gravity and latent heat of solid-liquid phase transition were taken into account. It shows that the application of steady magnetic fields produces a braking Lorentz force in the melt based on the Hartmann effect. The flow pattern in the weld pool and also the temperature distribution and associated weld pool geometry thus change significantly. Convective flows in the melt can effectively be suppressed and the influence of thermo-capillary flow is diminished to a thin surface layer.
A multi-physics numerical model was developed to investigate the influence of a steady magnetic field during partial penetration keyhole laser beam welding of an aluminum plate in flat position. Three-dimensional heat transfer, fluid dynamics including phase transition and electromagnetic field partial differential equations were solved with the finite element differential equation solver COMSOL Multiphysics. The magnetic field was aligned perpendicularly to the welding direction. The main objective of these simulations was to estimate the critical value of the magnetic field needed to suppress convective flows in the weld pool during high-power (up to 20 kW) laser beam welding of aluminum alloys with up to 20 mm deep weld pool. It reveals that steady magnetic fields with corresponding Hartmann numbers Ha^2 ~ 10^4 based on the half-width of the weld pool can effectively suppress convective flows in the weld pool. Moreover, the typically occurring wineglass-shape of the weld cross section caused by thermo-capillary flow is weakened.
Simulation of an inductive weld pool support for deep penetration laser beam welding of metal parts
(2012)
three-dimensional laminar steady state numerical model was used to investigate the influence of an altemating current (ac) magnetic field during single pass high power laser beam keyhole welding of 20 mm thick aluminum. The three-dimensional heat transfer, fluid dynamics and electromagnetic field equations were solved with the commercial finite element package COMSOL Multiphysics. Dominant physical effects of the process were taken into account: Thermo-capillary (Marangoni) convection at the upper and lower weld pool surfaces, natural convection due to the gravity influence and the latent heat of solid-liquid phase transition. Simulations were conducted for several magnetic field strengths and it was found that the gravity drop-out associated with welding of thick plates due to the hydrostatie pressure can be prevented by the application of an ac magnetic field below the weld specimen of around 70 mT (rms) at an oscillation frequency of 450 Hz. The inductive support System allows for single-pass laser beam welding of thick aluminum plates. The flow pattem in the molten zone and the temperature distributions are significantly changed by the application of the electromagnetic forces in the weld pool.
