Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Narrow Gap Laser-Arc Hybrid Welded 40 mm Thick Mild Steel.

ABSTRACT: Both laser-arc hybrid welding and narrow gap welding have potential for the fabrication of thick sections, but their combination has been seldom studied. In this research, 40 mm thick mild steel was welded by narrow gap laser-arc hybrid welding. A weld with smooth layer transition, free of visible defects, was obtained by nine passes at a 6 mm width narrow gap. The lower part of the weld has the lowest mechanical properties because of the lowest amount of acicular ferrite, but its ultimate tensile strength and impact absorbing energy is still 49% and 60% higher than those of base metal, respectively. The microhardness deviation of all filler layers along weld thickness direction is no more than 15 HV0.2, indicating that no temper softening appeared during multiple heat cycles. The results provide an alternative technique for improving the efficiency and quality of welding thick sections.

Effect of Quenching Tempering-Post Weld Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Laser-Arc Hybrid-Welded Boron Steel.

Project description:In the present study, we have investigated the effect of post-welding heat treatment (PWHT) of quenching and tempering (QT) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded boron steel joints processed using laser-arc hybrid welding on two commercial filler materials, SM80 (Type-I) and ZH120 (Type-II). The microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joints were characterized via optical microscopy, Vickers microhardness, and the uniaxial tensile test. The macrostructure of the weld joint was composed of a fusion zone (FZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and base metal zone (BMZ). After the QT-PWHT, the QT specimens revealed the V-shape hardness distribution across the weld joint, while the as-welded specimen exhibited the M-shape hardness distribution. As a result, the QT specimens revealed the premature fracture with little reduction in the area at the interface between the HAZ and FZ, while the as-welded specimen exhibited the local necking and rupture in the BMZ. In addition, the Type-II filler material with a greater value of equivalent carbon content was rarely influenced by the tempering, maintaining its hardness in the as-quenched status, while the Type-I filler material showed a gradual decrease in hardness with the tempering time. The results demonstrate that the Type-II weld joint outperformed the Type-I weld joint in terms of the structural integrity of welded parts.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Welded Joints of 1.4462 Duplex Steel Made by the K-TIG Method.

Project description:K-TIG (Keyhole Tungsten Inert Gas) method is a new, emerging welding technology that offers a significant acceleration of the joining process, even for very thick plates. However, its potential for welding of certain materials is still unknown. Particularly challenging are duplex steels as this technology does not allow the use of a filler material, which is crucial for these steels and for weld joint microstructure adjustment. In order to demonstrate the suitability of this technology for single-pass welding of 1.4462 duplex steel detailed studies of the microstructure of the weld joints obtained for different linear energies were carried out and discussed with respect to their mechanical properties. According to the results obtained, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) shows a microstructure similar to the HAZ of duplex steel welded with the traditional TIG multi-pass methods. However, the weld, due to the lack of filler material, had a microstructure different to that typical for duplex steel welded joints and was also characterized by an increased content of ferrite. However, all joints, both in terms of microstructure and mechanical properties, met the requirements of the relevant standards. Moreover, the K-TIG process can be carried out in the linear energy range typical of duplex steel welding, although further optimization is needed.

Microstructure and Tensile Behavior of Laser Arc Hybrid Welded Dissimilar Al and Ti Alloys.

Project description:Fiber laser-cold metal transfer arc hybrid welding was developed to welding-braze dissimilar Al and Ti alloys in butt configuration. Microstructure, interface properties, tensile behavior, and their relationships were investigated in detail. The results show the cross-weld tensile strength of the joints is up to 213 MPa, 95.5% of same Al weld. The optimal range of heat input for accepted joints was obtained as 83-98 J·mm-1. Within this range, the joint is stronger than 200 MPa and fractures in weld metal, or else, it becomes weaker and fractures at the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer. The IMCs layer of an accepted joint is usually thin and continuous, which is about 1μm-thick and only consists of TiAl₂ due to fast solidification rate. However, the IMCs layer at the top corner of fusion zone/Ti substrate is easily thickened with increasing heat input. This thickened IMCs layer consists of a wide TiAl₃ layer close to FZ and a thin TiAl₂ layer close to Ti substrate. Furthermore, both bead shape formation and interface growth were discussed by laser-arc interaction and melt flow. Tensile behavior was summarized by interface properties.

Crystallographic orientation data from chloride-induced stress corrosion crack (CISCC) paths in gas tungsten arc welded (GTAW) austenitic stainless steel 304L.

Project description:This Data in Brief article presents crystallographic data collected along chloride-induced stress corrosion cracks (CISCC) in a gas tungsten arc welded (GTAW) austenitic stainless steel (AuSS) 304L. The experimental setup involved a welded stainless steel 304L coupon of dimensions 105 mm × 18.5 mm × 3 mm, loaded in a 4-point bending fixture with a maximum tensile stress of 380 MPa. The fixtured specimen was immersed in boiling magnesium chloride (MgCl2) solution until a through-crack was observed on the specimen surface after 17 hours of boiling. The cross-section was subsequently polished, and 37 cracks of interest in the heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld zone (WZ) were selected for crystallographic characterization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to map the grain orientations along and surrounding each crack path. The obtained orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) datasets were post-processed using EDAX OIM V8 proprietary software to generate inverse pole figures (IPF), image quality (IQ) figures, detector signal (SEM) images, and to determine the Taylor factor and Schmid factor of mapped grains. This dataset can be used to understand CISCC crack initiation, propagation, and termination behaviors, as has been reported in the accompanying original research article. This data article providing the raw EBSD OIM datasets and processed images formatted for accessibility in future studies. This comprehensive EBSD dataset can further be used to extract grain boundary misorientation information; benchmark comparative studies of SCC/CISCC in AuSS and other Fe or Ni alloys; and provide critical validation data on grain morphology, misorientation, and crystallography for GTAW and CISCC models.

Analytic framework on parameter ranking for hybrid TIG MAG arc welding of mild steel.

Project description:Hybrid approach advocates combining two or more traditional technologies to overcome the limitations of the conventional practice. The devised Hybrid TIG MAG arc welding process with the help of an indigenous fixture overcomes the shortcomings of the conventional arc welding. The success of any hybrid technology depends on synergistic parameter interactions which demand a rigorous process control through parameter optimization. The devised process is controlled by 13 major parameters. Optimization of all the process controlling parameters is a resource consuming activity. This study manifests an analytic framework as a combination of hierarchical and networking decision making algorithms, which seeks input on parameter effects and their ranges arrived at through experimentation and gives a ranked or prioritized list of process controlling parameters as an output. The framework identifies 5 critical parameters responsible for the 62% of the parameter interactions which need to be optimized based on the application or the job at hand. The remaining 8 parameters responsible for the balance 38% of the parameter interactions have been stabilized through experimentation once for all process variations irrespective of the application or the job at hand. The study works on the merger of the process optimization and the process prioritization techniques.

Corrosion behaviour of welded low-carbon steel in the Arctic marine environment.

Project description:Arctic offshore sites have high potential for the exploration of energy resources; thus, data concerning the behaviour of structural materials in the Arctic environment are required. Here, we report the corrosive characteristics of welded low-carbon steels under simulated Arctic low-temperature conditions. The corrosion tendencies in the submerged and splash zones of offshore structures were investigated by immersion tests, salt spray tests (SST), and cyclic corrosion tests (CCT). The effects of decreasing seawater temperature on the corrosion were identified, and the differences in corrosion between the base metal (BM) and weld metal (WM) were analysed. In particular, the BM showed higher corrosion than the WM, indicating that the parent metal (PM) is corroded more than the fusion zone (FZ) in weld joints under severe corrosion conditions. Thus, we have identified the importance and influence of the thermal expansion of materials on corrosion under Arctic conditions.

Effect of Microstructure on the Corrosion Resistance of TIG Welded 1579 Alloy.

Project description:The paper studies microstructure, chemical composition and corrosion activity of the tungsten inert gas welded joint of the Al-Mg-Sc alloy. An intensive corrosion attack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) was found due to precipitation of secondary phases at recrystallized grain boundaries. The ccorrosion process initiated along the boundary of α-Al grains, where a high concentration of anodic (Mg2Si and Mg2Al3) and cathodic phases ((MnFe)Al6) was observed. Increased temperatures during welding led to coalescence of the anodic phases in HAZ. Additionally, HAZ was found to be enriched with hard intermetallic compounds (Mg2Si and (MnFe)Al6). This area had a higher microhardness (930 MPa) compared to base metal (BM, 895 MPa) and fusion zone (FZ, 810 MPa). The volume fraction of secondary phases was 26% in BM, 28% in FZ and 38% in HAZ. The average grain size increased in the following order: (9 ± 3) µm (BM) < (16 ± 3) µm (HAZ) < (21 ± 5) µm (FZ). A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating of aluminum-based material was applied to protect the weld from oxidation. The PEO-coating provided a high corrosion protection in the aggressive Cl--containing environment.

Toxicity of stainless and mild steel particles generated from gas-metal arc welding in primary human small airway epithelial cells.

Project description:Welding fumes induce lung toxicity and are carcinogenic to humans but the molecular mechanisms have yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of stainless and mild steel particles generated via gas-metal arc welding using primary human small airway epithelial cells (hSAEC) and ToxTracker reporter murine stem cells, which track activation of six cancer-related pathways. Metal content (Fe, Mn, Ni, Cr) of the particles was relatively homogenous across particle size. The particles were not cytotoxic in reporter stem cells but stainless steel particles activated the Nrf2-dependent oxidative stress pathway. In hSAEC, both particle types induced time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity, and stainless steel particles also increased generation of reactive oxygen species. The cellular metal content was higher for hSAEC compared to the reporter stem cells exposed to the same nominal dose. This was, in part, related to differences in particle agglomeration/sedimentation in the different cell media. Overall, our study showed differences in cytotoxicity and activation of cancer-related pathways between stainless and mild steel welding particles. Moreover, our data emphasizes the need for careful assessment of the cellular dose when comparing studies using different in vitro models.
