The scope of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of joining parameters on the microstructural features and mechanical properties of dissimilar aluminum alloys, 1mm-thickness fixing AA6K31 at the top position and fixing AA5J32 at the bottom position. The friction stir lap welds were studied under various welding conditions, rotation speed of 1000, 1250, 1500rpm and welding speed of 100, 300, 500, 700mm/min, respectively. Mechanical test has been investigated in terms of tensile shear test and hardness test. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as onion ring, zigzag type, hooking with the void, have been observed with revolutionary pitch. All welding conditions fractured at the HAZ of top plate, A6K31 and also the strength compare with base metal of lap joints were low efficiency, 52~63%. The thickness of fractured position was decreased with the lower heat input conditions. The relationships were excellent due to linear between the effective thickness of fractured position and peak load. The fractured position was the interface between joint area and not joint area. Also the strength efficiency compared with base metal was lower than decreasing rate of thickness because the hardness was decreased at fractured position due to softened material.

Recently the use of ultra high strength steels (UHSS) in structural and safety component is rapidly increasing in the automotive industry. For example, 1.5GPa grade hot stamping with die-quenching of boron steel 22MnB5 could apply crash-resistant parts such as bumpers and pillars. The development of laser welding process of hot stamping steels, fundamental bead-on-plate welding and lap joint welding test were carried out using 3kW Nd:YAG laser. Local hardening & HAZ softening occurred in hot stamping steel as a result of metallurgical change caused by the welding heat input in the Nd:YAG laser welding process. The size of soft zones in the hot stamping steel was related to the welding heat input, being smaller at high speeds which generated a smaller heat input. Also in the case of lap joint design structure, same welded characteristics were shown. The HAZ softening degree was controlled to ensure the joint strength.

Lap joint welding conducts low carbon steel plates using a 2.0kW continuous wave Nd:YAG laser beam. The specimen is composed of thin plate of 20 sheets. Process Variables contain two controlled parameters of the laser power and the welding speed. In order to quantitatively examine the characteristics of the lap welding, the welding quality of the cut section, stain-stress behavior, and the hardness of the welded part are investigated. The weld width difference between the top and the bottom because the welding speed is increased. The reason, cooling rate is decreased because of fast welding speed. When the heat input is higher, larger volume of the base metal will melt and the welding heat has longer time to conduct into the bottom from the top. The microstructure and tensile properties of the joints are investigated in order to analyze the effects of heat input on the quality of laser welded specimen. From the results of the investigation, We observe that welding quality is good for the laser power of 1800W, and laser welding speed from 1.8m/min to 2.2m/min.

This paper deals with the effect of laser welding parameters on the weld formation. Thin steels for automotive application were prepared so as to be welded with high power carbon dioxide laser system. Major process parameters were position of focus and travel speed. The effect of shielding gas was also discussed by employing the high speed photometry. Test results showed that the optimal position of focus varied in accordance with the joint configuration; bead-on-plate, butt or lap welding. It was recommended that the position of focus for the lap welding be located at slightly inner part of the material to be welded. In this case, however, it was noticeable that the weld penetration ratio, d/t$_{0}$ dropped drastically at the critical region. Results also demonstrated that both the bead width and penetration reduced as the travel speed increased. The penetration ratio showed two distinct regions; stabilized zone at the lower range of the travel spped and sudden drop zone at the higher range of travel speed. Lower limit of the penetration for acceptable weld was proved to be about 90% of the parent metal thickness based on the physical properties of the weld. Mixed gas application for both the shielding of molten metal and laser induced plasma control was recommended as far as the penetration was concerned.d.

This study presents a comprehensive procedure for the low cycle fatigue test of ultrasonically welded (UW) coated conductor (CC) lap-joints. The entire process is examined in detail, from the robust fabrication of the UW REBCO CC joints to the reliability testing under a low number of repeated cycle fatigue conditions. A continuous I_c measurement system enables real-time monitoring of I_c variations throughout the fatigue tests. The study aims to provide a step-by-step procedure that involves joint fabrication, electromechanical property (EMP) tests under uniaxial tension for stress level determination, and subsequent low-cycle fatigue tests. The joints are fabricated using a hybrid method that combines UW with adding In-Sn soldering, achieving a flux-free hybrid welding approach (UW-HW flux-free). The selected conditions for the low cycle fatigue tests include a stress ratio of R=0.1 and a frequency of 0.02 Hz. The results reveal some insights into the fatigue behavior, irreversible changes, and cumulative damage in the CC joints.

As parts are becoming more complex and smaller with the development of new materials, high-quality laser precision processing is getting the limelight. Laser enables quick processing and less deformation of materials. It also enables welding with diverse materials. In this study, the pole rod and tap for the secondary battery were laser-welded using cross and coaxial nozzles. The results of the comparative analysis of cross and coaxial nozzles according to the processing parameters showed that the coaxial nozzle had more sensitive welding characteristic to the nozzle position or pressure than the cross nozzle. This indicated that the processing parameters should be carefully determined for the welding with the coaxial nozzle. The pole rod and tap were welded together in a form of T joint to improve the output of the secondary battery, and the cross nozzle had a better welding characteristic than the coaxial nozzle.

용접이음부의 신뢰성 확보는 구조물의 건전성과 내구성에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 점용접 이음재의 피로설계기준(fatigue design criterion)을 정하기 위해서는 정확한 응력해석과 체계적인 피로강도평가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 전동차량 차체에 많이 적용되는 냉간 및 열간압연강판인 SPCC, SPCE, SPHE을 대상으로 기하학적 인자(geometrical factors)들을 선별해서 TS형과 CT형의 대표적인 점용접 이음재 시험편을 기본모델로 하여 인장전단하중을 가하여 피로강도 및 피로특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 그리고 피로균열의 발생과 성장 기구에 대한 영향을 분석하기위해 용접 시 발생되는 여러 가지 주요인자들 중 입열량에 의해 발생할 수 있는 용접잔류응력을 X-ray 회절법에 의해 실험적으로 해석하였다. 그리고 이러한 해석을 통하여 얻어진 결과를 중첩(superposition)함으로 해서 잔류응력을 고려했을 경우 너깃 단 최대주응력으로 피로강도를 재평가하여 합리적인 피로설계기준(fatigue design criterion)을 재정립하고자 하였다.

본 연구에서는 상수도관의 도 송수관등 대형관(700mm 이상)에 주로 사용되고 있는 도복장강관의 품질 및 시공, 유지관리에 영향을 미치는 용접접합의 현황을 조사 분석하고 용접접합의 개선방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위해 강관의 사용현황 등의 문제점을 조사하고 용접접합별 특성, 그리고 수동 및 자동 용접접합을 비교 분석하여 기술적, 경제적으로 효과적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 비교 분석한 용접접합별 특성 검토 결과, 상수도 관로의 관경 700mm - 3,000mm의 현장 시공시 자동용접공법이 수동용접공법에 비해 순공사비 대비 평균 9% 절감되며, 용접공정만 비교시에는 평균 13.5% 이상 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 특히, KS상 강관 진원도에 대한 허용치가 크며 대부분 겹치기 이음으로 되어있는 국내 현실에서 작업환경이 열악한 경우 진원확보를 위한 시간이 무한정 소요될 수 있어 실제적인 절감액은 더욱 차이를 보일 것으로 사료된다.

유도 용접은 비접촉식으로 깨끗하고 빠른 공정으로 현재 주목받고 있다. 하지만 열가소성 수지는 전자기장에 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 유도 용접은 서셉터(Susceptor)라는 발열체가 필요하다. 고품질 접합을 목표로 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 결국 발열체라는 이물질이 들어가기 때문에 기준이 필요하다. 시편의 제작과 시험은 ASTM D5868에 근거하여 진행된다. 본 논문에서 평가 기준은 용접된 접합면의 상태와 기공률, 전단강도로 총 3가지를 근거로 판단할 것을 제안한다. 용접되는 접착면은 용융되고 냉각되면서 고형화가 되기 때문에 급격한 온도 변화는 기공을 발생시킬 수 있다. 또한 가열이 균일하지 않다면 원하는 성능을 기대하기 힘들다. PA6 (CF 30%) 엔지니어링 플라스틱을 이용하여 서셉터 제작과 유도 용접 그리고 성능 검증으로 진행하였다.
