1 Impact Welding and Impulse Shape Calibration of Nickel and Titanium Impact Welding and Impulse Shape Calibration of Nickel and Titanium Alloys Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bhuvi Swarna Lalitha Nirudhoddi Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Glenn S. Daehn, Advisor Dr. Xun Liu Dr. Stephen R. Niezgoda 1 Copyrighted by Bhuvi Swarna Lalitha Nirudhoddi 2019 2 Abstract High-temperature metallic materials such as nickel-based and titanium alloys are attractive as skin structures for aerospace vehicles. They can allow significant performance improvement and mass reduction in aircraft. However, there are substantial challenges in welding and forming them affordably for service. This project examines the use of impulse-based methods, as enabled by the vaporizing foil actuator method, for the impact welding and precise shaping of alloys Ni - 718, Ni - 625, Ni - 230, and Ti 6242. The mechanical properties and weld microstructure of four similar and Six dissimilar VFA spot welding combinations are presented and analyzed. Microhardness measurements showed the absence of a heat affected zone (HAZ). The dissimilar Ni - Ni joints and Ni - Ti joints exhibited high loads to failure in lap-shear tests and show great potential for applications involving transition joints, repair welding, medical devices, and more. The VFA method is cheap, safe, fast, durable, and marks the advancement in the solid-state joining of dissimilar nickel and titanium systems. Nickel alloys typically exhibit low springback during quasi-static forming processes. However, the large amounts of strain hardening that occurs during these operations often requires a second annealing stress relief operation. Titanium alloys are commonly known to exhibit high springback levels due to the high strength to stiffness ratios of titanium alloys. Sheet metals components are usually shaped by hot or ii superplastic forming. This process is expensive and has long lead-times. This work examines an athermal process to relax or remove the residual stresses and elastic strains in sheet metals. All the materials explored, especially titanium showed significant improvements in shape conformance when processed through the VFA method. Recent shock-based calibration studies have provided some insight into the previously unconfirmed mechanism of springback relief. The driving hypothesis for this physical phenomenon is that modest shock waves plastically relieve elastic residual stresses and result in target shape conformance. To better understand this mechanism, VFA based shock processing experiments were used to change the curvature of pre- strained materials to a fully flat shape. It is speculated that the change in shape is a consequence of elastic stress relief caused by the propagation of planar shockwaves. A mechanics and shock physics based theory for shockwave interaction with residual stresses in a pre-strained sample is proposed. The possible pressures involved in this process were calculated from shock breakout velocity profiles captured by a photon doppler velocimetry system. The preliminary pressures are estimated to have satisfied the plastic yield criterion for this loading condition. iii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna, my beloved grandparents, parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. I am eternally grateful for their boundless love, encouragement, and sacrifice. Sarvam Sri Krishnarpanam Astu iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Glenn Daehn, for his kindness, guidance, and generosity throughout my graduate career at Ohio State.

For many people involved in the metal- working trades, the subject of stress relief is something they are not well versed in.

With a little technical assistance, the average layman can get a basic understanding of residual stresses and how to deal with them. With this knowledge, he will be better prepared to evaluate shop problems and find a |solution that is effective. The following information is designed to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about stress relieving.

    Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing Article Magnetic Pulse Welding and Spot Welding with Improved Coil Efficiency—Application for Dissimilar Welding of Automotive Metal Alloys Chady Khalil, Surendar Marya and Guillaume Racineux * Research Institute in Civil and Mechanical Engineering (GeM, UMR 6183 CNRS), Ecole Centrale de Nantes, 1 rue de la Noë, F-44321 Nantes, France; [email protected] (C.K.); [email protected] (S.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 June 2020; Accepted: 6 July 2020; Published: 8 July 2020 Abstract: Lightweight structures in the automotive and transportation industry are increasingly researched. Multiple materials with tailored properties are integrated into structures via a large spectrum of joining techniques. Welding is a viable solution in mass scale production in an automotive sector still dominated by steels, although hybrid structures involving other materials like aluminum are becoming increasingly important. The welding of dissimilar metals is difficult if not impossible, due to their differential thermo mechanical properties along with the formation of intermetallic compounds, particularly when fusion welding is envisioned. Solid-state welding, as with magnetic pulse welding, is of particular interest due to its short processing cycles. However, electromagnetic pulse welding is constrained by the selection of processing parameters, particularly the coil design and its life cycle. This paper investigates two inductor designs, a linear (I) and O shape, for the joining of sheet metals involving aluminum and steels. The O shape inductor is found to be more efficient both with magnetic pulse (MPW) and magnetic pulse spot welding (MPSW) and offers a better life cycle.

Since no external heat sources are used during the magnetic pulse welding process, it offers important advantages for the joining of dissimilar material combinations. Although magnetic pulse welding has emerged as a novel technique to join metallic tubes, the dimensional consistency of the joint assembly due to the strong impact of the flyer tube onto the target tube and the resulting plastic deformation is a major concern. Often, an internal support inside the target tube is considered as a solution to improve the stiffness of the joint assembly. A detailed investigation of magnetic pulse welding of Cu-DHP flyer tubes and 11SMnPb30 steel target tubes is performed, with and without an internal support inside the target tubes, and using a range of experimental conditions. The influence of the key process conditions on the evolution of the joint between the tubes with progress in time has been determined using experimental investigations and numerical modelling. As the process is extremely fast, real-time monitoring of the process conditions and evolution of important responses such as impact velocity and angle, and collision velocity, which determine the formation of a metallic bond, is impossible.
