These types of weld are very interesting for junctions of Al-alloys parts in the transportation field to promote the lightweight of a large scale chassis. The weld joints were characterized through various metallurgical methods including optical microscopy and hardness measurements to assess their microstructure and to individuate the nature of the intermetallics, their morphology, and distribution. The results allowed for the evaluation of the discrepancies between the welding technologies (MIG, CMT, fiber laser) on different aluminum alloys that represent an exhaustive range of possible joints of a frame. For this reason, both simple bar samples and real junctions of a prototype frame of a sports car were studied and, compared where possible. The study demonstrated the higher quality of innovative CMT and fiber laser-MIG hybrid welding than traditional MIG and the comparison between casting and extrusion techniques provide some inputs for future developments in the automotive field.

  • Welding of Aluminum Alloys
    4 Welding of Aluminum Alloys R.R. Ambriz and V. Mayagoitia Instituto Politécnico Nacional CIITEC-IPN, Cerrada de Cecati S/N Col. Sta. Catarina C.P. 02250, Azcapotzalco, DF, México 1. Introduction Welding processes are essential for the manufacture of a wide variety of products, such as: frames, pressure vessels, automotive components and any product which have to be produced by welding. However, welding operations are generally expensive, require a considerable investment of time and they have to establish the appropriate welding conditions, in order to obtain an appropriate performance of the welded joint. There are a lot of welding processes, which are employed as a function of the material, the geometric characteristics of the materials, the grade of sanity desired and the application type (manual, semi-automatic or automatic). The following describes some of the most widely used welding process for aluminum alloys. 1.1 Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) This is a welding process that melts and joins metals by means of heat. The heat is produced by an electric arc generated by the electrode and the materials. The stability of the arc is obtained by means of a distance between the electrode and the material, named stick welding. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the process. The electrode-holder is connected to one terminal of the power source by a welding cable. A second cable is connected to the other terminal, as is presented in Figure 1a. Depending on the connection, is possible to obtain a direct polarity (Direct Current Electrode Negative, DCEN) or reverse polarity (Direct Current Electrode Positive, DCEP).

Alloy 6060 is typical of a family of Al-Mg-Si extrusion alloys, which are considered weldable only when using an appropriate filler alloy such as 4043 (Al-5Si). The effect of 4043 filler dilution (i.e. weld metal silicon content) on cracking sensitivity and solidification path of Alloy 6060 welds are investigated.

Even if the galvanic electrodeposition is certainly a mature technology, new concepts, novel applications, environmental legislation and the new material requirements for next-generation devices make the scientific research in this field still very active. This review focuses mostly at the decorative and wearable applications, and aims to create a bridge between the past knowledge and the future direction that this process, i.e., electrodeposition, is taking.

  • Control of Weldability Per Hansson
    Control of weldability Research leading to the development of two new quenched and tempered tool steels. Per Hansson Dissertation TRITA-IIP-04-12 ISSN 1650-1888 Chair of Welding Technology Department of Production Engineering Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm 2004 Preface After obtaining the MSc Met engr the present author worked with projects on weldability research at the Swedish Institute of Metals Research (SIMR) in Stockholm. At the same time Dr´s courses and classes were taken at KTH on welding technology. After five years of basic welding technological research at the SIMR the field of product development in the steel industry tempted and the author came to work with product development of quenched and tempered steels with rather high hardnesses/strength levels such as abrasion resistant steels, armour plate and the like. The similarity between the work regarding HAZ hardenability and the hardenability of quenched and tempered steels may at a glance not be obvious, but the HAZ in a weldment is indeed a quencher in miniature and the principles of materials behaviour in the HAZ in a weldment and the behaviour of a plate being quenched in a quencher are basically the same. What was gained in knowledge during the early years was to be the leading star for the product development of the quenched and tempered steels. Finally, two new tool steels have been developed with low carbon contents for being tool steels although high in carbon for weldable steels. Here the principles for hardenability have been used both in the sense of producing a quench and tempered steel according to rules formalised by Grossman and his colleagues and with use of the hardenability equations set up first by Dearden and O´Neill.
