Five main methods have been developed to date. These are gas gun welding (GGW), explosive welding (EXW), magnetic pulse welding (MPW), vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW), and laser impact welding (LIW). They all share a similar welding mechanism, but they also have different energy sources and different applications. This review mainly focuses on research related to the experimental setups of various welding methods, jet phenomenon, welding interface characteristics, and welding parameters. The introduction states the importance of high-velocity impact welding in the joining of dissimilar materials. The review of experimental setups provides the current situation and limitations of various welding processes. Jet phenomenon, welding interface characteristics, and welding parameters are all related to the welding mechanism. The conclusion and future work are summarized. Keywords: impact welding; impact velocity; impact angle; welding interface 1. Introduction Welding technique has wide applications in the areas of aerospace, automobiles, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, and bridges. It is one of the important manufacturing methods in industries. Based on the state of materials during the welding process, welding techniques are categorized as solid-state welding and fusion welding [1]. In fusion welding, metallurgical bonding occurs during the solidification of materials. In solid-state welding, metallurgical bonding occurs below the melting point of materials. Therefore, defects such as solidification cracking, distortion, and porosity [2], which appear in fusion welding as a result of the liquid phase, can be avoided in solid-state welding. Solid-state welding has a long history that predates the invention of arc welding. Ancients used hammers to weld gold earlier than 1000 B.C., which today is called forge welding. Since the early 20th century, the development of solid-state welding has been limited due to arc welding being easier than forge welding and having a higher efficiency. The advantages of joining dissimilar and other specific materials, such as Al 7075 alloy, titanium, and zinc-coated sheet steels [3], brought solid-state welding back onto the stage. For example, the joining of steel and copper provides good electric conductivity and mechanical properties; the joining of steel and aluminum reduces the weight of automobile [4]. Dissimilar materials usually have different thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficients, and melting points, which may result in defects in fusion welding [5–7]. Furthermore, some specific alloys are sensitive to heat. Both Al 7075 alloy and titanium are important materials in aerospace and aircraft. However, Al 7075 alloy is susceptible to hot cracking [8,9], and titanium is chemically active at high temperature [10–12]. Zinc-coated steel is an important structural material in automobiles. However, during the fusion-welding process, zinc vaporizes, and porosity forms when zinc vapor is trapped.

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.

Alghamdi ([email protected]) Received: 24 March 2020 – Revised: 10 August 2020 – Accepted: 11 September 2020 – Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract. The bimetal casting process using the liquid–liquid technique was developed to produce a high- quality hyper-eutectic Al–21Si / hypo-eutectic Al–7.5Si alloy bimetal material. Microstructure and microhard- ness were investigated as a function of the time interval between pouring hypo-eutectic and hyper-eutectic alloys. A bimetal material was successfully fabricated using a liquid–liquid casting technique with a 10 s time interval in a permanent mould casting. A unique structure comprised of hyper-eutectic Al–21Si, hypo-eutectic Al–7.5Si and a eutectic interface of 70 µm thickness was obtained. This structure totally differs from that obtained using a higher time interval above 10 s that showed an imperfect interface bond due to the shrinkage cavity and formation of oxides. The hardness variation from the upper zone of 117.5 HV to the lower zone of 76 HV corresponded to the variation in Si and the content of other alloying elements.

  • 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).

Accepted 28 July, 2011 An AISI 304 type of austenitic stainless steel and low carbon steel were cladded by explosive welding in this study. Four explosive loading rates were used with the range of 1 and 2.0. Stand-of distance (s=t) was also used as a welding parameter. Cladded materials have been subjected to heat treatment at 250°C for times of ranging from 1 to 4 h. Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties has been evaluated using optical and scanning electron microscopy, EDS analysis technique and hardness tests, respectively. The results indicate that straight and wavy structures of bonding at the interface were obtained according to the loading of explosive rate. The grain size of the cladded materials near the interface were increased with the duration of heat treatment. Hardness values at the interface of the cladded materials were decreased with the increment of heat treatment period. Key word: Explosive welding, hardness, microstructure, stainless steel, low carbon steel. INTRODUCTION Explosion welding is one of the joining methods steel has low corrosion resistance therefore, it may be consisting of a solid state welding process in which cladded with the materials such as aluminium, titanium controlled explosive donation on the surface of a metal.
