In the case of using new techniques of joining these structural elements, the selection of proper corrosion protection without losing the required properties of the joint may determine its potential application. This paper presents the results of experimental research concerning the influence of corrosion protection on the microstructure and mechanical strength of resistance spot welded (RSW) and refill friction stir spot welded (RFSSW) joints. The tests were carried out on 2024 T3 aluminum alloy, both sides alcladed. For comparison purposes, the following joints were welded: without any protection, with the primer layer, with anodic oxide coating, and with anodic oxide coating plus sealant between the overlapping surface of the welded metal sheet. The samples were visually inspected, and metallographic and mechanical strength examination was conducted. The test results indicate that the application of the protective layers and its type have an impact on the strength of RSW and RFSSW joints.

While there are many welding processes Welding is a broad term for the process routinely employed in occupational settings, the of joining metals through coalescence (AWS, most common arc welding processes are manual 2010). Welding techniques tend to be broadly metal arc (MMA, ISO No. 111), gas metal arc classified as arc welding or gas welding. Arc (GMA, ISO No. 13), flux-cored arc (FCA, ISO Nos welding uses electricity to generate an arc, 114 and 136), gas tungsten arc (GTA, ISO No. 14), whereas gas or oxyfuel welding (ISO 4063:2009 and submerged arc (SA, ISO No. 12) (Table 1.2 process numbers 3, 31, 311, 312, and 313) uses fuel and Table 1.3). Electric resistance welding (ER, gases such as acetylene or hydrogen to generate ISO Nos 21 and 22) is also commonly used for spot heat. Welding results in concurrent exposures or seam welding, and uses electric currents and including welding fumes, gases, and ionizing force to generate heat. In occupational settings, and non-ionizing radiation, and coexposures these processes are most commonly used to weld from other sources such as asbestos and solvents mild steel (MS, low carbon) or stainless steel (SS).

  • Effects of Refill Friction Stir Spot Weld Spacing and Edge Margin on Mechanical Properties of Multi-Spot-Welded Panels

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of the refill friction stir spot weld spacing and the edge margin on the mechanical properties of multi-spot-welded AA7075-T6 panels. AA7075-T6 is a baseline aerospace aluminum alloy used in aircraft structures. The study employs an innovative robotic RFSSW system that is designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI). The experimental strategy uses Design of Experiments (DoE) to characterize the failure loads of multi-spot-welded panels in terms of the spot weld spacing, edge margin, and heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the spot weld. The RFSSW process leaves behind a thermal “imprint” as HAZ in heat-treatable aluminum alloys. According to the DoE results, larger spot weld spacings with no HAZ overlap produce higher failure loads of multi-spot-welded panels.

(Carmen) MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY DISPUTE: CLAIM OF EMPLOYES: (a) That carrier is violating the controlling agreement at North Little Rock Shops, particularly Rules 29 and 136 (a) by refusing to pay the welders’ rate of pay to Car-man Welder R. A. Parkhill when assigned to operating spot welding machine. (b) In consideration of the foregoing, Carman Welder R. A. Parkhill is entitled to be additionally compensated in the amount of 5c per hour from March 21, 1949 to August 31, 1949, both dates inclusive, and 6c per hour from September 1, 1949, to date, for all time engaged in operating spot welding machine. EMPLOYES’ STATEMENT OF FACTS: At North Little Rock, carrier maintains a universal or multirange spot welder in coach shop. This machine is presently operated by Carman R. A. Parkhill, hereinafter referred to as the claimant, and is capable of welding all types and gauges of metal from 28% to 1/2 inch, inclusive. When machine was first installed, a factory representative was on hand to teach claimant how to operate machine, which was a slow process at first because in addition to learning the actual operation, he had to acquire a thorough knowledge of the various metals and their reaction to the spot welding process in order to set the electronic controls for maximum weld- ing efficiency.

Please sign below, and give address and date. iii Abstract In resistance spot welding of hot dipped galvanized steel sheet, the effect of a TiC metal matrix composite coated electrode on weldability, electrode life and degradation processes was studied. A review of the resistance spot welding process is given, followed by a literature study of the known issues when welding zinc coated steels and some of the methods explored to address those issues. Coated and uncoated Class II CuCrZr domed-flat ‘B’ nose electrodes were used to conduct welding trials. To study the weldability of the coated electrodes compared to the uncoated electrodes, both types were subjected to increasing weld current and time while monitoring resultant weld size. Overall, the coated electrodes showed an improved weldability over the uncoated electrode.
