Friction Welding for Cladding Applications: Processing, Microstructure FRICTION WELDING FOR CLADDING APPLICATIONS: PROCESSING, MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INERTIA FRICTION WELDS OF STAINLESS STEEL TO LOW CARBON STEEL AND EVALUATION OF WROUGHT AND WELDED AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEELS FOR CLADDING APPLICATIONS IN ACID- CHLORIDE SERVICE by Nathan Switzner Copyright by Nathan Switzner 2017 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering).

Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering ii ABSTRACT Friction welding, a solid-state joining method, is presented as a novel alternative process step for lining mild steel pipe and forged components internally with a corrosion resistant (CR) metal alloy for petrochemical applications. Currently, fusion welding is commonly used for stainless steel overlay cladding, but this method is costly, time-consuming, and can lead to disbonding in service due to a hard martensite layer that forms at the interface due to partial mixing at the interface between the stainless steel CR metal and the mild steel base. Firstly, the process parameter space was explored for inertia friction butt welding using AISI type 304L stainless steel and AISI 1018 steel to determine the microstructure and mechanical properties effects. A conceptual model for heat flux density versus radial location at the faying surface was developed with consideration for non-uniform pressure distribution due to frictional forces. An existing 1-D analytical model for longitudinal transient temperature distribution was modified for the dissimilar metals case and to account for material lost to the flash. Microstructural results from the experimental dissimilar friction welds of 304L stainless steel to 1018 steel were used to discuss model validity. Secondly, the microstructure and mechanical property implications were considered for replacing the current fusion weld cladding processes with friction welding. The nominal friction weld exhibited a smaller heat softened zone in the 1018 steel than the fusion cladding. As determined by longitudinal tensile tests across the bond line, the nominal friction weld had higher strength, but lower apparent ductility, than the fusion welds due to the geometric requirements for neck formation adjacent to a rigid interface. Martensite was identified at the dissimilar friction weld interface, but the thickness was smaller than that of the fusion welds, and the morphology was discontinuous due to formation by a mechanism of solid-state mixing. Thirdly, the corrosion resistance of multiple austenitic stainless steels (types 304, 316, and 309) processed in varying ways was compared for acid chloride environments using advanced electrochemical techniques. Physical simulation of fusion claddings and friction weld claddings (wrought stainless steels) was used for sample preparation to determine compositional and microstructural effects. Pitting resistance correlated firstly with Cr content, with N and Mo additions providing additional benefits. The high ferrite fraction of as-welded samples reduced their corrosion resistance. Wrought type 309L outperformed as- welded type 309L in dissolved mass loss and reverse corrosion rate from the potentiodynamic scan in 1.0 N HCl/3.5% NaCl solution. Electrochemical impedance results indicated that wrought 309L and 316L developed a corrosion resistant passive film more rapidly than other alloys in 0.1 N HCl/3.5% NaCl, and also performed well in long term (160-day) corrosion testing in the same environment. Fourthly, to prove the concept of internal CR lining by friction welding, a conical workpiece of 304L stainless steel was friction welded internally to 1018 steel. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

  • Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium Alloy AA5754 to Steel DX54
    Aalto University School of Engineering Department of Engineering Design and Production Hao Wang Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium Al- loy AA5754 to Steel DX54: Lap Joints with Conventional and New Solu- tion Thesis submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo, October 27, 2015 Supervisor: Prof. Pedro Vila¸ca Advisors: Tatiana Minav Ph.D. Aalto University School of Engineering ABSTRACT OF Department of Engineering Design and Production MASTER'S THESIS Author: Hao Wang Title: Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium Alloy AA5754 to Steel DX54: Lap Joints with Conventional and New Solution Date: October 27, 2015 Pages: 100 Major: Mechanical Engineering Code: IA3027 Supervisor: Professor Pedro Vila¸ca Advisors: Tatiana Minav Ph.D. The demand for joining of aluminum to steel is increasing in the automotive industry. There are solutions based on Friction Stir Welding (FSW) implemented to join these two dissimilar metals but these have not yet resulted in a reliable joint for the automotive industrial applications. The main reason is the brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) that are prone to form in the weld region. The objective of this thesis was to develop and test an innovative overlap joint concept, which may improve the quality of the FSW between aluminum alloy AA5754-H22 (2 mm) and steel DX54 (1.5 mm) for automotive applications. The innovative overlap joint concept consists of an interface with a wave shape produced on the steel side. The protrusion part of the shape will be directly processed by the tip of the probe with the intention of improving the mechanical resistance of the joint due to localized heat generation, extensive chemically active surfaces and extra mechanical interlocking.

  • Work Hardening and Annealing of Copper
    Work Hardening and Annealing of Copper Thomas Stoebe University of Washington Seattle, WA [email protected] Copyright Edmonds Community College 2007; Permission granted for use and reproduction for educational purposes only. Abstract: This experiment demonstrates the process of work hardening in a copper, that is, hardening the metal by deformation. If an appropriate furnace is available, it also demonstrates the softening process of annealing. Copper wire or tubing is quite soft in its initial state, allowing for a variety of uses where the tubing needs to be bent to a desired shape. Upon bending, the copper hardens due to work hardening (also called strain hardening). Enough bending will make it impossible to return it to its original shape. However, annealing at a high enough temperature causes new, strain-free material to form and the copper will return to its original soft condition. Objectives: Students will be able to Experience the process of work hardening Explain the effects of work hardening in metals Experience property changes affected by annealing MatEd core competencies addressed (most important in bold): 4A Demonstrate effective work with teams 7A Illustrate the general nature of metals 8B Apply mechanical testing processes to solid materials 16A Distinguish effects of processing on materials properties Key words: copper, work hardening, annealing, properties Type of Module: Demonstration with class participation or lab experiment Time required: 5 to 10 minutes for deformation and discussion 30 min. for annealing, 10 min for cooling 5 to 10 minutes for deformation of the annealed specimens Target Grade Levels: Grades 4 and up will appreciate the experiment as a demonstration.

  • In-Situ Measurement and Numerical Simulation of Linear
    IN-SITU MEASUREMENT AND NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF LINEAR FRICTION WELDING OF Ti-6Al-4V Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kaiwen Zhang Graduate Program in Welding Engineering The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Dr. Wei Zhang, advisor Dr. David H. Phillips Dr. Avraham Benatar Dr. Vadim Utkin Copyrighted by Kaiwen Zhang 2020 1 Abstract Traditional fusion welding of advanced structural alloys typically involves several concerns associated with melting and solidification. For example, defects from molten metal solidification may act as crack initiation sites. Segregation of alloying elements during solidification may change weld metal’s local chemistry, making it prone to corrosion. Moreover, the high heat input required to generate the molten weld pool can introduce distortion on cooling. Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process which can produce high-integrity welds between either similar or dissimilar materials, while eliminating solidification defects and reducing distortion. Currently the linear friction welding process is most widely used in the aerospace industry for the fabrication of integrated compressor blades to disks (BLISKs) made of titanium alloys. In addition, there is an interest in applying LFW to manufacture low-cost titanium alloy hardware in other applications. In particular, LFW has been shown capable of producing net-shape titanium pre-forms, which could lead to significant cost reduction in machining and raw material usage. Applications of LFW beyond manufacturing of BLISKs are still limited as developing and quantifying robust processing parameters for high-quality joints can be costly and time consuming.

To develop welded structures for aerospace applications, particularly under critical loading, an understanding of the fatigue behavior is crucial, but remains limited, especially for solid-state technologies such as linear friction welding (LFW). This paper presents the fatigue behavior of dissimilar titanium alloys, Ti–6Al–4V (Ti64) and Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–2Mo–0.1Si (Ti6242), joined by LFW with the aim of characterizing the stress versus number of cycles to failure (S-N) curves in both the low- and high-cycle fatigue regimes. Prior to fatigue testing, metallurgical characterization of the dissimilar alloy welds indicated softening in the heat-affected zone due to the retention of metastable β, and the typical practice of stress relief annealing (SRA) for alleviating the residual stresses was effective also in transforming the metastable β α β to equilibrated levels of + phases and recovering the hardness.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS FRICTION STIR PROCESSING OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS Friction stir processing (FSP) is one of the new and promising thermomechanical processing techniques that alters the microstructural and mechanical properties of the material in single pass to achieve maximum performance with low production cost in less time using a simple and inexpensive tool. Preliminary studies of different FS processed alloys report the processed zone to contain fine grained, homogeneous and equiaxed microstructure. Several studies have been conducted to optimize the process and relate various process parameters like rotational and translational speeds to resulting microstructure. But there is only a little data reported on the effect of the process parameters on the forces generated during processing, and the resulting microstructure of aluminum alloys especially AA5052 which is a potential superplastic alloy. In the present work, sheets of aluminum alloys were friction stir processed under various combinations of rotational and translational speeds.
