Study and Characterization of EN AW 6181/6082-T6 and EN AC
metals Article Study and Characterization of EN AW 6181/6082-T6 and EN AC 42100-T6 Aluminum Alloy Welding of Structural Applications: Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), and Fiber Laser-MIG Hybrid Comparison Giovanna Cornacchia * and Silvia Cecchel DIMI, Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, University of Brescia, via Branze 38, 25123 Brescia, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-030-371-5827; Fax: +39-030-370-2448 Received: 18 February 2020; Accepted: 26 March 2020; Published: 27 March 2020 Abstract: The present research investigates the effects of different welding techniques, namely traditional metal inert gas (MIG), cold metal transfer (CMT), and fiber laser-MIG hybrid, on the microstructural and mechanical properties of joints between extruded EN AW 6181/6082-T6 and cast EN AC 42100-T6 aluminum alloys. 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. -

Conventional Deep Drawing Vs Incremental Deep Drawing
MED, JNTUH August 2018 CONVENTIONAL DEEP DRAWING VS INCREMENTAL DEEP DRAWING A. Chennakesava Reddy Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering JNTUH College of Engineering, Hyderabad 1. Conventional Deep Drawing Process: Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. The process is considered "deep" drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its diameter. This is achieved by redrawing the part through a series of dies. The flange region (sheet metal in the die shoulder area) experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses (hoop stresses) result in flange wrinkles (wrinkles of the first order). Wrinkles can be prevented by using a blank holder, the function of which is to facilitate controlled material flow into the die radius. Figure 1: Example of deep drawn part. Figure 2: Conventional deep drawing process. The total drawing load consists of the ideal forming load and an additional component to compensate for friction in the contacting areas of the flange region and bending forces as well as unbending forces at the die radius. The forming load is transferred from the punch radius through the drawn part wall into the deformation region (sheet metal flange). In the drawn part wall, which is in contact with the punch, the hoop strain is zero whereby the plane strain condition is reached. In reality, mostly the strain condition is only approximately plane. -

Under the Direction of Dr. Gracious Ngaile)
ABSTRACT LOWRIE, JAMES BALLANFONTE. Development of a Micro-Tube Hydroforming System. (Under the direction of Dr. Gracious Ngaile). The rising demand for small parts with complex shapes for micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) and medical applications has caused researchers to focus on metal forming as a possible way to mass produce miniature components. Studies into the miniaturization of macro-scale metal forming processes have mainly been focused in the sheet metal and extrusion fields and only a few researchers have attempted to take on the problem of miniaturizing the tube hydroforming process. The research that has been done into micro- tube hydroforming has been limited to simple expansion studies and no researchers have yet been able to combine axial feeding of the ends of the micro-tubular blank with simultaneous expansion of the tube. This has significantly reduced the complexity of the micro-parts which can be created using the tube hydroforming system. Combining material feed and expansion must be accomplished in order to create a micro-tube hydroforming process which is capable of producing metallic components with complex tubular geometries. The major objective of the research presented in this thesis is the development of a micro- tube hydroforming system which is capable supplying both axial feed and expansion to the tube simultaneously. This was accomplished by first breaking down the concepts of the conventional hydroforming tooling so that they could be analyzed for problems when being scaled down. Once the problems with the conventional tooling and the basic needs of the hydroforming system were established, the information was used to develop a new form a hydroforming tooling, called floating die tooling, which could apply both material feed and expansion to tubular blanks. -
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). -

What Are the Best Ways to Restore Surfaces of Machine Parts?
What are the best ways to restore surfaces of machine parts? There are several, each with its advantages and its limitations Richard L. Nailen, PE., EA Engineering Editor S ANY MACHINIST KNOWS, cutting metal off a workpiece can be a great deal easier than putting it back on. Unfortunately, corrosion, wear, or overstress A can require restoration of a damaged area to original dimensions by adding a layer of new material. A bearing chamber I.D., bracket fit, or shaft journal can be brought back to original dimensions and acceptable surface finish (and sometimes even improved) by several methods. Which method is best? That depends. ... One of those methods is welding. It's readily useable either on a job site or in the service shop. Welding is easily localised; work is confined to the surface involved. Several welding processes are possible. One of the greatest advantages is that successive weld beads can quickly build up considerable thickness; an eighth or even a quarter inch is easily obtainable. Adhesion of the added material to the base metal is excellent. A properly applied weld is at least as strong as the substrate. On the other hand, the variety of metals that can be deposited is quite limited. A greater drawback is the amount of heat developed. With many parts, such as steel shafting, the almost unavoidable result is warpage. Not only is finish machining always needed to clean up a welded shaft journal or bearing fit surface to its final dimension, it may be needed elsewhere on the part to restore Figure 1.
