The repair welding of aluminium alloy 6082T6 with two fillers 4043 and 5356 were studied by using MIG welding process with pulse current at frequency 5 Hz. After that, macrostructure and microstructure were investigated and the density of porosity and testing of mechanical properties were determined. The results found that the density of new weld was less than repair weld. The results of mechanical tests showed that the new weld were better than the repair weld.

Abstract In the automotive industry, metal inert gas (MIG) of welding technology is widely used for automotive muffler fabrication. However, the muffler is distorted by thermal deformation during the welding process. In this paper, the prediction of MIG welding-induced deformation and residual stress are simulated by SYSWELD software. The cross-section shapes of the molten pool predicted by the numerical analysis are compared to the experimental results. In the results of the stress, while compressive stresses are produced in regions away from the weld, high tensile stresses are produced in regions near the weld. Deformation values are calculated as 2.5 mm. The location of the actual welding deformation was similar to the experimental results. Based on the results, the methods to optimize the welding procedure will be provided by SYSWELD to improve muffler productivity. Highlights The prediction of MIG welding-induced deformation and residual stress are simulated by SYSWELD software. The cross-section shapes of the molten pool predicted by the numerical analysis are compared to the experimental results. The location of the actual welding deformation are similar to the experimental results. Based on the results, the methods will be provided by SYSWELD to improve muffler productivity.

The Impact

The stress and motion state of droplet in MIG welding with alternating longitudinal magnetic field were analyzed, and the impact of alternating longitudinal magnetic field on the droplet transfer were studied by high-speed video camera. The results show that the droplet is spherical approximately and transfer to molten pool along the welding wire axis without external longitudinal magnetic field. When alternating longitudinal magnetic field was introduced into welding process, the droplet rotate around the welding wire clockwise and counter-clockwise alternately. Shape of droplet became flat and direction of transfer deviated from the welding wire axis under the action of magnetic field. As the exciting current increased, extent of deviation from the wire axis increases. When the exciting current is too large (I >20A), extent of deviation is too large and droplet are disintegrated into several small droplet during the transition. So droplet can not transfer into molten pool successfully and the bead can’t be formed.

Laser Welding Process

Configuration of a molten pool is related to the laser welding quality. Analyzing the configuration of a molten pool is important to monitor the laser welding process. This paper proposes a method of segmentation of a molten pool and its shadow during high power disk laser welding, consequently provides the groundwork for reconstruction of the molten pool and analysis of welding quality. Subsection linear stretching histogram equalization was applied to enhance the contrast of the original images firstly, and then edge detection was used to highlight the edges. After that we used the morphology filtering method to produce the segmentation mask, and then combined the mask with the original images to get the final segmentation results. Also, the proposed method was compared with other traditional methods. The experimental results showed that our method not only could give better segmentation results and process large quantities images automatically, but also overcame the less-segmentation problems of traditional methods.

Simulation software based on a finite element method have significantly changed the possibilities of determining welding strains and stresses at early stages of product design and welding technology development. But the numerical simulation of welding processes is one of the more complicated issues in analyses carried out using the Finite Element Method. A welding process thermal cycle directly affects the thermal and mechanical behaviour of a structure during the process. High temperature and subsequent cooling of welded elements generate undesirable strains and stresses in the structure. Knowledge about the material behaviour subjected to the welding thermal cycle is most important to understand process phenomena and proper steering of the process. The study presented involved the SYSWELD software-based analysis of MIG welded butt joints made of 1.0 mm thickness, 5xxx series aluminium alloy sheets. The analysis of strains and the distribution of stresses were carried out for several different cases of fixing and releasing of welded elements.

Friction Stir Welding, abbreviated FSW is a new and innovative welding process. This welding process is increasingly required, more than traditional arc welding, in industrial environment such us: aeronautics, shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, railways, general fabrication, nuclear, military, robotics and computers. FSW, more than traditional arc welding, have a lot of advantages, such us the following: it uses a non-consumable tool, realise the welding process without melting the workpiece material, can be realised in all positions (no weld pool), results of good mechanical properties, can use dissimilar materials and have a low environmental impact. This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of friction stir welding joints to three dissimilar aluminium alloy AA2024, AA6061 and AA7075. For experimenting the value of the input process parameters, the rotation speed and advancing speed were kept the same and the position of plates was variable. The exit date recorded in the time of process and after this, will be compared between them and the influence of position of plate will be identified on the welding seams properties and the best position of plates for this process parameters and materials.
