With the increasing demand for safety, energy saving and emission reduction, Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) have become very attractive steels for automobile makers. The usage of AHSS steels is projected to grow significantly in the next 5–10 years with new safety and fuel economy regulations. These new steels have significant manufacturing challenges, particularly for welding and stamping. Welding of AHSS remains one of the technical challenges in the successful application of AHSS in automobile structures due to heat-affected zone (HAZ) at the weld joint. In this study Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of a lap joint configuration consisting of 1.5 mm uncoated DP780 to itself was investigated. The objective of the study was to understand the wire feed rate (WFR) and torch (or robot) speed (TS) influence on lap joint tensile strength (static and fatigue). A two factor, two level, full factorial design of experiment (DOE) was conducted to understand the wire feed and torch speed influence on tensile and fatigue strength of the welded joints. In order to understand the curvature effect, center point was also considered in the experiment. Based on the statistical analysis both factors are significant on static tensile strength and two way interaction between wire feed rate and torch speed was also significant on static tensile strength. Wire feed rate was the common significant factor on all three fatigue load conditions (1200 lbf, 1500 lbf and 1900 lbf). Metallurgical properties of the lap joints were evaluated using optical microscopy. Significant hardness drop of 25% was observed at the HAZ. To understand the influence of weld parameters and weld geometry on mechanical properties, correlation analysis was conducted among weld heat input parameters, weld geometry and mechanical properties (both static and fatigue loads).

Semi-automatic and automatic pulsed gas metal arc welding (GMAW) of aluminium alloy 5083 with ER5356 filler wire causes considerable softening in the weld. The tensile strength of dressed automatic welds approaches that of the base metal, but the stress concentration caused by the weld toe in undressed semi-automatic welds reduced the tensile strength significantly. Fully automatic welds displayed improved fatigue properties compared to semi-automatic welds.

The steel wall measuring 120 mm in length and 210 mm in height was manufactured by wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) using ER347 wire and gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The mechanical integrity and microstructure of the WAAM treated plate were examined. It was found that the steel plate was well formed, no clear boundaries between the layers were observed, and different thermal history leads to a variety of microstructures. The hardness of the WAAM-processed plate gradually varied from top to bottom and was between 203.5 HV and 248.2 HV. Microstructure of WAAM 347 consists of columnar dendrites and equiaxed dendrite in the multilayer deposition. The percent volume fraction of delta ferrite in the as-deposited WAAM plate was 4.2 and the predicted ferrite number from WRC-1992 diagram is 4.1. The mechanical properties of the welded parts were anisotropic; the sample at 45° orientation has a higher tensile strength compared to 0° and 90° orientation samples. The fractured tensile specimens in the as-deposited state were characterized by dimple-like structures revealing the ductile fracture. SEM line mapping confirms the presence of intermetallic compounds (NbC) in the WAAM 347 plate.

The purpose of this study was to find out the tensile strength of GMAW welded carbon steel with electric current variation and wire feed rate. The research method used was experimental research with electric current variation of 120 A, 140 A, and 160 A and variation of wire feed rate 4 m/min and 5 m/min. The tensile strength test of sample was done by ASTM E8 / E8M-09 test standard. The result showed that the electric current variation and wire feed rate in welding of carbon steel with GMAW welding gave effect on the value of tensile strength which was varied. The electric current of 120 A and the wire feed rate of 4 m/min obtained the highest tensile strength of 52.67 kgf/mm2 and welding with electric current of 120 A and wire feed rate of 5 m/min obtained the lowest tensile strength of 48.33 kgf/mm2.
