Electrode wire diameter, welding current, electrode wire feed rate, arc length are influential processparameters for hardness, depth of heat affected zone and microstructure of weldment in case of MIG weldingprocess. In this work, the effect of these process parameters on weldment characteristics had been studied.Experiments were conducted using bead-on surface of medium carbon steel plate in a semi-automatic MIGwelding machine. Hardness, depth of heat affected zone and microstructure of weldment were examined. Anartificial neural network (ANN) based modeling of the experiments had been successfully done to realize thepatterns of results obtained from the experiments. It had been observed that the microstructures obtained inthese weldments were distinctly different from that of the base metal. Microstructures, hardness and depth ofheat affected zone of weldment depends on the process parameters. ANN model shows good agreement with theexperimental results in case of hardness and depth of heat affected zone of weldment.

Isothermal tensile test of medium carbon steel material was conducted on a computer controlled servo-hydraulic testing machine at the deformation temperatures (923 to 1223 K) and the strain rates (0.05 to 1.0 s-1). Using the experimental data, the artificial neural network (ANN) model with a back-propagation (BP) algorithm was proposed to predict the hot deformation behavior of medium carbon steel material. For the model training and testing purpose, deformation temperature, strain rate and strain data were considered as inputs and in addition, the flow stress data were used a targets. Before running the neural network, the test data were normalized to effectively run the problem and after solving the problem, the obtained results were again converted in order to achieve the actual data. According to the predicted results, the coefficient of determination (R2) and the average absolute relative error between the predicted flow stress and the experimental data were determined as 0.997 and 0.913%, respectively. In addition, by evaluating each test conditions, it was found that the average absolute relative error based on an ANN model varied from 0.55% to 1.36% and moreover, the results showed the better predictability compared with the measured data. Overall, the trained BP-ANN model is found to be much more efficient and accurate by means of flow stress prediction with respect to the experimental data for an entire tested conditions.

ABSTRACTChanges in microstructure due to phase transformation are measured for a number of laser-hardening treatments in both an Nb-microalloyed and a medium carbon steel. These measurements are correlated with theoretical predictions of laser thermal cycles and good agreement is obtained. The kinetics of the ferritic/pearlitic→austenite transformation are also discussed.

Spot Diameter

Spot welding involves the joining of two or more plate metals in localized areas where melting and jointure of a little volume of fabric happens from heating caused by resistance to the passage of an electrical current. This process is typically used for obtaining a lap joint of plate metal parts. In this work, stainless steels and medium carbon steel were used. Three rules for welding set-up, lowest tap on the fastening electrical device, highest % current setting on the weld management and shortest weld time setting on the weld management were adopted. Experiments conducted to show the effect of these variables on the welding diameter and tensile strength for each sample for medium carbon steel and stainless steel separately and joining both metals together by spot welding. The results show that the utmost durability was at stainless steel specimens and minimum tensile strength was at medium carbon steel specimens. Furthermore, the obtained results showed that the maximum heat generated was at stainless steel specimens and minimum heat generated values was at medium carbon steel specimens for all current dependent in this work. Meanwhile, slight effect of heat generated on the spot diameter for the current of 10.6 & 5.3 kA, and so significant effect on the spot diameter for the last current (2.3kA).

Welding is an important process commonly used to join the different materials together. There are many methods for welding process;therefore, the specifications of weldments will depend on the type of welding process. In this study, investigation of the effect of electrical current on the weldment mechanical propertieswas conducted. Medium carbon steel & stainless steel were welded using two types of joints (single Lap joint and single v-groove Butt joint). The results showedthat the temperature increased with increasing the electrical current. A significant effect of electrical current on the ultimate tensile strength of the weldments is obtaineddepending on the joint type rather than welding type.Furthermore, there was a noticeable effect for the joining method on the heat generated.The heat generated increases with increasing the electrical current for all weldments (lap & butt) joint in both TIG & MIG welding process. However,the amount of heat generated was for TIG welding process specimens higher than from MIG welding process specimens for Butt and Lap type joints.

One of ways to improve properties of materials without changing the product shape toobtain the desired engineering applications is heating and cooling under effect of controlledsequence of heat treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofheating and cooling on the surface roughness, microstructure and some selected propertiessuch as the hardness and impact strength of Medium Carbon Steel which treated at differenttypes of heat treatment processes. Heat treatment achieved in this work was respectively,heating, quenching and tempering. The specimens were heated to 850°C and left for 45minutes inside the furnace as a holding time at that temperature, then quenching process wasperformed in four types of quenching media (still air, cold water (2°C), oil and polymersolution), respectively. Thereafter, the samples were tempered at 200°C, 400°C, and 600°Cwith one hour as a soaking time for each temperature, then were all cooled by still air. Whenthe heat treatment process was completed, the surface roughness, hardness, impact strengthand microstructure tests were performed. The results showed a change and clearimprovement of surface roughness, mechanical properties and microstructure afterquenching was achieved, as well as the change that took place due to the increasingtoughness and ductility by reducing of brittleness of samples.
