Enhancement of weld strength of laser-welded joints of AA6061-T6 and TZM alloys via novel dual-laser warm laser shock peening
摘要： In this paper, an experimental study is presented on an investigation to improve the weld strength of laser-welded joints via post-processing by warm laser shock peening (wLSP). A dual-laser setup was utilized to simultaneously heat the sample to a prescribed temperature and to perform the wLSP process on the laser-welded joints of AA6061-T6 and TZM alloys. Joints in overlap and bead-on-plate configurations were created by laser welding by a high-power fiber laser and post-processed with wLSP. The tensile tests carried out on wLSP-processed AA6061-T6 samples demonstrate an enhancement in the strength by about 20% over as-welded samples and the ductility of samples processed by wLSP improved by 30% over as-welded samples. The bead-on-plate (BOP) welds of TZM alloy processed with wLSP demonstrated an enhancement in strength by about 30% and the lap welds processed with wLSP demonstrated an increase in the joint strength by 22%. Finite element analysis revealed that the depth and magnitude of compressive stresses imparted by wLSP were greater than room temperature laser shock peening (rtLSP), which contributed to the enhancement of the joint strength for processed samples.

Welding of Dissimilar Steel/Al Joints Using Dual-Beam Lasers with Side-by-Side Configuration
摘要： Welding of dissimilar steel/Al lapped joints of 1.5 mm in thickness was carried out by using dual-beam laser welding with side-by-side configuration. The effect of the major process parameters including the dual-beam power ratio of (Rs) and dual-beam distance (d1) on the steel/Al joint characteristics was investigated concerning the weld shape, interface microstructures, tensile resistance and fracture behavior. The results show that dual-beam laser welding with side-by-side configuration produces soundly welded steel/Al lapped joints free of welding defects. The processing parameters of Rs and d1 have a great influence on the weld appearance, the weld penetration in the Al alloy side (P2) and the welding defects. Variation in the depth of the P2 and the locations at the Al/weld interface cause heterogeneous microstructures in the morphology and the thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layers. In addition, electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) phase mapping reveals that the IMC layer microstructures formed at the Al/weld interface include the needle-like θ-Fe4Al13 phases and compact lath η-Fe2Al5 layers. Some very fine θ-Fe4Al13 and η-Fe2Al5 phases generated along the weld grain boundaries of the steel/Al joints are also confirmed. Finally, there is a matching relationship between the P2 and the tensile resistance of steel/Al joints, and the maximum tensile resistance of 109.2 N/mm is obtained by the steel/Al joints produced at the Rs of 1.50 during dual-beam laser welding with side-by-side configuration. Two fracture path modes have taken place depending on the P2, and relatively high resistance has been achieved for the steel/Al joints with an optimum P2.

Effect of beam wobbling on laser welding of aluminum and magnesium alloy with nickel interlayer
摘要： The influence of conventional laser keyhole welding and beam wobbling was evaluated at two weld travel speeds and power settings. Fracture in linear lap welds would occur during specimen preparation due to the presence of Al-rich brittle fusion zone, unless one utilizes a circular laser wobbling path (at 1000 Hz). Wobbling provided better integrity due to the presence of a Mg-rich ductile fusion zone and a larger bonded width. It can be concluded that laser beam wobbling enhances joint quality by widening the joint area and mitigating formation of brittle secondary phases at the joint fusion zone.

Vibration parameters optimum of 316L steel laser welding under high frequency micro-vibration condition
摘要： High frequency micro vibration combined with laser was applied in the laser welding process parameters were chosen by comparison of weld geometry. In detail, laser power(P) is 2.5kW, welding speed(V) is 1.2m / min, defocusing amount(DA) is -5mm. Three parameters including frequency(F), vibration acceleration(A) and angle(θ) were changed according to the orthogonal test scheme. The microstructure and the tensile properties of the welded joint were compared and analyzed. The morphology of weld tail was analyzed to describe hole stability. It was found that micro-structure and mechanical of joint was significantly influenced by A and F. In the case of vibration resonance, the higher the F, the better the ultimate tensile strength(UTS), and the higher the hardness. When F was 1360 Hz, UTS was 602 MPa. When A was increased from 10 to 60 m/s2, the UTS was improved by 10 MPa. HW and HL were even disappeared in a higher resonance state. Response surface analysis results showed that factors of F and A have significant effects on the width of weld. Width was increased by higher resonance state. It was obtained that optimum process parameters were F=1360 Hz, A= 60 m/s2 and θ = 90°. UTS was 602MPa, hardness was 214.5 Hv, and elongation was 40%. This is mainly due to the grain refinement strengthening.

Numerical and experimental study on keyhole and melt flow dynamics during laser welding of aluminium alloys under subatmospheric pressures
摘要： Porosity defects was highly related to the keyhole and melt flow dynamic during laser welding process. In this paper, a novel 3D numerical model was developed to describe the keyhole dynamic and melt flow behaviors during laser welding of 5A06 aluminium alloy under subatmospheric pressures. The effect of ambient pressure on laser welding process was taken into consideration by optimizing the boiling point of aluminium alloy and recoil pressure of evaporated metallic vapor jets based on vapor–liquid equilibria calculation and Wilson equation. A moving hybrid heat source model was employed to describe the laser energy distribution under subatmospheric pressures. Numerical results indicated that a wider and deeper keyhole with less humps was produced under subatmospheric pressure comparing with that of atmospheric pressure. The vortices in the rear keyhole wall became unapparent or even disappeared with the decrease of ambient pressures. The melt flow velocity on the keyhole wall was larger under a lower pressure. A smaller difference between boiling point and melting point was produced and this led to the formation of a thinner keyhole wall and improved the stability of molten pool. Larger recoil pressure produced under subatmospheric pressure was responsible for the weakened vortices and enhanced melt flow velocity. Bigger keyhole opening size, larger melt flow velocity, thinner keyhole and the weakened vortices all resulted into the reduction of porosity defects during laser welding of aluminium alloys. Based on the simulation results, the plasma distribution, weld formation and porosity defects had been demonstrated. The compared results showed that the simulation results exhibited good agreements with the experimental ones.

Dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in high power fiber laser welding of stainless steel
摘要： A three-dimensional numerical model, considering the real-time multiple reflections of a laser beam, adiabatic bubble model and shear stress, was developed to study the dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in fiber laser welding of stainless steel. The inner dynamic keyhole behavior and weld defect formation were directly observed in a high resolution assisted by transparent glass. The numerical and experimental results showed that the keyhole width reached the quasi-steady state earlier than the keyhole depth did during fiber laser welding of stainless steel. Due to the large recoil pressure at rear keyhole wall caused by the irradiation of laser energy reflected by the bulge at the front keyhole wall, the rear keyhole wall was severely deformed at keyhole bottom and keyhole middle. The rear keyhole wall was collapsed due to the high surface tension pressure and hydrostatic pressure. The whole keyhole collapse was attributable to the capillary instability of the keyhole associated with large depth/width ratio and the strong flow of the bulges at the keyhole wall. When the laser power was increased, the keyhole depth/width ratio was increased, so the keyhole was more capillary instable. The average inclined angle of the front keyhole wall was decreased.

[Communications in Computer and Information Science] Data Mining Volume 996 (16th Australasian Conference, AusDM 2018, Bahrurst, NSW, Australia, November 28–30, 2018, Revised Selected Papers) || Effect of Nickel Foil Thickness on Microstructure and Microhardness of Steel/Aluminium Alloy Dissimilar Laser Welding Joints
摘要： Laser lap welding between DP980 steel and 6061 aluminum alloy was carried out using IPG YLS-6000 fiber laser, nickel foil with different thickness (0.10, 0.20 and 0.30 mm) was used as interlayer. The microstructure was observed by SEM, EDS was used to determine the distribution of elements and intermetallic compounds types, and the hardness was determined by HV1000IS. The results showed that the microstructure in weld seam (WS) and fusion line (FL) of welded joint without nickel foil was d ferrite and lath martensite (LM). For welded joints with nickel interlayer, the d ! c phase transition was promoted by nickel elements. Thus, with the thickness of the nickel foil increased, the content of nickel elements in weld pool increased, resulting in decrease of d ferrite content in WS and FL. Meanwhile, the microstructure in WS and FL was full LM when the thickness of the nickel foil was 0.30 mm. Meanwhile, the NixAly IMC was found in interface, which inhibited Fe–Al metallurgical reaction and reduced the thickness of Fe–Al IMC. Therefore, with nickel foil thickness increased, the content of nickel elements and the NixAly IMC increased. Moreover, the maximum thickness of the IMC layer was able to reduce to 10.66 when the thickness of the nickel foil was 0.10 mm. With the reduction of d ferrite content in WS and FL, the microhardness in WS increased with the thickness of the nickel foil increased. However, because the NixAly IMC was a soft phase, the microhardness in interface decreased, significantly.

Observation of the keyhole behavior, spatter, and keyhole-induced bubble formation in laser welding of a steel/glass sandwich
摘要： Laser welding of a steel/glass sandwich is carried out to clearly observe the keyhole behavior, spatter, and keyhole-induced bubble formation. The formation mechanisms of the spatter and keyhole-induced bubble are analyzed, and the relationship between the spatter and keyhole-induced bubble formation is also discussed. There are five necessary steps for the spatter formation around the keyhole: the formation of the bulges at the keyhole wall, the decrease of the keyhole entrance size caused by the upward flow of the bulges, the formation of the melt column around the keyhole, the increasing of the melt column size, and the spatter formation around the keyhole. The decrease of the keyhole entrance size contributes to the increase of the vapor shear stress, and thus accelerates the spatter formation. The large deformation of the top rear keyhole wall decreases the vertical component of the vapor shear stress, so few spatters are formed at the rear keyhole wall. Two types of the keyhole-induced bubble are formed by the whole keyhole collapse between the front keyhole wall and rear keyhole wall, and the rear keyhole wall collapse. The influence of the keyhole-induced bubble formation on the spatter formation is not obvious.

Analysis of microstructure and mechanical strength of lap joints of TZM alloy welded by a fiber laser
摘要： The application of molybdenum alloys to structural components is severely limited due to their poor weldability with serious defects of porosity and joint embrittlement after welding despite their high melting temperature, hot strength and creep resistance. A systematical experimental study has been conducted to explore the potential of laser welding of 0.5 mm-thick Titanium-zirconium-molybdenum (TZM) alloy in a lap welding configuration. Porosity was found to be the most serious problem in the TZM laser lap welding process. Introducing an interface gap of 0.09 mm had the most positive effect in reducing the porosity compared to using helium gas, different shielding gas flow rates, adding alloy element and different heat input rate. With the use of 0.09 mm-interface gap, the porosity of the weld joint was reduced to 3%. The tensile stress of the bead on plate (BOP) welded joint could achieve about 60% that of the base metal. The fracture stress of the lap welded joint obtained by using 0.09 mm-interface gap in tensile-shear test was about 142 MPa. The porosity and embrittlement were responsible for the reduction of the strength and ductility of the welded joint.

Analysis of properties laser welded RAK 40/70 steel sheets
摘要： Both, the ecological production and operation of vehicles demand using such materials for deformation zones’ structural parts, which show some specific properties and use innovative technologies to process them. Specific requirements for functionality (strength, stiffness, deformation work, fatigue properties) are closely linked to processability (formability). In the paper are presented results for multiphase TRIP steel RAK40/70 when welded by pulse solid-state fiber laser YLS-5000. Based on microstructure analysis in the fusion zone and heat affected zone the welding parameters were optimised. The influence of laser welding on the strength and deformation properties was verified by characteristics of strength, stiffness and deformation work, as they were calculated from mechanical properties measured by tensile test and three-point bending test. The knowledge gathered in the field of laser welding influence on the strength and deformation properties of multiphase TRIP steel RAK40/70 should help designers when design the lightweight structural parts of the car body.
