Experimental and Numerical Simulation on Laser welding of High Manganese TWIP980 Steel
摘要： In this paper, the numerical simulation of laser tailoring process for the 2mm thickness TWIP980 steel sheet is carried out using Simufact welding software. The results show that the center of the laser welding heat source is small, and temperature is high. The front of the weld pool has a drop-shaped profile and a funnel-shaped cross section. The simulated weld joint has a high degree of conformity comparing to the actual weld joint. As the heat input (line energy) increases, the peak temperature of the thermal cycle and the weldment width increase. The simulated results indicate that the residual stress of the weld joint perpendicular to the weld along the surface is greater than that along the weld direction, and are both greater than the residual stress perpendicular to the weld along the thickness direction. The residual stress generated by welding is mainly concentrated in the direction perpendicular to the weld seam. With the heat input increase, the deformation after welding increases. For the studied TWIP980 steel, the recommending laser tailored blank (LTB) weld parameters are: power 3kW and welding speed 3m/min, which is the optimum welding process in the practical welding. The guiding significance of the software for laser welding simulation of TWIP980 steel was verified.

Modelling and optimization of process parameters to obtain maximum tensile strength for laser butt welding of 316L austenitic stainless steel sheets
摘要： The attribute of high power density but low energy-input in Laser welding offers exciting solutions to the commonly encountered disadvantages with conventional joining techniques. In this paper, 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel metal sheets were butt welded using Nd:YAG Laser welding system. Owing to its low cost and specific properties such as excellent toughness, higher creep, stress to rupture at elevated temperatures, 316L A.S.S finds wide range of applications in the industrial arena especially in the automobile and marine sectors. Hence, it becomes imperative to examine its post weld properties after performing laser welding and find optimized values of the parameters. The prominent process parameters like Laser Power, Travel speed and Focal length were analysed and optimised. Design of experiment statistical tool was embraced for the systematic conduct of the tests. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques were employed to identify the significant process parameters affecting the weld. An empherical relationship involving the parameters was developed to predict the ultimate tensile strength. The 3D response surface plot and contour plots were generated for this model to elucidate the interaction effect of Laser parameters (Travel speed and Focal length), (Laser Power and Focal Length) & (Laser Power and Travel Speed) on Ultimate Tensile Strength. The welded specimens cut by electric discharge machining were prepared for tensile testing as per the ASTM standard. The Universal Testing Machine was used to test the welded specimen. Microhardness Testing was also carried out on the base material and the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) using Vickers Hardness Testing machine. The tensile tested specimens were used for metallurgical analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope (S.E.M.). Specimen prepared for metallurgical analysis were sectioned, mounted, ground and polished in accordance with recommended procedures in ASTM practice E 3-11. The metallurgical observations showed the existence of undulating topography of ductile fracture surfaces. The investigations reveals that the actual values of the Ultimate tensile strength of the weld were falling close with the predicted strength obtained through the proposed model. It can be concluded that the proposed model in this work can be utilised to predict tensile strength of the weld with more precision.

Study on mechanical and metallurgical properties of fiber laser welded Nb-1% Zr-0.1% C alloy
摘要： Laser welding of Nb-1% Zr-0.1% C was attempted in butt-welding configuration using top and bottom sided inert gas shielding. The precautionary measure during welding was to limit the reactivity of niobium alloy in ambient atmosphere. The ranges of input parameters, that is, laser power (P), welding speed (V) and beam diameter (D) for full penetration welding were attempted by carrying out bead-on-plate (BOP) experiments. The selection of the combination of process parameters was such that the formed weld area could be minimized without hampering the depth of penetration. Bead-geometry, hardness and tensile strength were quantified to study the influence of input process parameters during laser welding. Base metal had an average hardness of 108 VHN and the average hardness of fusion zone (FZ) was found to lie between 278 and 546 VHN. The steeper increment in microhardness value of the FZ could be due to the grain refinement, dissolution of precipitates and formation of brittle intermetallic phases of carbide and oxides, which were evident by the result of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis. The weld joint that failed in the weld zone exhibited the brittle failure, and ductile mode was achieved in the joint, where failure occurs at base metal. The range of elongation in laser welded joints varied in between 1.97 and 5.73 mm. The reduction of tensile strength and ductility of the joints could be due to marginal enhancement of microhardness and increment of brittle phase density in fusion zone, as were evident from XRD phase analysis. The main focus of the present work was intended towards the establishment of laser welding as an alternative technique for fabrication of reactive niobium alloy in ambient atmosphere.

Finite-element inverse analysis of residual stress for laser welding based on a contour method
摘要： The thermal effect of laser welding degrades the local material properties, and this inevitably leads to thermal deformation and thermal residual stress in welded joints. In this study, the residual stress distribution of laser-welded Al–Li alloy parts was measured by a combination of the contour method and finite-element simulation. First, the contour deformation of the cutting surfaces of welded parts resulting from the release of residual stress was measured by a coordinator. Then, the reverse contour deformation was applied to the finite-element model as the displacement boundary condition to invert the full-field residual stress of the cutting surface. Furthermore, a thermal/structural sequential coupling analysis method was used to establish a complete three-dimensional finite-element model of a laser-welded plate and calculate the residual stress field, taking the actual weld morphology as the characteristic parameter of the heat source, using the improved conical heat source model of laser welding. The result is consistent with the results of the contour method.

Understanding root humping in high-power laser welding of stainless steels: a combination approach
摘要： High-power laser welding is an efficient way for joining the thick plates in the industries. However, full penetration laser welding of thick plates is prone to form weld imperfections such as undercuts, root humps, and porosity. In this paper, numerical simulation and laser welding experiments are combinedly carried out to investigate the dynamics of the keyhole and molten pool and understand the formation mechanism of root humping during full penetration fiber laser welding of thick stainless steel plates. Besides, the microstructure of the welded joint is analyzed. Good agreements are obtained between the numerical simulation and experimental results. The results indicate that recoil pressure, surface tension, and gravity are the main driving forces for the formation of root hump. The melt flow driven by the recoil pressure near the bottom of the keyhole is an initial and direct formation cause of the root hump. Welding speed is an important factor for the growth of root hump. Local solidification of the rear weld pool path is a hinder for the continuous growth of root hump and can cause a periodic root humping weld.

Analysis of back-weld spatters in laser welding of CP-Ti
摘要： The laser welding of commercial grades of pure titanium plate TA2 with 0.5 mm was taken, and the back area of the molten pool was photographed by high-speed camera. Also, the reasons of back spatters were studied. Spatters on the back side of the plate have three main types: continuous spatters, periodic spatters and no spatters. All continuous back spatters are accompanied by the appearance of keyhole, and the keyhole can be observed at the moment when periodic spatters appear. The downward shear stress applied by the downward jet of metal vapor from the keyhole is an important reason for backside spatter. Increased laser power or welding speed will increase shear force, eventually contributing to more spatters. When the defocused distance is increased to 30 mm, the keyhole is completely obscured on the back side, so there is no spatter at this time.

Effect of fiber laser welding on solute segregation and proprieties of CoCrCuFeNi high entropy alloy
摘要： The effect of fiber laser welding on solute segregation and proprieties of CoCrCuFeNi high entropy alloy was investigated. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the parent metal and the fusion zone were comparably studied. The parent metal was dendrite, with elemental Cu segregated to interdendrites owing to small bonding energies with Fe, Co, Ni, and Cr atoms. After laser welding, the microstructure in the center of the fusion zone was predominantly equiaxial grains, whereas that in the edge region was mainly columnar crystals oriented perpendicular to the fusion line. The segregation of Cu in the fusion zone is alleviated by grain refinement and molten pool agitation. Because of the fine-grain strengthening and precipitation hardening effect, the hardness and yield stress of the fusion zone are 12.84% and 26.87% greater than those of the parent metal, respectively.

To control the production quality, the industry has a great desire for defect inspection of automated laser welding. Recently, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been applied with great success for detection, recognition, and classi?cation.
