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.

Effect of Heat Input on Porosity Defects in a Fiber Laser Welded Socket-Joint Made of Powder Metallurgy Molybdenum Alloy
摘要： Porosity defects are still a challenging issue in the fusion welding of molybdenum and its alloys due to the pre-existing interior defects associated with the powder metallurgy process. Fiber laser welding of end plug and cladding tube made of nanostructured high-strength molybdenum (NS-Mo) alloy was performed in this work with an emphasis on the role of welding heat input. The distribution and morphology of porosity defects in the welded joints were examined by computed tomography (CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Preliminary results showed that laser welding of NS-Mo under low heat input significantly reduced the porosity defects in the fusion zone. The results of computed tomography (CT) showed that when the welding heat input decreased from 3600 J/cm (i.e., 1200 W, 0.2 m/min) to 250 J/cm (i.e., 2500 W, 6 m/min), the porosity ratio of the NS-Mo joints declined from 10.7% to 2.1%. Notable porosity defects under high heat input were related to the instability of the keyhole, expansion and the merging of bubbles in the molten pool, among which the instability of the keyhole played the dominant role. The porous defects at low heat input were generated as bubbles released from the powder metallurgy base metal (BM) did not have enough time to overflow and escape.

Effects of Power Modulation, Multipass Remelting and Zr Addition Upon Porosity Defects in Laser Seal Welding of End Plug to Thin-Walled Molybdenum Alloy
摘要： Aiming to solve the serious porosity defects in laser welded girth joints of thin-walled tube and end plug made of nano-sized Ce2O3 doped Mo alloy (NC-Mo), the influences of laser power modulation, multipass remelting and zirconium (Zr) addition on the number, size and distribution of porosity defects were experimentally studied. By utilizing X-ray computed tomography (XCT), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman spectrum (RS), the porosity feature of welded joints achieved under various conditions was analyzed. The results showed that welding cycles had a significant influence on the porosity ratio of fusion zone (FZ) while the amplitude and frequency of laser power waveform slightly influenced the porosity. When the welding cycles increased from 2 to 8, the porosity ratio of FZ decreased from about 1.00% to about 0.48% and the maximum and average pore diameters reduced by about 53% and 27%, respectively. Adding minor Zr in molten pool can further reduce the RP of FZ to about 0.35%. Through analysis, it can be seen that the pores in FZ can be divided into irregularly-shaped keyhole-induced pores and spherical metallurgy-induced pores. The latter was generated possibly because some impurity elements (including O and H) pre-existing in base metal (BM). Increasing welding cycles can promote the gas in molten pool to float and outflow, thus significantly decreasing the porosity. Moreover, Zr added in molten pool can be preferentially reacted with O to generate ZrO2, which can inhibit the precipitation of volatile MoO2 to thus suppress the generation of metallurgy-induced pores.

Fiber laser spot welding of molybdenum alloy in a hyperbaric environment
摘要： The e?ect of the growth of ambient pressures on the penetration of laser welded molybdenum (Mo) alloy was explored. It was found that when ambient pressure rose from 0.1 MPa to 1.8 MPa, the penetration of base metal (BM) was signi?cantly reduced, which was only 17% of that obtained under ambient pressure of 0.1 MPa. Moreover, the mechanism underlying the signi?cant reduction of the penetration of BM was analyzed. At ?rst, by using a high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM), the size and the number of nano-sized metallic particles generated during laser welding under di?erent ambient pressures were surveyed. Furthermore, the scattering and absorption of the nano-sized metallic particles for laser energy under di?erent ambient pressures were investigated; afterwards, by applying a high-speed camera and a spectrometer, the transient behaviors and spectral signals of plasmas during ?ber laser spot welding under di?erent ambient pressures were monitored. On this basis, the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption of plasmas for laser energy under di?erent ambient pressures was explored; ?nally, ?ber laser spot welding test was carried out on glass/metal composite samples under di?erent ambient pressures to survey the in?uence of the change of ambient pressure on dynamic behaviors of the molten pool during the welding.
