Effect of shielding gas flow on welding process of laser-arc hybrid welding and MIG welding
摘要： The influence of shielding gas on welding process of laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) and metal inert-gas welding (MIG) was investigated by the computational fluid dynamics analysis (CFD) and high-speed photography. The results show that the process stability of MIG under high gas flow rate is poorer than that of LAHW. And the force of gas flow Fg can hinder the droplet transfer, whether MIG or LAHW. But the vaporization-induced recoil force Fv in LAHW helps to reduce this kind of hindrance and keep the process stability. Next, it can be found that the shielded gas flow mode in the main welding area cannot be changed significantly by increasing the shielding gas flow rate, while high gas flow rate can increase the area of high argon concentration and benefit the spread of molten metal.

Investigation of strengthening mechanism of commercially pure titanium joints fabricated by autogenously laser beam welding and laser-MIG hybrid welding processes
摘要： In this study, in order to achieve a better understanding of the strengthening mechanism in the commercially pure (CP) Ti welds, autogenously laser beam and laser-MIG hybrid welding of 4.2 mm thick CP-Ti plates were performed and the correlation between microstructure, texture distribution and the mechanical properties were systematically investigated. Microstructural coarsening and increase in microhardness were observed in the HAZ and WZ. The tensile test results suggested the base metal was the weak point of the joint for both welding conditions. The EBSD observations confirmed that a large number of 1012 and 1122 twin grains occurred in the HAZ and WZ of both welded joints, while a higher concentration of these twin grains were found in the laser-MIG hybrid joints. High concentration of the twin grain boundaries can act as barrier to stop dislocation slip during deformation and therefore contribute to the strengthening of the welds. The existence of very small twin grains and acicular α phase in HAZ and WZ would equivalently reduce the averaged grain size and therefore induce an increase in strength based on Hall-Petch’s law. In addition, the averaged Schmid factor of BM is higher than that of the WZ and HAZ in both welding joints suggesting that the grain boundary sliding will take place preferably in BM during deformation so that the necking and fracture occurred in base metal during tensile tests of both welding joint specimens.

Butt welding-brazing of steel to aluminum by hybrid laser-CMT
摘要： A laser penetration welding-brazing combined with Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) arc, was proposed to improve weld shape and interfacial reaction inhomogeneity of 5052 aluminum alloy and Q235 low carbon steel with ER5356 welding wire in butt joint. The effects of wire feed speed, beam offset and welding speed on weld shape, interfacial microstructures and tensile strength of joints was studied. This method improved the undercut defect existed in butt laser welding-brazing, obtained well-formed joints and promoted the uniform distribution of the interface reaction. The interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer consisted of Fe2Al5 and Fe4Al13 and the thicknesses were controlled to 3-5 μm. Microstructures of weld seam was composed of α-Al and Al3Mg2. The brittle IMCs layer thickened and then the tensile strength decreased with increasing the wire feed speed. The thickness of the IMCs layer decreased but weld shape became worse when the welding speed or the offset increased. The tensile strength increased first and then decreased. The highest tensile strength reached higher than 80 MPa and the joint fractured in IMCs layer along the interface.

Laser cooling arc plasma effect in laser-arc hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel
摘要： Current laser-plasma interaction theory supports that the plasma energy e.g. electron temperature would increase by the effect of inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) absorption, when a laser beam passed through the plasma. However, in this paper, we found an interesting laser cooling arc plasma effect (LCAPE) during kilo-Watt fiber laser-TIG hybrid welding. Based on theoretical modelling and experiments, we observed that a temperature decrease of more than 5000 K at the tail of the argon plasma occurred under different process parameters during hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel. We proposed the LCAPE is caused by the laser-induced metal vapor. The mechanism mainly includes the convection cooling and enhanced radiation of the arc plasma by the metal vapor. Our findings could broaden the theory of laser-plasma interaction and provide a theoretical reference to the modulation and control of plasma in industries.

A comparison between induction pre-heating and induction post-heating of laser-induction hybrid welding on S690QL steel
摘要： In this paper, the di?erences of microstructure and performance of S690QL steel between induction pre-heating laser-induction hybrid welding (LIHW) and post-heating LIHW were compared via scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electrical back-scattered di?raction (EBSD), and mechanical machines. The t8/5 values of both pre-heating and post-heating LIHW joints were shown to increase with inductor output power increasing from 60% to 80% and 100%, and each temperature curve of the post-heating LIHW weld center (WC) and heat-a?ected zone (HAZ) has two peak values. Through experimental and theoretical analyses, pre-heating LIHW joints were determined to mainly contain ferrite, bainite and little martensite, while the post-heating LIHW joints have more bainite. Except for the 80% inductor output power post-heating sample, the microstructures demonstrate dispersing phenomena, as well as weld defects. With increasing pre-heating LIHW inductor output powers, the proportion of ferrite rises, martensite and bainite contents decrease, and dislocation pileup occurs; these will lead to the decrease of microhardness and an increase in plasticity. However, in post-heating LIHW joints, the amounts of ferrite and martensite show a decreasing tendency, and the proportion of bainite tends to increase. The fracture pattern of pre-heating LIHW joints and post-heating LIHW joints is shown to be a dimple fracture, and the pre-heating LIHW joints have a better tensile strength and toughness. Thus, compared with post-heating LIHW, pre-heating LIHW is shown to be superior.

Effect of graphene on corrosion resistance of Micro-arc oxidation coatings on 6061/7075 dissimilar laser-MIG hybrid welded joint
摘要： Corrosion behavior of a laser-metal inert gas hybrid (Laser-MIG) welded joint with dissimilar aluminum alloys was investigated. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings with and without graphenes were prepared on the surface of the welded joint. The effects of graphenes on the structure and corrosion resistance of the MAO coatings were studied. The welded joint was divided into five zones to investigate corrosion inducements in different zones. The heat-affected zone of 7075Al (7-HAZ) was found to be most susceptible to corrosion. Although the substrates in different zones had heterogeneous microstructures and phase compositions, the MAO coatings in different zones displayed relatively uniform surface morphology, structure, and phase composition. The MAO treatment significantly improved the corrosion resistance of welded joints. In addition, ceramic-graphene composite coatings exhibited slightly better corrosion resistance than a simple coating without graphenes due to structural changes in the coating.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Al dissimilar joints produced by laser-MIG welding–brazing
摘要： We butt-welded AA6061 aluminum alloy to Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, dissimilar light metals, by using laser-MIG hybrid welding–brazing without grooves. The parameters of the laser and arc were optimized to produce sound joints with good formation and mechanical properties. The microstructure of the layer of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. We also tested the tensile strength of the joints with and without reinforcement. The morphology and thickness of the IMCs varied throughout the joints. A continuous thin layer of TiAl3 appeared on the top surface of the Ti6Al4V, on which some rod-like IMCs grew toward the fusion zone. In the upper region of the butt plane, because more heat accumulated there from the high-power laser coupled with the MIG arc, double-layer IMCs with a thickness of ～ 10.0 μm formed, composed of TiAl (near the Ti alloy) and TiAl3 (near the fusion zone). In the lower region of the butt plane, the double-layer IMCs became continuous and uniform, the serrated morphology disappeared, and the thickness of the IMC layer decreased to 4.0 μm. On the backside of the joint, the thickness of the compound layer (TiAl3) was about 1.0 μm. The average tensile strengths of the reinforced and unreinforced joints were 226 MPa and 210 MPa, respectively, which are up to 88% and 81% of the AA6061 tensile strength, respectively.

Visualization of the molten pool of the laser beam submerged arc hybrid welding process
摘要： Submerged arc welding is currently the predominant industrial welding process for joining various steel grades in the plate thickness range of about 40 mm. A high energy input and the associated component distortion are unavoidable due to the high number of welding layers. By combining the conventional submerged arc welding process with the laser beam welding process to form a common hybrid welding process, this welding task can be mastered in only two welding layers by means of layer-counter-layer technology. This considerably reduces the welding time and thermally induced component distortion to a minimum due to the symmetrical energy input. A characteristic feature of a hybrid welding process is the formation of a common weld pool. In previous studies, the mixing of the molten pool has already been proven using chemical analysis methods. In the context of this paper, the shaping of the hybrid weld pool is also discussed. The molten material is expelled out of the joining zone by means of a gas pressure surge. Subsequently, a light section sensor was used to scan this area and produce a three-dimensional image from the formerly molten weld seam area. This shows that a single contiguous melt pool is produced. Finally, the first one-sided welds with full penetration and backing will be presented and discussed.

Laser-arc hybrid welding of 12- and 15-mm thick structural steel
摘要： High-power lasers are very effective in welding of plates thicker than 10 mm due to the keyhole mode. High-power intensity generates a vapor-filled cavity which provides substantial penetration depth. Due to the narrow and deep weld geometry, there is susceptibility to high hardness and weld defects. Imperfections occur due to keyhole instability. A 16-kW disk laser was used for single-pass welding of 12- to 15-mm thick plates in a butt joint configuration. Root humping was the main imperfection and persisted within a wide range of process parameters. Added arc source to the laser beam process may cause increased root humping and sagging due to accelerated melt flow. Humping was mitigated by balancing certain arc and other process parameters. It was also found that lower welding speeds (< 1.2 m/min) combined with lower laser beam power (< 13 kW) can be more positive for suppression of humping. Machined edges provided more consistent root quality and integrity compared with plasma cut welded specimens. Higher heat input (> 0.80 kJ/mm) welds provided hardness level below 325 HV. The welded joints had good Charpy toughness at ? 50 °C (> 50 J) and high tensile strength.

Fatigue behavior improvements of laser-induction hybrid welded S690QL steel plates
摘要： In this paper, the improvements of fatigue performances of S690QL steel welded by laser-induction hybrid welding (LIHW) method were performed, mainly through the infrared imaging device to obtain the weld thermal cycle, fatigue machine to test the fatigue strength and scanning electron microscope to observe the fracture morphology. In fatigue tests, tension-tension fatigue loading and stress ratio R = 0.1 was selected. The LIHW fitted S-N curves were derived. It was found that the cracks with symmetrical grooves were initiated at the weld center (WC), while the single-laser welding (SLW) fatigue samples were fractured at the WC. However, the LIHW samples were finally fractured near heat-affected zone (HAZ). The fracture morphology of fatigue samples with stress amplitude of 108 MPa and 144 MPa were further selected to analysis. Due to different degree of defects or stress concentration, and different welding heat input absorption ability and cooling rate, in sudden fracture region, SLW fatigue samples mainly contained the brittle transient failure mode, LIHW fatigue samples mainly showed a ductile failure mode. It can thus be concluded that the LIHW method could improve the fatigue performance of S690QL steel joints.
