Experimental Development of Dual Phase Steel Laser-arc Hybrid Welding and its Comparison to Laser and Gas Metal Arc Welding
摘要： Dual phase DP600 steels have been used in many automobile structures and laser welding has been the standard method for the joining of different sections. This work proposed a comparison between laser welding with arc welding (GMAW) and with hybrid laser-arc welding in order to access the microstructures and the mechanical behavior. The laser and hybrid welds are competitive in terms of microstructure and mechanical behavior, presenting both acceptable and tough welds. The maximum ductility of the laser and hybrid welds are very similar, around 14%, and near to the values observed in the base material. The GMAW presents low ductility due to the softening caused by tampering of the martensite, and thus is unacceptable as the welding procedure.

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.

Characteristics of multi-pass narrow-gap laser welding of D406A ultra-high strength steel
摘要： A universal and applicable method to predict bonding quality in narrow-gap laser beam filler wire welding of D406A ultra-high strength steel was presented. Defect-free joint could be achieved under the predicted optimal welding condition, while the production efficiency of narrow-gap laser beam filler wire welding under optimized welding condition was about 3.75 times that of traditional tungsten arc welding currently used in practical industry. Compared with the tungsten arc welding joint, microstructure in the fusion zone of laser welded joint was more uniform, which brought out a less fluctuation in the microhardness of fusion zone along the thickness direction. The tensile strength of as-welded laser welding joint was slightly higher than that of as-welded tungsten arc welding joint while the elongation of the former increased by 15.9% over that of the latter. A binocular stereo three-dimensional scanning method was adopted to compare the residual distortion of D406A joints between laser welding and tungsten arc welding. Notably, the distortion of laser welded joint was about 21% of that of the tungsten arc welding joint. Narrow-gap laser filler wire welding is a feasible substitute for conventional tungsten arc welding in the fabrication of welded construction of D406A steel.

Inline weld depth measurement for high brilliance laser beam sources using optical coherence tomography
摘要： As a result of the rapidly growing importance of applications in electro mobility that require a precisely defined laser weld depth, the demand for inline process monitoring and control is increasing. To overcome the challenges in process data acquisition, this paper proposes the application of a novel sensor concept for deep penetration laser beam welding with high brilliance laser sources. The experiments show that optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to measure the weld depth by comparing the distance to the material surface with the distance to the keyhole bottom measured by the sensor. Within the presented work, the measuring principle was used for the first time to observe a welding process with a highly focused laser beam source. First, a preliminary experimental study was carried out to evaluate the influence of the angle of incidence, the material, and the weld joint geometry on the quality of the sensor signal. When using a multimode fiber laser with a focus diameter of 320 μm, the measurements showed a distinct behavior for aluminum and copper. The findings about the measurement signal properties were then applied to laser beam welding with a single-mode fiber laser with a spot diameter of only 55 μm. The spot diameter of the OCT measuring beam was about 50 μm and thus only slightly smaller than that of the single-mode processing beam. A wide variety of tests were carried out to determine the limits of the measurement procedure. The results show that the application of OCT allows inline monitoring of the weld depth using both a multimode and a highly focused single-mode laser beam. In addition, various influences on the signal were identified, e.g., the material-specific melt pool dynamics as well as several characteristic reflection and absorption properties.

Effects of titanium on grain boundary strength in molybdenum laser weld bead and formation and strengthening mechanisms of brazing layer
摘要： Molybdenum has tremendous application potential in the nuclear power field, but its application is limited by the grain-boundary embrittlement of fusion-welded joints made of it. In this study, titanium was selected as an alloying element to reduce brittleness of laser weld beads in molybdenum "cladding-end plug" socket joints. Brazing was also performed to enhance the joint strength. Joints with the same strength as base material and a hydraulic bursting pressure of 60 MPa were produced using a combination of the two methods. The analysis indicates the following. After being added to the weld bead, titanium was able to combine with the free oxygen, forming TiO2 and reducing the MoO2 content on grain boundary surface. Oxygen and MoO2 are both the main causes of the embrittlement of molybdenum grain boundaries. In addition, by taking advantage of the high melting point and thermal conductivity of molybdenum, a titanium foil pre-placed between the tube and rod in the socket joint was melted, forming metallurgical bonding, which further improved the bearing capacity of the joint.

Process control and quality assurance in remote laser beam welding by optical coherence tomography
摘要： Remote laser beam welding significantly outperforms conventional joining techniques in terms of flexibility and productivity. This process benefits in particular from a highly focused laser radiation and thus from a well-defined heat input. The small spot sizes of high brilliance laser beam sources, however, require a highly dynamic and precise positioning of the beam. Also, the laser intensities typically applied in this context result in high process dynamics and in demand for a method to ensure a sufficient weld quality. A novel sensor concept for remote laser processing based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used for both quality assurance and edge tracking. The OCT sensor was integrated into a 3D scanner head equipped with an additional internal scanner to deflect the measuring beam independently of the processing beam. With this system, the surface topography of the process zone as well as the surrounding area can be recorded. Fundamental investigations on aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel were carried out. Initially, the influence of the material, the angle of incidence, the welding position within the scanning field, and the temperature on the OCT measuring signal were evaluated. Based on this, measuring strategies for edge tracking were developed and validated. It was shown that orthogonal measuring lines in the advance of the process zone can reliably track the edge of a fillet weld. By recording the topography in the trailing area of the process zone, it was possible to assess the weld seam quality. Comparing the results to microscopic measurements, it was shown that the system is capable of clearly identifying characteristic features of the weld seam. Also, it was possible to observe an influence of the welding process on the surface properties in the heat-affected zone, based on the quality of the measuring signal.

Enhanced mechanical performance of fusion zone in laser beam welding joint of molybdenum alloy due to solid carburizing
摘要： It is unable to strengthen molybdenum (Mo) through solid-state phase transformation, while exploring the effect of carbon (C) on microstructures and properties of fusion zone (FZ) of laser beam welding (LBW) joints of Mo alloy with serious grain boundary embrittlement is significant. An analysis was made on changes of bonding strength of grain boundary and precipitates on the grain boundary surface in the FZ of Mo carburized welded joints, and the existing form and strengthening mechanism of carbon. At first, solid carburizing (SC) can achieve the goal of adding the C to welded joints and C mainly appeared as C atoms and Mo2C in Mo alloy. Afterwards, C could increase the grain boundary strength and the plasticity of grains in the FZ. Therefore, the compatibility of deformation at grain boundary and grain interior was improved. Finally, Mo2C distributing at the grain boundary can inhibit the crack propagation during the deformation. As a results, the tensile strength of carburized weld joints rose by 426% compared with that of uncarburized weld joints, meanwhile the above results provide a new idea for the method for strengthening the Mo fusion weld joints.

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.

Comparative Study on Microstructure and Aluminum Distribution Between Laser Beam Welding and Electron Beam Welding of Tia??6Ala??4V Alloy Plates
摘要： Ti–6Al–4V alloy plates with a thickness of 4 mm were joined by electron beam welding (EBW) and laser beam welding (LBW). The comparison of LBW and EBW was performed according to grain morphology, microstructure, aluminum distribution, and microhardness of the joints. Results indicate that compared with LBW joint, more equiaxed grains are observed around the central zone of the EBW joint. The microstructure in fusion zone (FZ) of EBW joint presents more uneven with obviously coarser acicular martensite α′. Moreover, the aluminum element content of EBW joint is substantially lower, which demonstrates a more significant burning loss behavior in EBW process. The lower aluminum content in the upper center areas of the joints is attributed to the more significant element burning loss caused by higher temperature, whereas more uniform aluminum distribution in the upper part of the joints is ascribed to stronger convection form within the upper part of the joint. In addition, the characteristics of convection and thermal field within the molten pool are recognized as vital factors influencing the aluminum distribution. The lower microhardness profile in FZ of the EBW joint is principally attributed to coarser acicular martensite α′ and lower aluminum element in EBW joint.

A data-driven model for weld bead monitoring during the laser welding assisted by magnetic field
摘要： In this research, a data-driven model is developed to monitor the seam during the laser beam welding under the influence of an external magnetic field (LBW-AMF). Firstly, a visible LBW-AMF system is built for tracking the laser melting pool and keyhole. Then, the features of the laser melting pool and keyhole are extracted with image processing techniques. The approach for an ensemble of different neural networks which includes radial basis function neural network, back-propagation neural network, and generalized regression neural network is proposed to establish the correlations of the characteristics of the laser melting pool and keyhole and the welding seam. Finally, LBW-AMF experimental results are obtained to validate the performance of the proposed data-driven model. Results illustrate that the developed model can provide a reliable result for monitoring the weld bead, which could give guidance for controlling the processing parameters in real time to improve the weld quality for practical LBW-AMF.
