Welding Processes

An innovative process design, to avoid thermal degradation during autogenous fusion welding of high strength AA 2024-T4 alloy, based on laser beam welding, is being developed. A series of instrumented laser welds in 2 mm thick AA 2024-T4 alloys were made with different processing conditions resulting in different thermal profiles and cooling rates. The welds were examined under SEM, TEM and LOM, and subjected to micro-hardness examination. This allowed us to understand the influence of cooling rate, peak temperature, and thermal cycle on the growth of precipitates, and related degradation in the weld and heat affected area, evident as softening. Although laser beam welding allows significant reduction of heat input, and higher cooling rates, as compared to other high heat input welding processes, this was found insufficient to completely supress coarsening of precipitate in HAZ. To understand the required range of thermal cycles, additional dilatometry tests were carried out using the same base material to understand the time-temperature relationship of precipitate formation. The results were used to design a novel laser welding process with enhanced cooling, such as with copper backing bar and cryogenic cooling.

Abstract Application of laser welding technology requires that the laser beam is guided through the whole length of the joint with sufficiently high accuracy. This paper describes result of research on development of optomechatronic system that allows for the precise positioning of the laser head’s TCP point on the edge of welded elements during laser processing. The developed system allows for compensation of workpiece’s fixture inaccuracies, precast distortions and workpiece deformations occurring during the process.

Hastelloy X is a commercially available nickel-chromium-molybdenum superalloy with a good oxidation resistance, a good mechanical properties at high temperature and a significant formability; sine qua criteria for the choice of materials for the production of chambers turbojet combustion which is part of this study [1]. Arc welding technique is commonly used for the manufacturing of parts but the aeronautical requirements becoming increasingly severe especially in terms of reproducibility of geometry and metallurgical grade fillet weld. Laser welding is a viable method of assembly to meet these new demands by its automation to replace longer term the manual TIG welding. The high power CO2laser is extensively used for practical applications such as cutting and welding laser welding. The CO2laser is very used in the industry with regard to Yb:YAG laser which until now was not rather powerful but this changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Yb:YAG laser beam parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the laser beam welded superalloys Hastelloy X to define a field of weldability. The implementation of an experimental design approach is required due to the multitude of input parameters and the complexity of the phenomena involved [2-3].
