An effective way to reduce the weight of vehicle body seems to be application of new materials, and such trend is remarkable. Among the various materials for automobile body, stainless steel sheets and cold rolled steel sheets are under the interests. However, in order to guarantee reliability of new material and to establish the long life fatigue design criteria for body structure, it is necessary to assess spot weldability and fatigue strength of spot welded lap joints fabricated under optimized spot welding condition. In this paper, spot weldability of stainless steel sheets, STS301L and STS304L, and cold rolled steel sheets, SPCC and SPCD. Fatigue strength of lap joints spot welded between similar and dissimilar materials were also assessed.

Specimen with rectangular cross-section usually used to measure the tensile properties of materials. However, the specimen size and thickness may affect the results. In this study, tensile and fracture behaviours of very thin 304 stainless steel sheet were investigated. The thickness of the stainless steel sheets investigated were 100 and 300 µm. Tensile samples were cut into dumbbell-shaped of rectangular cross-section with same width for both thickness according to ASTM E8. The results showed that 100 µm thin steel sheet exhibited higher tensile strength with no clear evidence of yielding as compared to 300 µm sheet. The fracture morphology images observed by scanning electron microscopy revealed that both specimens fracture in ductile mode. Formation of dimples on the fracture surface could be recognized easily in 300 µm sample at higher magnification as compared to 100 µm sample.

The sensitization of stainless steel type AISI304 (304SS) is evaluated as a function of pre-welding cold work and welding heat input. 304SS is cold rolled to various percentages of thickness reduction of up to 50% at ambient temperature before being TIG welded. The susceptibility of 304SS to sensitization (weld decay) is evaluated using ASTM A262, practice A and electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation tests. The results indicate that the influence of pre-welding cold work on the degree of sensitization (DOS) is distinct and appreciable within the range of 10% to 35% CR. In addition, within this range the optimum level of cold work after which the DOS starts to decrease is found to be inversely related to the amount of welding heat input. At higher levels of cold work of ≥ 35% CR, it is found that neither the cold work nor the heat input significantly influences the amount of DOS. Microstructural investigation showed that the predominant intergranular corrosion (IGC) occurs at austenite grain boundaries and less likely at ferrite / austenite interfaces of the weld metal. Meanwhile, transgranular attack at austenite bulk matrix along the defects is rarely observed.

Number Of Passes

In order to investigate the effect of the reduction degree per rolling pass on the evolution of recrystallization textures and microstructures, the hot band of 17.5 Cr-1.1 Mo ferritic stainless steel sheets were cold rolled with lubrication according to two processing routes, by which different reduction degrees per pass were introduced. Rolling with a large number of passes led to the formation of fairly homogeneous rolling textures at all through-thickness positions. In contrast, cold rolling with large draughts resulted in pronounced texture gradients along the thickness direction. After recrystallization annealing, the texture maximum was obtained at {334}<483> in all samples regardless of the rolling routes and thickness layers. During subsequent annealing, recrystallization was observed to be faster in those grains with {111}<uvw> orientations, while it was retarded in grains having orientations close to {001}<110>.
