The study proposed within this paper deals with an application of finite element techniques to the thermo-structural analysis of a dissimilar butt-welded joint. Residual stresses induced by the fusion arc-welding of steel joints in power generation plants are a concern to the industry. Nowadays, the application of finite element method appears to be a very efficient method for the prediction and the investigation of the weld-induced residual stresses, nevertheless the detailed modelling of all phenomena involved in such process is still challenging. The structural integrity assessment of welded structures strongly requires a deep investigation of weld-induced residual stresses in order to be compliant with safety requirement of power plant. The longitudinal and transversal residual stresses in dissimilar material butt joints of 8 mm thick for V-groove shape were studied. The developed thermo-mechanical FE model as well as the simulation procedures are detailed and results are discussed. As a result of such work, it has been found out that residual stresses in the two dissimilar plates are characterized by very different magnitudes and distribution.

Dissimilar metals joints between aluminum and zinc-coated steel were joined by CMT machine with ER4043 filler metal. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints obtained with different heat input were analyzed. The results showed that the thickness of interfacial intermetallic compound was determined by the welding heat input. Tensile specimens were broken in HAZ of aluminum base metal and the tensile strength of the joint can reach 122.3MPa.

The use of zinc coated steel in the automotive industry is rapidly increasing as a result of consumer demand for improved corrosion resistance of automobile bodies. Plasma arc welding of zinc coated steels is currently under investigation, with a strong emphasis on their weldability. In the present study, plasma arc welding has been performed on zinc coated steel with several welding parameters, such as current, travel speed and flow of plasma gas. Those parameters are interrelated in their effect on penetration, in order to produce sound welds. An optimum combination of parameters was sought, which would give full penetration of the weld, with the highest travel speed and no visual defects on every steel-sheet as a basis; hence, characterizing the process in the most interesting way and into a useful industrial applications. It is found that zinc coated steel sheets of 0.7 mm and 1 mm thickness can be welded by plasma arc welding. The microstructures of welds were almost similar. There is a slight difference in chemical composition of the welds because of zinc pick-up which varies from the top surface to the bottom welds. The presence of zinc in the welds did not have any effect on the mechanical properties.
