Aluminium and its alloys are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, affordable and high-strength material and find wide applications in shipbuilding, automotive, constructions, aerospace and other industrial sectors. In applications like aerospace, marine and automotive industries, there is a need to join components made of different aluminium alloys, viz. AA6061 and AA5083. In this study friction stir welding (FSW) is used to join dissimilar plates made of AA6061-T6 and AA5083-O. The effect of varying tool pin profile, tool rotation speed, tool feed rate and tilt angle of the tool has been investigated on the tensile strength and percentage elongation of the welded joints. Box-Behkan design, with four input parameters and three levels of each parameter has been employed to decide the set of experimental runs. The regression models have been developed to investigate the influence of welding variables on the tensile strength and elongation of the welded joint. It is revealed that with the increase in welding parameters like tool rpm, tool feed rate and tilt angle of the tool, both the mechanical properties increase, reach a maximum level, followed by a decrease with further increase in the value of parameters. Amongst different types of tool pin profiles used, the FSW tool having straight cylindrical (SC) pin profile is found to yield the maximum strength and elongation of the welded joint for different combinations of welding parameters. Multiple response optimization indicates that the maximum UTS (135.83 MPa) and TE (4.35%) are obtained for the welded joint fabricated using FSW tool having SC pin profile, tilted at 1.11° and operating at tool speed and feed rate of 1568 rpm and 39.53 mm/min., respectively.

As already known, no proper control or process control parameter which absolutely guarantees a high level quality of joints made by electro-resistive welding has been established so far, especially when all possible parameters are taken into account during the welding process. Due to the process of butt-welding being very short-lived, ensuring quality of the joints is a difficult and under-researched problem. The application of non-destructive testing methods to the control interface joints is also not reliable. Therefore, further research in this area should concentrate on studying the influence of basic welding parameters, and calculating their direct or indirect impact can serve to achieve a highquality welded joint with for practice sufficient accuracy.

An experimental study of dissimilar friction welding was conducted using 15mm diameter solid bar in chrome molybdenum steel (SCM440) to carbon steel (S45C) not only to optimize the friction welding conditions, but also to investigate the fatigue performance. The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure good quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, Vickers hardness surveys of the bond of area and HAZ, and microstructure investigations. In this study, the specimens were tested as welded. For fatigue strength, the notched specimens for the optimal conditions were rotary bending fatigue tested. The results were compared with S-N curves for the base metals.

This paper is focused on the analysis of the welding technology influence on the microstructure production and quality of the welded joint. Steel of class STN 41 1375 was selected for the experiment, the samples were welded by arc welding including two methods: a manual one by coated electrode and gas metal arc welding method. Macro and microstructural analyses of the experimental welded joints confirmed that the welding parameters affected the welded joint structure in terms of the grain size and character of the structural phase.

This paper deals with the friction welding of the tube yoke and the tube of the drive shaft used in light commercial vehicles. Tube yoke made from hot forged microalloyed steel and the tube made from cold drawn steel, with a ratio (thickness/outside diameter ratio) of less than 0.1, were successfully welded by friction welding method. Hardness distributions on both sides of the welded joint across the welding interface were determined and the microstructure of the joint was investigated. Furthermore, joint strength was tested under tensile, static torsional, and torsional fatigue loadings. The tested data were analyzed by Weibull distribution. The maximum hardness value along the welded joint was detected as 553 Hv1. The lowest detected tensile strength of the joint was 13% less than the base materials’ tensile strength. The torsional load carrying capacity of the friction welded thin walled tubular joint without any damage was obtained as 4.252,5 Nm in 95% confidence interval. After conducting fully reversed torsional fatigue tests, the fatigue life of friction welded tubular joints was detected as 220.066,3 cycles.

The present work describes the results obtained from microstructural and mechanical evaluation of post-weld heat treated friction stir welds of 2024 aluminum alloys in the W temper state. Post-weld heat treatments have been carried out at 510 °C for 2.5 h followed by ageing at room temperature for 6 months, at 100 °C and 190 °C for 10 h, and by cooling in static air (O-temper). The solution treatment caused abnormal coarsening of the grains in the stir zone, which resulted in a drop in microhardness. The strength of the as-welded joint was significantly incrased by post weld heat treatments. The maximum hardness and strength values were obtained in T6 (190 °C, 10 h) treated joint. However, the T6 (190 °C, 10 h) treated joint had the lowest ductility. On the other hand, the tensile properties of the post-weld heat treated joints were far lower than those of the unwelded base materials in the same temper states. In addition, the post-weld heat treatments did not significantly change the fracture locations of the friction stir welds.

Local scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), along with a scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET), were employed to spatially map anodic and cathodic regions in a complex assembly including a friction stir lap welded joint between two Mg-Al-Mn alloys, namely AM60 and AM30. The assembly investigated herein was comprised of the two base materials (AM60 and AM30) and a stir zone (SZ). The transitory electrochemical characteristics of the three regions were perceived from different electrochemical tests and have been correlated to their respective microstructures. Potentiometric and voltametric SECM performed on the assembly in 0.01 M NaCl revealed that during the first few minutes of exposure, AM60 and SZ regions act as dominant anodic regions in the assembly whilst after 2 hours of exposure these regions transition to become cathodic relative to the AM30 region. Galvanic interaction between the different weld regions immersed in a significantly more conductive NaCl electrolyte was investigated by SVET. Under such conditions, filiform-like corrosion initiated, and propagated exclusively within the AM30 region, resulting in cathodic activation of the corroded surface. However, after approximately 5 hours of exposure, the AM60 region preferentially dissolves following sufficient cathodic activation of the AM30 region.

Resistance spot welding has been widely used in sheet fabrication for several decades. Development of new materials leads to innovation of welding processes. The paper describes the principle of innovative welding method known as Delta Spot and evaluates the properties of Delta Spot joints made by combination of galvanized steel sheets H220PD (a0 = 0.9 mm) and TRIP 40/70+Z100MBO (a0 = 0.77 mm). The quality of welded joints was evaluated by tensile test and metallographic analysis. The influence of the welding parameters on the structure of welded joint was observed too. The properties of Delta Spot joint were compared to the properties of standard resistance spot welds.
