Laser welding of CP Ti to stainless steel with
different temporal pulse shapes
جوشکاری لیزر CP Ti به فولاد زنگنزن با شکلهای ضربان زمانی مختلف
ABSTRACT
CP Ti and stainless steel sheets were laser welded by using a pulsed wave Nd:YAG laser welding system. The effect of pulse profiles used in laser welding was studied by investigating weld appearance, weld geometry, microstructure, hardness variation, joint strength and failure mode of welds. Weld quality was strongly affected by the temporal pulse profile adopted in laser welding. In comparison with the use of a normal rectangular pulse profile, stronger welds with a better homogeneity and a complex fracture mode were achieved by using a ramp-down pulse profile. This quality enhancement was contributed from the less degree of intermixing between two welding materials in melting pools.

بخش اول: آنالیز ریزساختاری
ABSTRACT
A study was made of the effects of alloying elements on microstructural factors of six high speed steel (HSS) rolls manufactured by centrifugal casting method. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of hard carbides located along solidification cell boundary and the type of the martensite matrix. Microstructural observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, and hardness measurement were conducted on the rolls to identify carbides. Various types of carbides were formed depending on the contents of strong carbide forming elements. In the rolls containing the high Cr content, MC carbides inside cells and M7C3 carbides along cell boundaries were primarily formed, while in the rolls containing the high W and Mo contents, MC carbides inside the cells and fibrous M2C carbides in the intercellular regions were dominantly formed. The most important microstructural factor affecting overall roll hardness was the intercellular carbides and their distribution. The effects of alloying elements were analyzed on the basis of the liquidus surface diagram, suggesting that the proper contents of carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium were 1.9–2.0, 3–4, 3–4, 5–7, and 5–6%, respectively.

ABSTRACT
The weld metal microstructures of autogenous TIG welds have been investigated for a range of welding conditions using an Al–Cu–Mg–Mn alloy. It was found that a combination of high welding speeds and low power densities provide the thermal conditions required for the nucleation and growth of equiaxed grains in the weld pool, providing heterogeneous nucleation sites are available. The most likely origin of the nucleants is from a combination of dendrite fragments and TiB2 particles that survive in the weld pool. The finest microstructure was observed in the centre of the weld and is attributed to the higher cooling rates which operate along the weld centreline. Composition profiles across the dendrite side arms were measured in the TEM and were found to follow a Scheil type segregation behaviour where there is negligible back diffusion in the solid. The measured core concentration of the dendrite side arms was found to rise with increasing welding speed and was attributed to the formation of significant undercoolings ahead of the primary dendrite tip, which enriched the liquid surrounding the dendrite side arms.
