Untersuchung der Verarbeitungseigenschaften von Kupferbasiszusatzwerkstoffen im MIG- und Laserlötprozess an Stahlblechen mit unterschiedlichem FestigkeitsverhaltenEbbinghaus, Michael 16 October 2014 (has links) (PDF)
In der Arbeit werden spezielle Kupferlote im MIG- und Laserlötverfahren an Stählen mit unterschiedlichem Festigkeitsverhalten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse sollen dazu beitragen, den Lötprozess durch den Einsatz spezieller Kupferbasislote zu optimieren und durch reduzierten Energieeintrag ein homogeneres Eigenschaftsfeld im Bereich der Fügestelle zu erzeugen. Den Verarbeitern dieser Werkstoffe soll die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, diese Werkstoffe rationeller und mit höherer Effektivität zu verarbeiten.
Im Ergebnis der Arbeit sollen Verbesserungen der Eigenschaften der Lötnähte erzielt werden, die besonders in der Dünnblechverarbeitung mit Schwerpunkt Karosseriebau Anwendung finden. Wesentliche Ziele sind die Erhöhung der Festigkeitseigenschaften, eine Erhöhung der Fügegeschwindigkeit, die Verbesserung des Phosphatierungsverhaltens sowie eine Reduzierung der eingebrachten Wärmeenergie. Die Vielfältigkeit dieser Anforderungen macht es notwendig, die Versuche sowohl im Laser- als auch im MIG-Lötverfahren durchzuführen. Die Lötverfahren werden in der Praxis für unterschiedliche Anforderungen innerhalb der Karosserie eingesetzt. Das Fügen von hochfesten Strukturelementen oder Außenhautbauteilen erfordert in Abhängigkeit von den Anforderungen die Verwendung ausgewählter Zusatzwerkstoffe. Die Vielfältigkeit der Werkstoffe und der Anforderungen spiegelt sich in den Untersuchungen der vorliegenden Arbeit wieder. Für weitergehende Untersuchungen, speziell im hochfesten Blechbereich, soll die Arbeit entsprechende Grundlagen bieten.
Als Vorlage für die Erarbeitung von experimentellen und theoretischen Methodiken der Prozessbetrachtung werden neben typischen Kupferloten neu entwickelte Lotlegierungen verwendet. Bei der Betrachtung der Kupferlegierungen werden die unterschiedlichen Einflüsse auf den Fügeprozess definiert und beschrieben.
Es wird festgestellt, dass niedrig schmelzende Lote mit ausgewählter Legierungszusammensetzung im Gegensatz zu Eisenbasis-Schweißdrähten einen geringeren negativen Einfluss auf das Gefüge der Bleche im Nahtbereich ausüben.
Um die thermische Beanspruchung, besonders in der Wärmeeinflusszone, während des Fügeprozesses gering zu halten, kann zusätzlich eine geeignete Stromquellentechnik zum Einsatz kommen. Mit Hilfe des „kalten“ Lichtbogens ist es möglich, die eingebrachte Streckenenergie weiter zu reduzieren.
Faktoren, die den Energieeintrag beeinflussen, werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit in experimentellen und theoretischen Untersuchungen hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkung auf das Festigkeitsverhalten betrachtet.
Es werden durch geeignete Legierungskombinationen die Einflüsse auf die Steigerung der Lötgeschwindigkeit und auf eine Verbesserung des Phosphatierungsverhaltens untersucht.
Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen liefern die Informations- und Beweisbasis für die erarbeiteten Legierungssysteme und ermöglichen es, den optimierten Lötprozess an hochfesten Stahlblechen wissenschaftlich zu betrachten.
Die Auswertung der wissenschaftlichen Experimente, dargestellt in den angefügten ausführlichen Tabellen, stellen die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Legierungsauswahl und der eingebrachten Streckenenergie dar. Die Erkenntnisse aus der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen für das Fügen von hochfesten Blechen die Entscheidung über die Auswahl geeigneter Zusatzwerkstoffe erleichtern.
Die Ergebnisse der theoretischen Untersuchungen anhand mathematischer Modelle zur Beschreibung der physikalischen Prozesse der Wärmezufuhr durch Verwendung eines ausgewählten Lotes in Kombination mit geeigneter Stromquellentechnologie sind die Grundlage für die Optimierung des Lötprozesses.
Die vorgeschlagenen Modelle zur Entwicklung und Optimierung von Lichtbogenlötprozessen mit neu entwickelten Lotlegierungen wurde im Rahmen der vorgelegten Arbeit an realen Blechqualitäten angewendet und überprüft.
In den Ergebnissen hat sich bestätigt, dass die Verwendung spezieller Kupferlote zu verbesserten Verarbeitungseigenschaften führen, und damit Konzepte zum wirtschaftlich verbesserten Fügen angeboten werden.

Reduction of hydrogen embrittlement on Electrogalvanized Ultra High Strength SteelsHaglund, Adam January 2014 (has links)
Ultra-high strength steels is known to be susceptible for hydrogen embrittlement at very low concentrations of hydrogen. In this thesis three methods to prevent or reduce the hydrogen embrittlement in martensitic steel, with tensile strength of 1500 MPa, were studied. First, a barrier layer of aluminium designed to prevent hydrogen to enter the steel, which were deposited by vacuum evaporation. Second, a decarburization process of the steels surface designed to mitigate the induced stresses from cutting. Last, a hydrogen relief treatment at 150°C for 11 days and 200°C for 4 days, to reduce the hydrogen concentration in the steel. The effect of the hydrogen embrittlement was analyzed by manual measurements of the elongations after a slow strain rate testing at 5*10-6 mm/s, and the time to fracture in an in-situ constant load test with a current density of 1.92 mA/cm2 in a 0.5 M Na2SO4 solution. The barrier layer showed an increase in time to fracture, but also a decrease in elongations. The decarburized steel had a small increase in the time to fracture, but not enough to make it a feasible process. The hydrogen relief treatment showed a general decrease in hydrogen concentrations, but the elongation measurements was irregular although with a tendency for improvement. The simplicity of the hydrogen relief treatment makes it an interesting process to reduce the influence of hydrogen embrittlement. However, more investigations are necessary.

Previous issue date: 2005 / Resumo: Trinca induzida por hidrogênio é um dos defeitos mais graves que ocorrem em juntas soldadas de diversos aços. Esta falha mecânica ocorre com bastante freqüência na zona afetada pelo calor (ZAC) destes materiais. Com o desenvolvimento de novos aços, o risco da ocorrência de trincamento na ZAC tem se reduzido cada vez mais e passado a ocorrer com mais freqüência no metal de solda (MS). O teste G-BOP (Gapped Bead-on-Plate) destaca-se dentre os vários testes autodestrutivos pela grande aplicação em avaliar susceptibilidade de ocorrência de trincas de hidrogênio somente no cordão de solda. As principais vantagens deste teste são: baixo custo quando comparado a outros testes, simplicidade na execução e facilidade em quantificar trincas a frio no MS. Apesar de todas as vantagens, este teste tem sérias limitações e uma delas é o fato de não ser normalizado. Visando contribuir com informações que possam agregar maior confiabilidade e contribuir para a normalização do teste G-BOP, este trabalho teve como objetivo principal estudar de maneira sistemática e científica a influência das principais variáveis do teste G-BOP (dimensão do rebaixo, energia nominal de soldagem e temperatura de preaquecimento) sobre a variável de resposta, que é o percentual de trinca induzida por hidrogênio na seção transversal do metal de solda, As três variáveis foram estudadas segundo uma análise estatística de variância, identificando a influência individual de cada uma e a interação entre elas sobre os resultados do teste. Para o desenvolvimento experimental foi utilizado como material de base um aço ASTM A-285 grau C, como metal de adição, um arame tubular de classificação AWS E71T-1 e o 'CO IND. 2¿ como gás de proteção auxiliar. Para os níveis de cada uma das variáveis analisadas aqui, identificou-se que a energia nominal de soldagem e a temperatura de preaquecimento são variáveis que tem influência significativa sobre os resultados do teste G-BOP e que a variável dimensão do rebaixo não tem influência significativa. Identificou-se ainda que a interação entre estas variáveis também não apresenta influência significativa sobre os resultados do teste / Abstract: Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) is a serious defect that occurs in welded joints of several steel types. This mechanical failure occurs frequently on the heat affected zone (HAZ). With the development of new steels the probability of HIC occurring on the HAZ has reduced, however it has started to occur on the weld metal (WM). The Gapped bead-on-plate test (G-BOP) stands out from several other self-restraint tests for its great application to evaluate HIC only on the weld metal. The main advantages of this test are: low cost, simple execution and crack quantification on WM. Despite its advantages, this test has a serious limitation that it is not normalized. To contribute to getting information that can add greater trustworthiness to G-BOP test and help to normalize it, the objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the main variable of the G-BOP test (gap, welding heat and preheat temperature) in the output variable (HIC %). A variance analysis was used to identify the influence of these variables in the test results. For the experimental development the ASTM A-285 grade C steel was used as base metal as well as AWS E71T-1 flux core and 'CO IND. 2¿ shielding. It was concluded that the heat input and the preheat temperature have significant influence in the test result. The gap and the interaction between these variables don't have any influence in the test result / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia de Fabricação

Previous issue date: 2005 / Resumo: Este trabalho propõe um modelo para avaliar pontualmente as variações de tenacidade à fratura ao longo da camada cementada de um aço SAE 5115. A pequena espessura dessas camadas impede a retirada de corpos de prova nas dimensões especificadas pelas normas de ensaios de tenacidade à fratura. Assim, para simular uma camada cementada retirou-se corpos de prova de tração e de tenacidade à fratura de amostras de aços SAE 5115, 5140, 5160 e 52100 assumindo a influência local apenas da variação do teor de carbono e considerando que os teores dos demais elementos de liga são essencialmente constantes. Os corpos de prova após eletrodeposição de cobre foram tratados termicamente numa carga industrial de cementação, têmpera e revenimento para serem submetidos aos efeitos térmicos sem absorção de carbono. Os resultados da análise microestrutural, dos ensaios de microdureza, de tração e de tenacidade à fratura foram agrupados em um único gráfico e comparados com o perfil de cementação de peças de aço SAE 5115 tratadas nas mesmas condições. Foi confirmado que a tenacidade à fratura varia inversamente proporcional à microdureza (HV1) e que a previsão do comportamento de uma trinca numa camada cementada pode ser feita por meio de equação ou diagrama que relacionam a miicrodureza HV1 com a tenacidade à fratura (K1c ou CTODc) / Abstract: The purpose of this work is to propose a model for evaluating the fracture toughness along the SAE 5115 steel carburized layer. Due to the small thickness of those layers, it is impossible to machine specimens from those layer in accordance with standards. For simulating the microstructures of the carburized layer in order to get samples for tensile and the fracture toughness testing, specimens of SAE 5115, 5140, 5160, and 52100 steels assuming the local influence just of the variation of the content of carbon and considering that the contents of the other alloy elements are essentially constant. The specimens after electroplated copper layer were heat treated in an industrialload of carburizing, quenching, and tempering for they be submitted to the thermal effects without absorption of carbono The results of the microstructure analysis and microhardness, tension, and fracture toughness tests were placed in a single graph and compared with the profile of the carburizing of the steel SAE 5115 heat treated in the same conditions. It was confirmed that the fracture toughness varies inversely proportional to the microhardness (HV1) and that the forecast of the behavior of a crack in a carburized layer can be made through equation or it designs that relate the microhardness (HV1) with the fracture toughness (KIC or CTODc) / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

curvamento a
quente por indução na microestrutura e nas propriedades
mecânicas do tubo API
5L X80, fabricado pelo processo UOE, com chapa produzida
através do processo
de laminação controlada sem resfriamento acelerado. O
curvamento foi realizado
com aquecimento localizado, provocado por uma bobina de
alta freqüência,
seguido de resfriamento por jatos de água. O tubo curvado

ensaios mecânicos de
tração, microdureza e impacto Charpy-V, análises
dimensionais e avaliação
microestrutural. Verificou-se uma alteração significativa
na microestrutura da
região curvada, resultando em uma curva com menores
valores de temperatura de
transição e limite de escoamento inferior ao do tubo
original e ao requerido por
norma. O tratamento térmico aplicado na região curvada,
mostrou-se eficiente
para elevar o limite de escoamento para valores acima do

produced by the UOE process. The key characteristic of the
pipe was the
manufacturing process of the steel plate, involving
thermomechanical controlled
rolling without accelerated cooling. The pipe bending was
carried out applying
local induction heating followed by water quenching and a
further temper heat
treatment was applied to the curved section. The
methodology of analysis
compared the curved section with the original body pipe,

Improving fatigue properties of welded high strength steelsHarati, Ebrahim January 2017 (has links)
In recent years a strong interest has been expressed to produce lighter structures.One possible solution to reduce the weight is to utilize high strength steels and use welding as the joining method. Many components experience fatigue loadingduring all or part of their life time and welded connections are often the prime location of fatigue failure. This becomes more critical in welded high strength steels as fatigue strength of welds does not increase by increasing the steel strength. A possible solution to overcome this issue is to use fatigue improvement methods.The main objectives of this project are, therefore, to increase understanding of the factors that control fatigue life and to investigate how the fatigue strength improvement methods; high frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) treatment and use of Low Transformation Temperature (LTT) consumables will affect fatigue properties of welds in high strength steels. In this regard, Gas Metal Arc Welding(GMAW) was used to produce butt and fillet welds using LTT or conventional fillers in steels with yield strengths ranging from 650-1021 MPa and T-joint weldsin a steel with 1300 MPa yield strength. The effect of HFMI on fatigue strength of the welds in 1300 MPa yield strength steels was also investigated. Butt and fillet welds in 650-1021 MPa steels were fatigue tested under constant amplitude tensile loading with a stress ratio of 0.1 while T-joints were fatigue tested under constant amplitude fully reversed bending load with a stress ratio of -1. The nominal stress approach was used for fatigue strength evaluation of butt and fillet welds whereas the effective notch stress approach was used in case of T-joints. Relative effectsof the main parameters such as residual stress and weld toe geometry influencing fatigue strength of welds were evaluated. Residual stresses were measured using X-ray diffraction for as-welded and HFMI treated welds. Neutron diffraction was additionally used to investigate the near surface residual stress distribution in 1300 MPa LTT welds.Results showed that use of LTT consumables increased fatigue strength of welds in steels with yield strengths ranging from 650-1021 MPa. For butt welds, the vii characteristic fatigue strength (FAT) of LTT welds at 2 million cycles was up to46% higher when compared to corresponding welds made with conventional fillermaterials. In fillet welds, a maximum improvement of 132% was achieved when using LTT wires. The increase in fatigue strength was attributed to the lower tensile residual stresses or even compressive stresses produced close to the weldtoe in LTT welds. Weld metals with martensite transformation start temperatures around 200 °C produced the highest fatigue strength. In 1300 MPa yield strength steel, similar FAT of 287 MPa was observed for LTT welds and 306 MPa for conventional welds, both much higher than the IIW FATvalue of 225 MPa. The relative transformation temperatures of the base and weldmetals, specimen geometry and loading type are possible reasons why the fatigue strength was not improved by use of LTT wires. Neutron diffraction showed that the LTT consumable was capable of inducing near surface compressive residual stresses in all directions at the weld toe. It was additionally found that there arevery steep stress gradients both transverse to the weld toe line and in the depth direction, at the weld toe. Due to difficulties to accurately measure residual stresses locally at the weld toe most often in the literature and recommendations residual stresses a few millimetre away from the weld toe are related to fatigue properties. However, this research shows that caution must be used when relating these to fatigue strength, in particular for LTT welds, as stress in the base materiala few millimetre from the weld toe can be very different from the stress locally at the weld toe.HFMI increased the mean fatigue strength of conventional welds in 1300 MPa steels about 26% and of LTT welds by 13%. It increased the weld toe radius slightly but produced a more uniform geometry along the treated weld toes. Large compressive residual stresses, especially in the longitudinal direction, were introduced adjacent to the weld toe for both LTT and conventional treated welds. It was concluded that the increase in fatigue strength by HFMI treatment is due to the combined effect of weld toe geometry modification, increase in surface hardness and introduction of compressive residual stresses in the treated region.It was concluded that the residual stress has a relatively larger influence than the weld toe geometry on fatigue strength of welds. This is based on the observation that a moderate decrease in residual stress of about 15% at the 300 MPa stress level had the same effect on fatigue strength as increasing the weld toe radius by approximately 85% from 1.4 mm to 2.6 mm, in fillet welds. Also, a higher fatigue strength was observed for HFMI treated conventional welds compared to as welded samples having similar weld toe radii but with different residual stresses.

Innovative Modular High Performance Lightweight Decks for Accelerated Bridge ConstructionGhasemi, Sahar 13 November 2015 (has links)
At an average age of 42 years, 10% of the nation’s over 607,000 bridges are posted for load restrictions, with an additional 15% considered structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. While there are major concerns with decks in 75% of structurally deficient bridges, often weight and geometry of the deck further limit the load rating and functionality of the bridge. Traditional deck systems and construction methods usually lead to prolonged periods of traffic delays, limiting options for transportation agencies to replace or widen a bridge, especially in urban areas.
The purpose of this study was to develop a new generation of ultra-lightweight super shallow solid deck systems to replace open grid steel decks on movable bridges and as well serve as a viable alternative in bridge deck replacements across the country. The study has led to a lightweight low-profile asymmetric waffle deck made with advanced materials. The asymmetry comes from the arrangement of primary and secondary ribs, respectively perpendicular and parallel to the direction of traffic. The waffle deck is made with ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) reinforced with either high-strength steel (HSS) or carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement. With this combination, the deck weight was limited to below 21 psf and its overall depth to only 4 inch, while still meeting the strength and ductility demands for 4 ft. typical stringer spacing. It was further envisioned that the ultra-high strength of UHPC is best matched with the high strength of HSS or CFRP reinforcement for an efficient system and the ductile behavior of UHPC can help mask the linear elastic response of CFRP reinforcement and result in an overall ductile system. The issues of consideration from the design and constructability perspectives have included strength and stiffness, bond and development length for the reinforcement, punching shear and panel action. A series of experiments were conducted to help address these issues. Additionally full-size panels were made for testing under heavy vehicle simulator (HVS) at the accelerated pavement testing (APT) facility in Gainesville. Detailed finite element analyses were also carried out to help guide the design of this new generation of bridge decks. The research has confirmed the superior performance of the new deck system and its feasibility.

High Performance Steel for Percussive DrillingFredriksson, Mikael, Åkerlund, Elin, Åberg, Jakob, Österberg, Patrik, Havo, Rebecka January 2017 (has links)
Atlas Copco Secoroc AB are searching after new bulk materials for drill heads that are used in percussive drilling in order to improve their strength and durability. The aim of this project is to assist Atlas Copco in this search and provide them with further information regarding material properties, alloying elements, suppliers, etc. A literary study was carried out in order to identify materials that had UTS and KIC more than or equal to 1700 MPa and 70 MPa*m^1/2, respectively. Materials that fulfilled these criteria were T250 grade maraging steel, Cobalt free maraging steel, High cobalt maraging steel, 300 grade maraging steel, AerMet 100, AF1410, S53, M54, 300M, 4340M and PremoMet. These were categorized into maraging steels, high alloy secondary hardened steels, and low alloy steels, and were then further researched. The material with the highest combination of UTS and KIC was M54 followed by AerMet 100; while AF1410 had the highest KIC but a low UTS, and PremoMet had the highest UTS but a low KIC. Maraging steels and HASH steels have a similar price range, while low alloy steels are much cheaper.

Fatigue life validation of aircraft materialsRamesh, Aashish, Kalkur, Gaurav January 2020 (has links)
Fatigue is one of the critical design aspects with immense significance where thefatigue life of a material can be stated as the number of cycles that a componentcan withstand under a particular type of loading without failure. The design processhas to include fatigue analysis in order to predict failure due to fatigue. This helpsin maintenance and servicing of a component reducing the chance of failure duringoperation of the component. Increased efficiency of predictive maintenance improvesthe life of the component.This thesis aims to study the relationship between the experimental, analytical andnumerical solutions of two high strength aluminium alloys and one steel alloy fortheir life in aircraft applications covering the effects of geometrical irregularities. Italso aims to answer convergence between the numerical and the analytical methodwhen compared with each other. The simulations are carried out for three materialsamong many used in aircraft and industrial applications (Al 7050-T7451, Al 7075-T6 and AISI 4340 Steel) for a pre-defined set of geometries. The stress field andthe stress concentration factor variations are also studied to identify their effects onfatigue life.The results from this work forms a strong background for the future research alongside SAAB or any other industries using these materials for their structures to findout the failure or predicting it accurately. Also, integral structures can be analysedin detail using this thesis as a base.

Hydrogen-assisted stress corrosion cracking of high strength steel / Väte-inducerad spänningskorrosion på höghållfasta stålGhasemi, Rohollah January 2011 (has links)
In this work, Slow Strain Rate Test (SSRT) testing, Light Optical Microscopy (LOM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to study the effect of micro-structure, corrosive environments and cathodic polarisation on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of two grades of high strength steels, Type A and Type B. Type A is manufactured by quench and tempered (Q&T) method. Type B, a normalize steel was used as reference. This study also supports electrochemical polarisation resistance method as an effective testing technique for measuring the uniform corrosion rate. SSRT samples were chosen from base metal, weld metal and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). SSRT tests were performed at room temperature under free corrosion potential and cathodic polarisation using 4 mA/cm2 in 1 wt% and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions. From the obtained corrosion rate measurements performed in 1 wt% and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions it was observed that increased chloride concentration and dissolved oxygen content enhanced the uniform corrosion for all tested materials. Moreover, the obtained results from SSRT tests demonstrate that both Q&T and normalized steels were not susceptible to SCC in certain strain rate(1×10-6s-1) in 1 wt% and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions under free corrosion potential. It was con-firmed by a ductile fracture mode and high reduction in area. The weld metal of Type A with acicular ferrite (AF), pro-eutectoid (PF) and bainite microstructure showed higher susceptibility to hydrogen assisted stress corrosion cracking compared to base metal and HAZ. In addition, typical brittle intergranular cracking with small reduction in area was observed on the fracture surface of the Type A due to hydrogen charging.
