A Framework for optimised welding of fatigue loaded structures : Applied to gas metal arc welding of fillet weldsÅstrand, Erik January 2016 (has links)
Welding is a key process for heavy steel structures, but it is also a weak link in the structure since fatigue fractures in welds are a common cause of failure. This thesis proposes several changes in order to improve the fatigue properties in acost effective way, enabling reduced weight and reduced cost of welded structures. The main idea is to adapt the weld requirements and welding procedures to the load conditions of the weld. This approach ensures that the main focus in the welding process is the critical characteristics of the welds fatigue life properties. The fatigue life critical properties are most often related to the geometrical factors of the weld such as the radius at the weld toe or the penetration in the root. The thesis describes a holistic view of the subject and covers fatigue, weld quality, weld requirements and welding procedures. It becomes evident that the traditional way of working without a direct connection to fatigue is not the best. With an adaptation to the load conditions and fatigue, it is possible to enhance the fatigue life and reduce the welding cost. The main challenge is to connect the welding process, weld requirements and fatigue life properties. It is needed for an optimised welding process of heavy structures subjected to fatigue and toget a predictable fatigue life. Welds optimised for enhanced fatigue life properties are not necessary accepted according to the requirements in a current standard. Several welding procedures are proposed for improving the fatigue life properties of the weld, which indicate a high potential for enhanced fatigue lifeof fillet welds. The idea is to replace the "standard" fillet weld with three different weld types: (i) Welds with deep penetration, (ii) Welds with large weld toe radius and (iii) Welds produced with low cost. Together with customised requirements and reduced over-welding there is a vast potential for reduced weight, reduced cost and increased productivity.The main contribution of this thesis work is the cross-functional studies including design, analysis, production and quality control. This gives a framework for improvements supporting reduced cost and reduced weight of VIII welded structures without reducing the fatigue strength. Many shortcomings have been highlighted to change the welding from a state where welds are done in a way as they "always" have, by tradition, to a more contemporary situation where weld requirements and welding procedures are actively chosen to match the load conditions of the weld. This result in requirements and welding procedures which actually are connected to the fatigue properties as defined by the loading conditions, and where auditors with high probability can say that an accepted weld actually is better than a rejected weld.

Jämförelse mellan vågformsstyrda processer och konventionell spraybåge vid användning av solidtråd : Möjligheter att uppnå av Volvo CE ställda krav och potentiella vinster / Comparison between waveform-controlled processes and conventional spray arc when using solid wire : Opportunities to achieve requirements set by Volvo CE and potential benefitsKARLSSON, DANIEL January 2021 (has links)
Detta arbete har genomförts vid Volvo Construction Equipment i Braås. I nuläget används konventionell spraybågssvetsning med metallpulverfylld rörtråd i produktionen. Ett alternativ som övervägs är att byta till solidtråd. Huvudsyftet med detta arbete har varit att utreda huruvida några utvalda processer med 1.2 mm solidtråd är kapabla att producera ensträngs kälsvetsar som uppfyller av Volvo CE ställda krav: - Minst 3 mm i-mått. - Teoretiskt a-mått mellan 4 och 5.5 mm. - Svetsklass VD enligt Volvo standard STD 181-0004. - Kompatibel med fogföljning via ljusbåge. - Ingen spalt mellan plåtarna tillåten. Arbetet inleddes med en litteraturstudie för att framförallt beskriva svetsparametrars inverkan på svetsens inträngningsprofil och geometri. Ett stort antal svetsförsök utfördes med konventionell spraybåge samt de vågformsstyrda processerna Fronius PMC och Lincoln Electrics RapidArc. Försöken genomfördes i PA och i PB läge. I PB läget orienterades förbandet dels med gränsytan mellan plåtarna horisontellt och dels vertikalt. Flertalet av försöken genomfördes med svetstraktor. Kompletterande försök genomfördes med svetsrobot. Inträngning och kvalité bedömdes framförallt genom makroprov och syning, men också genom lasermätning. Vid inledande faktorförsök med RapidArc, PMC och konventionell spraybågsprocess användes trådmatningshastighet 13 och 15 m/min i kombination med svetshastighet 55 och 65 cm/min. Försöken visade att i PB läge med horisontell gränsyta kan 3 mm i-mått uppnås med trådmatningshastigheten 13 m/min och svetshastigheten 55 cm/min. Under avslutande svetsförsök med PMC i PB läge med gränsytan vertikalt vid 60 cm/min svetshastighet, pendling och 14.5-15.5 m/min trådmatningshastighet erhölls i-mått avsevärt överstigande 3 mm. Vid svetsförsök i PB läge med solidtråd uppnåddes kraven på 3 mm i-mått och mjuka fattningskanter med ökad svetshastighet jämfört med ett typiskt produktionsfall. I PA läge erhölls mindre skillnad gentemot ett produktionsfall. Genom ytterligare optimering av svetsprocesserna är det dock inte orimligt att svetshastigheterna kan ökas utan försämrade i-mått och fattningskanter. Möjlig kostnadsreducering för tillsatsmaterialet vid övergång till solidtråd är 30-50% beroende på att solidtråden är billigare än metallpulverfylld rörtråd. Ytterligare kostnadsreducering kan erhållas genom förbrukning av mindre mängd tillsatsmaterial. Vid genomförde svetsförsök har mindre mängd tillsatsmaterial tillförts jämfört med typiska produktionsfall. Både den konventionella spraybågsprocessen och de vågformsstyrda processerna är kapabla att producera de eftersträvade svetsarna med solidtråd. Här måste dock ett ”varnade finger” höjas; vid svetsningen krävs god kontroll av elektrodvinklarna och elektrodens position relativt fogens rot, annars erhålls betydligt sämre resultat. / This thesis has been performed at Volvo Construction Equipment in Braås. Currently, conventional MAG spray transfer with metal cored wire is used in the production. The company is now considering switching from metal cored wire to solid wire. The main purpose of this thesis has been to investigate whether a few selected processes used with 1.2 mm solid wire are capable of producing single pass fillet welds that conform to the following requirements set by Volvo CE: - Minimum i-dimension 3 mm. - Theoretical throat thickness between 4 and 5.5 mm. - Weld class VD according to Volvo standard STD 181-0004. - Compatible with Through Arc Seam Tracking. - No gap between the plates is allowed. A literature study was performed primarily in order to describe the influence of weld parameters on the weld and penetration profile. A large number of weld trials were performed with conventional spray transfer and the two waveform controlled processes Fronius PMC and Lincoln Electrics RapidArc. The weld trials were performed in the weld positions PA and PB. For PB the joint root was orientated both horizontally and vertically. For the majority of trials a weld tractor was used. Complementary trials were performed by a robot. Weld testing consisted primarily of macro etch testing and visual inspection but also laser scanning. The initial trials with RapidArc, PMC and conventional spray transfer were performed with the wire feed speeds 13 and 15 m/min in combination with the travel speeds 55 and 65 cm/min. The trials showed that when using weld position PB with a horizontal joint root, 3 mm i-dimension can be achieved by using wire feed speed 13 m/min and travel speed 55 cm/min. Final trials with PMC were performed in weld position PB with a vertical joint root using wire feed speeds 14.5-15.5 m/min, a travel speed of 60 cm/min and weaving resulting in i-dimensions much greater than 3 mm being achieved. Using solid wire in weld position PB, welds with 3 mm i-dimension and good wetting of the toes were produced with increased travel speed compared to a typical production case. However, in weld position PA less difference was obtained compared to a typical production case. By further optimizing the weld processes it is not unlikely that the travel speeds can be increased while maintaining the i-dimension and good wetting of the toes. A possible cost reduction for the filler material is 30-50% because solid wire is cheaper than metal cored wire. Using less filler material will result in additional cost reductions. During performed weld trials less filler material was used compared to current production scenarios. Both the conventional spray transfer process and the waveform controlled processes are capable of producing the desired welds with solid wire. However, a cautionary tale must be told: when welding, good control of the electrode angles and position relative to the joint root is needed otherwise much worse results will be obtained.
