High Speed Friction Stir Spot Welding on DP 980 Steel:Joint Properties and Tool WearSaunders, Nathan David 12 March 2012 (has links) (PDF)
With the desire to improve passenger safety and fuel efficiency, Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS) have been developed for use in the automotive industry. UHSS are high strength steels with high ductility and strength. DP 980 is one of these UHSS being applied in automobile manufacturing. DP 980 is difficult to join with Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) because of the high carbon content and alloying in this material. The weld becomes brittle when it solidifies during the welding process. With the desire and motivation of widely using UHSS, new welding processes are needed to be developed in order to effectively join DP 980. Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) is a developing welding process aimed to replace RSW in the automotive industry because of its ability to join materials at a lower temperature. Currently the welding loads of the tools are higher than 2000 pounds, ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 pounds, which exceeds the limit of the welding robots in the automotive factories. It is proposed that the welding loads can be reduced by increasing the spindle speed of the FSSW tool. Other focuses in the research include increasing the life of the tool and developing acceptable welding parameters for High Speed FSSW. The experimental work done for this thesis provided support that weld strength can be obtained at levels above the acceptable standard for DP 980 material (greater than 2400 pound lap shear fracture load for 1.2 mm material) while keeping the vertical load on the welding machine spindle below 2000 lbs.

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.

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.

Spot Friction Welding of Ultra High-Strength Automotive Sheet SteelSederstrom, Jack H. 12 March 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Spot friction welding (SFW) was performed on ultra high strength steel (UHSS) steel sheet commonly used in automobile manufacturing. Alloys studied included DP780, DP780EG, DP980, and DF140T sheet steel of varying thickness from 1.2 mm to 1.4 mm. Welding was accomplished using a PCBN standard tool. Weld strengths were then compared to a proposed AWS standard. Initial hardness readings were taken in cross sectioned samples. Grain structure in a SFW is presented. Resistance spot welds were created in three steels. This study focuses on the strength of SFW joints as compared to traditional resistance spot welding (RSW) in welding like materials to one another. Cycle times of SFW were also evaluated and compared to production rate cycle times of RSW.

Friction Bit Joining of 5754 Aluminum to DP980 Ultra-High Strength Steel: A Feasibility StudyWeickum, Britney 07 July 2011 (has links) (PDF)
In this study, the dissimilar metals 5754 aluminum and DP980 ultra-high strength steel were joined using the friction bit joining (FBJ) process. The friction bits were made using one of three steels: 4140, 4340, or H13. Experiments were performed in lap shear, T-peel, and cross tension configurations, with the 0.070" thick 5754 aluminum alloy as the top layer through which the friction bit cut, and the 0.065" thick DP980 as the bottom layer to which the friction bit welded. All experiments were performed using a computer controlled welding machine that was purpose-built and provided by MegaStir Technologies. Through a series of designed experiments (DOE), weld processing parameters were varied and controlled to determine which parameters had a significant effect on weld strength at a 95% confidence level. The parameters that were varied included spindle rotational speeds, Z-command depths, Z-velocity plunge rates, dwell times, and friction bit geometry. Maximum lap shear weld strengths were calculated to be 1425.4lbf and were to be obtained using a bit tip length at 0.175", tip diameter at 0.245", neck diameter at 0.198", cutting and welding z-velocities at 2.6"/min, cutting and welding RPMs at 550 and 2160 respectively, cutting and welding z-commands at -0.07" and -0.12" respectively, cooling dwell at 500 ms, and welding dwell at 1133.8 ms. These parameters were further refined to reduce the weld creation time to 1.66 seconds. These parameters also worked well in conjunction with an adhesive to form weld bonded samples. The uncured adhesive had no effect on the lap shear strengths of the samples. Using the parameters described above, it was discovered that cross tension and T-peel samples suffered from shearing within the bit that caused the samples to break underneath the flange of the bit during testing. Visual inspection of sectioned welds indicated the presence of cracking and void zones within the bit.

Projection Nut Welding to High- and Ultra-high Strength Steels / Muttersvetsning av hög- och ultrahöghållfast stålEnglund, Love January 2023 (has links)
In an effort to increase the fuel efficiency of cars more widespread use of higher strength steels is seen for their high strength-to-weight ratio. Thesesteels are more limited in their formability and tendency to harden than conventional steels, complicating manufacturing. This thesis summarizes the available research on resistance projection nut welding to higher strength steels and investigates the accuracy of the simulation program SORPAS when simulating projection nut welds to AlSi-coated Boron steel. It was found that the greatest difficulties in welding coated ultra high strength steels were the metallurgical effects of both the high alloying content of the steel and the coatings interacting with the weld when melting. Although SORPAS was an intuitive program to use for resistance welding and had a wide library of materials available, it was not found to be able to predict the resistance characteristics or results of projection nut welds to coated Boron steel without significant changes to default material parameters. The biggest issue was the delaying effect the coating layer had on the peak resistance, something not observed experimentally. Better results are suggested to be possible after experimentally ensuring the properties of the materials used and importing those values into SORPAS. / I ett försök att öka bilars bränsleeffektivitet används i allt större utsträckning stål med högre hållfasthet på grund av deras goda förhållande mellan styrka och vikt. Dessa stål är mer begränsade i sin formbarhet och tendens att härda än konventionella stål, vilket försvårar tillverkning. Denna uppsats sammanfattar den tillgängliga forskningen om motståndssvetsning med projektionsmutter i höghållfasta stål och undersöker noggrannheten hos simuleringsprogrammet SORPAS vid simulering av projektionsmuttersvetsar i AlSi-belagt borstål. Det konstaterades att de största svårigheterna vid svetsning av belagda ultrahöghållfasta stål var de metallurgiska effekterna av både stålets höga legeringsinnehåll och beläggningarnas interaktion med svetsen vid smältning. Trots att SORPAS var ett intuitivt program att använda för motståndssvetsning och hade ett brett bibliotek av tillgängliga material kunde det inte förutsäga motståndsegenskaperna eller resultaten av projektionsmuttersvetsar mot belagt borstål utan betydande förändringar av standardmaterialparametrarna. Det största problemet var den fördröjande effekt som beläggningsskiktet hade på maximala resistansen, något som inte observerades experimentellt. Bättre överenstämmelse föreslås vara möjlig efter att experimentellt säkerställa egenskaperna hos de material som används och importera dessa värden till SORPAS.
