The Critical Energy Release Rate of Welded Joints Between Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics and Metals When Thermal Residual Stress is Considered

Thermal effects on welded joints between fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRTPs) and metals have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Because FRTPs use thermoplastics as the matrix resin, they have advantages over fiber-reinforced thermoset plastics (FRPs or FRSPs), including the ability to be welded. When dissimilar materials are welded together, however, thermal stress occurs due to the different thermal expansions of the materials and affects the energy release rate of the joint. Therefore, a method for evaluating the true energy release rate, including the effect of thermal stress, is necessary for strength evaluation tests. Although several theories that compensate for the thermal stress and evaluate the true energy release rate have already been proposed, they require parameters that are difficult to measure. Therefore, it is difficult to apply them in experimental investigations. In this article, a theoretical method with easily measurable parameters is proposed to calculate the energy release rate of welded double cantilever beam (DCB) joints. The effect of the thermal stress on the critical energy release rate is discussed in terms of the experimental results of a welded DCB specimen composed of a FRTP and an aluminum alloy.

A study on port plug distortion caused by narrow gap combined GTAW & SMAW and Electron Beam Welding

A study of port plug distortion resulting from narrow gap combined GTAW & SMAW and Electron Beam Welding was carried out. Thermomechanical finite element analysis of port plug becomes virtually impossible because of the requirement of huge number of nodes and elements. Hence an analysis method based on the concept of inherent strain was used in this work. The computational time required was about 40-50 min only in a Core (TM) 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz computer with 2 GB RAM, which otherwise was not possible with other conventional computation techniques. As was expected the overall distortion due to EB welding was found to be less compared to that of narrow gap GTAW & SMAW.

Theoretical and empirical assessment of evaluation methods of the electric charge transference in welding with covered electrodes

The present work is based on an assessment of experimentally obtained results from the application of different methods of evaluation, reported in the specialised literature, of the electrical charge transference stability in the arc. A simple factorial design, taking the welding current as independent variable, was applied to the process with an AWS A5.1 E6013 electrode. The welds were carried out in the flat position by a gravity device. It was possible to obtain criteria to classify the electrical charge transference stability of the process by digital signal processing and a statistical technique. The outcome was based on visual inspection and morphologic studies. It was concluded that amongst the considered parameters, the average value of the arc conductivity during reignition peaks and the quantity of reignition peaks are the more representative indices, both from statistics and from phenomenological points of view. This finding is validated by the fact that the bead morphology and the stability analysis of the electrical charge transference process coincides with the fact that the 160 A (for 4 mm-diameter electrodes) is the most stable regime.
