The Welding of Aluminium and its Alloys is a practical user's guide to all aspects of welding aluminium and aluminium alloys. It provides a basic understanding of the metallurgical principles involved showing how alloys achieve their strength and how the process of welding can affect these properties. The book is intended to provide engineers with perhaps little prior understanding of metallurgy and only a brief acquaintance with the welding processes involved with a concise and effective reference to the subject.It is intended as a practical guide for the Welding Engineer and covers weldability of aluminium alloys; process descriptions, advantages, limitations, proposed weld parameters, health and safety issues; preparation for welding, quality assurance and quality control issues along with problem solving.The book includes sections on parent metal storage and preparation prior to welding. It describes the more frequently encountered processes and has recommendations on welding parameters that may be used as a starting point for the development of a viable welding procedure. Included in these chapters are hints and tips to avoid some of the pitfalls of welding these sometimes-problematic materials. The content is both descriptive and qualitative. The author has avoided the use of mathematical expressions to describe the effects of welding.This book is essential reading for welding engineers, production engineers, production managers, designers and shop-floor supervisors involved in the aluminium fabrication industry. A practical user's guide by a respected expert to all aspects of welding of aluminium Designed to be easily understood by the non-metallurgist whilst covering the most necessary metallurgical aspects Demonstrates best practice in fabricating aluminium structures
Finite element analysis (FEA) sheds a gap between challenge and innovation in technological evolution. It is proven to be a powerful analysis tool in evaluating the functionality of product design and continued to fuel the R&D in various manufacturing industries for estimation of structural strength and behavior, modelling, simulation, and design optimization. This scenario opens up a great opportunity for us exploring practical and integrated approaches that appreciate the purposes of finite element programs on the market. Perfect for engineering student, professionals or scholars, this book offers practical and comprehensive documentation that combines finite element theory with the practices in helping readers to develop overall competency with the software. Topics covered include an introduction to standard graphical user interface (GUI) features, additional insight on Mechanical APDL commands and other advanced features in ANSYS Workbench environment. This book also provides step-by-step tutorials on related topics, which prepares the reader to focus on the fundamental technique in developing and interpreting FEA models. Easy to understand, simple and straight-forwards examples, make this book a good start to transform a novice to mastery of ANSYS.
Local melting and tool slippage during friction stir spot welding of different aluminum alloys is examined using a combination of detailed microscopy and temperature measurement. It has been widely accepted that friction stir welding is a solid-state process and does not involve melting. The present research indicates that local melting is an inherent feature when Al 7075 and Al 2024 alloys are spot welded, and produces tool slippage at the tool contact interface. In contrast, intermetallic particles contained in the Al 5754 and Al 6061 as-received materials do not melt and a no-slip condition is maintained. A combination of data acquisition of key welding parameters (axial force, torque and tool displacement), high-speed imaging, temperature measurement and metallography are employed to study the tool penetration stage and the subsequent dwell period during spot welding. A methodology is developed for reliably determining the stir zone temperature using thermocouples embedded within the tool itself. Tool slippage is investigated by determining the strain rate in stir zone material adjacent to the rotating tool. The strain rate is estimated by substituting stir zone temperature and subgrain size measurements into the Zener-Hollomon equation. Tool penetration early in the friction stir spot welding process can be explained as a progression of wear events from mild (delamination) wear, through to severe wear, and finally to melt wear in the material located immediately under the tip of the rotating pin. The stir zone peak temperature during welding is limited by either the solidus temperature of the alloy in question, or by local melting of intermetallic particles contained in the base material such as Al 7075 or Al 2024 alloys. Melted films dissolve rapidly in the high temperature stir zone, and as the weld cools to room temperature. Metallographic evidence confirming local melting and cracking is observed in Al 7075 and Al 2024 alloy friction stir spot welds made using a combination of rapid quenching, a high plunge rate and an extremely short dwell time setting. When slower plunge rates and longer dwell times are applied the dissolution of the melted films removes evidence of their occurrence.
This is the third in a series of compendiums devoted to the subject of weld hot cracking. It contains 22 papers presented at the 3rd International Hot Cracking Workshop in Columbus, Ohio USA in March 2010. In the context of this workshop, the term “hot cracking” refers to elevated temperature cracking associated with either the weld metal or heat-affected zone. These hot cracking phenomena include weld solidification cracking, HAZ and weld metal liquation cracking, and ductility-dip cracking. The book is divided into three major sections based on material type; specifically aluminum alloys, steels, and nickel-base alloys. Each of these sections begins with a keynote paper from prominent researchers in the field: Dr. Sindo Kou from the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Thomas Böllinghaus from BAM and the University of Magdeburg, and Dr. John DuPont from Lehigh University. The papers contained within include the latest insight into the mechanisms associated with hot cracking in these materials and methods to prevent cracking through material selection, process modification, or other means. The three Hot Cracking Phenomena in Welds compendiums combined contain a total of 64 papers and represent the best collection of papers on the topic of hot cracking ever assembled.
Lightweight alloys have become of great importance in engineering for construction of transportation equipment. At present, the metals that serve as the base of the principal light alloys are aluminum and magnesium. One of the most important lightweight alloys are the aluminum alloys in use for several applications (structural components wrought aluminum alloys, parts and plates). However, some casting parts that have low cost of production play important role in aircraft parts. Magnesium and its alloys are among the lightest of all metals and the sixth most abundant metal on earth. Magnesium is ductile and the most machinable of all metals. Many of these light weight alloys have appropriately high strength to warrant their use for structural purposes, and as a result of their use, the total weight of transportation equipment has been considerably decreased.
