Solid state diffusion bonding (DB) of Ti-6Al-4V and AISI 304 were studied in the temperature range of 600-1000°C with a constant pressure of 12 MPa and holding time of 60 minutes. Micro hardness measurements and the lap shear test were carried out to determine the hardness and strength of the joints respectively. Maximum lap shear strength of 138 MPa was attained in the joint that was diffusion bonded using a temperature of 900°C, holding time of 60 min and a bonding pressure of 12 MPa. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the grain growth and the fine details of the interface structure.Keywords

AA6061-T6 aluminium alloy (AlMgSi alloy) has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of light weight structures requiring a high strength-to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. Compared to the fusion welding processes that are routinely used for joining structural aluminium alloys, friction stir welding (FSW) process is an emerging solid state joining process in which the material that is being welded does not melt and recast. The FSW process and tool parameters play a major role in deciding the joint strength. In this paper relationship between the FSW parameters (tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial force, shoulder diameter, pin diameter and tool hardness) and the tensile strength of the joint was established. Statistical tools such as analysis of variance (ANOVA), response surface methodology (RSM) were used to optimize the FSW parameters. A sensitivity analysis is carried out and compared the relative impact of input parameters on tensile strength in order to verify the measurement errors on the values of the uncertainty in estimated parameters.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is used to overcome the issues in fusion welding of DP-1000 steel such as softening in heat affected zone (HAZ), solidification cracking, high thermal residual stresses and distortion. The main objective of this investigation is to develop the empirical relationships to predict the tensile shear fracture load bearing capability of spot joints for automotive applications. The three factor – three level box-behnken design (3X3-BBD) consisting ofless experiments was chosen for developing the experimental matrix. The lap tensile shear fracture load (LAP-TSFL) and cross tensile shear fracture load (CROSS-TSFL) tests were performed to determine the load bearing capability of spot joints. The empirical relationships of LAP-TSFL and CROSS-TSFL of spot joints were developed using polynomial regression equations incorporating the process parameters in coded form. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was executed to check the viability of developed empirical relationships for LAP-TSFL and CROSS-TSFL. The empirical relationship accurately predicted the LAP-TSFL and CROSS-TSFL capability of spot joints with less than 1% error at 95% confidence level.Keywords

In the present investigation, the effect and role of plasma gas flow rate on the formation of microstructure during plasma arc welding of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy were studied using microscopic observation, energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis, tensile tests and microhardness measurements. Plasma gas flow rate influences the arc pressure, arc constriction, and stability. The transformation of plasma arc from conduction mode to keyhole mode causes severe changes to the microstructural characteristics of the titanium welds. This transformation takes place with slight variations of PGFR. Weld geometries increase with an increase in the PGFR. The microstructural examination shows that there are various phases formed during the variation in PGFR. Fusion zone had acicular α and widmanstätten α. Mechanical properties (i.e) strength and hardness of the joints increase with an increase in plasma gas flow rate. In the joint welded with 1 L/min, there is the formation of α-case which is an oxygen rich brittle subsurface structure and found detrimental to the ductility of the joints.Keywords
