2. 1. Challenges in Resistance Welding of Ultra High Strength Steels

   Author : Erik Tolf; Arne Melander; Zuheir Barsoum; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Resistance welding; spot welding; surface cracks; nut welding; UHSS; projection welding; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : Increasing the use of Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS) in vehicle bodystructures is important for reducing weight and cutting CO2 emissions. This thesis investigates challenges in resistance welding that can be a barrier to implementing UHSS as a replacement for low strength steels in vehicle structures. READ MORE

4. 2. Conduction laser welding : modelling of melt pool with free surface deformation

   Author : Josefine Svenungsson; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Conduction laser welding; numerical modelling; Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; free surface deformation; melt pool; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : Laser welding is commonly used in the automotive-, steel- and aerospace industry. It is a highly non-linear and coupled process where the weld geometry is strongly affected by the flow pattern in the melt pool. Experimental observations are challenging since the melt pool and melt flow below the surface are not yet accessible during welding. READ MORE

5. 3. A Framework for optimised welding of fatigue loaded structures : Applied to gas metal arc welding of fillet welds

   Author : Erik Åstrand; Gunnar Bolmsjö; Fredrik Sikström; Heikki Remes; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GMAW; Fatigue; Welding procedures; Fillet welds; Weld quality; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Laser welding : energy redistribution and weld geometry

   Author : Conny Lampa; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material Mechanics; Materialmekanik;

   Abstract : Over the past few years laser welding has developed into a process which has a wide range of application over a number of industries. Industrial growth in this area has been stimulated by improvements in production rates and quality but technologically the process is still not fully understood. READ MORE

7. 5. Microstructure model for Ti-6Al-4V used in simulation of additive manufacturing

   Author : Corinne Charles Murgau; Lars-Erik Lindgren; Niklas Järvstråt; Robert Pederson; Sören Sjöström; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium alloy; Ti-6Al-4V; Welding; Metal deposition; Additive manufacturing; Wire feed; Finite Element Method; Microstructure model; Johnson-Mehl-Avrami- Kolmogorov; Thermally driven; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik; Material Mechanics;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to microstructure modelling of Ti-6Al-4V. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of titanium alloys are highly dependent on the temperature history experienced by the material. The developed microstructure model accounts for thermaldriving forces and is applicable for general temperature histories. READ MORE
