�۱����CLF-1 ����316L ��TIG ���ӽ�ͷ��֯�����ܳ����о�

A preliminary study of microstructure and properties of the welded joint of low activation CLF-1 steel used for fusion reactor and 316L dissimilar metal by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding using W19123L as filler material, has been performed. The welded joint forming is proved well and without defect. The welded joint consists of CLF-1 zone [base metal (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ), fusion zone (FZ)], inside layer (IL), weld zone (WZ), and 316L zone (BM, HAZ, FZ). Tensile strength of the joint is better than the base metal minimum value in room temperature. Both surfaces of welded joint are without crack and with deformation uniformity under the bending test. The distribution of impact value of the joint is concave-like and satisfies the designed values for the welded joint, the WZ’s value is the lowest, the HAZ’s of both WZ zones is the second, the BM’s was the best, and the 316L steel zone’s is slightly larger than the CLF-1 zone’s. The hardness values of the point under the 1.6mm top surface of welded joint have a larger fluctuation range, and is slightly higher than those of 1/2T and above down surface 1.6mm position. The hardness distribution of 1/2T and above the down surface 1.6mm position is roughly uniform, and has a downward trend from the CLF-1 zone to 316L zone. Welding properties generally has remained stable and satisfy the requirement of dissimilar steel welding performance matching.

Interface microstructure and mechanical properties of laser welding copper–steel dissimilar joint

Relatively the high reflectivity of copper to CO₂ laser led to the difficulty in joining copper to steel using laser welding. In this paper, a new method was proposed to complete the copper–steel laser butt welding. The scarf joint geometry was used, i.e., the sides of the copper and steel were in obtuse and acute angles, respectively. During the welding process, the laser beam was fixed on the steel side and the dilution ratio of copper to steel was controlled by properly selecting the deviation of the laser beam. The offset of laser beam depended on the scarf angle between the copper and steel, the thickness of plate and the processing parameters used in the laser welding. The microstructure near the interface between Cu plate and the intermixing zone was investigated. Experimental results showed that for the welded joint with high dilution ratio of copper, there was a transition zone with numerous filler particles near the interface. However, if the dilution ratio of copper is low, the transition zone is only generated near the upper side of the interface. At the lower side of the interface, the turbulent bursting behavior in the welding pool led to the penetration of liquid metal into Cu. The welded joint with lower dilution ratio of copper in the fusion zone exhibited higher tensile strength. On the bases of the microstructural evaluation at the interface of the welded joint, a physical model was proposed to describe the formation mechanism of the dissimilar joint with low dilution ratio of copper.     

Parametric optimisation and microstructural analysis on high power Yb-fibre laser welding of Ti–6Al–4V

In this work thin sheets of Ti–6Al–4V were full penetration welded using a 5 kW fibre laser in order to evaluate the effectiveness of high power fibre laser as a welding processing tool for welding Ti–6Al–4V with the requirements of the aircraft industry and to determine the effect of welding parameters including laser power, welding speed and beam focal position on the weld microstructure, bead profile and weld quality. It involved establishing an understanding of the influence of welding parameters on microstructural change, welding defects, and the characteristics of heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal (WM) of fibre laser welded joints. The optimum range of welding parameters which produced welds without cracking and porosity were identified. The influence of the welding parameters on the weld joint heterogeneity was characterised by conducting detailed microstructural analysis.     

Welding of gold nanowires with different joining procedures

Welding of single-crystal metallic nanowires is likely to have an important role in the bottom-up fabrication of nanodevices. The welding effects of free ends of two single-crystal gold nanowires (Au–Au) were demonstrated by Monte Carlo simulations in this paper. The quantum corrected Sutton–Chen type many-body potential was used to model the metal–metal interactions. Metallic nanowires were first placed closely with head-to-head, head-to-side and side-to-side joining procedures. Two ends were successfully welded together to form a continuous nanowire by annealing at different temperatures. The welding effects of the different joining procedure with different temperatures were compared. Structures of the welded specimens were characterized by the common neighbor analysis technique. Variable atomic mobility, freedom and contacting angles may result in different bonding strengths in the three different configurations. The results showed that the joint structure welded at low temperature were similar to the cold welding without fusion meanwhile the molten phase was presented in the joint when processing at the high temperatures.

Dissimilar autogenous full penetration welding of superalloy K418 and 42CrMo steel by a high power CW Nd:YAG laser

Experiments of autogenous laser full penetration welding between dissimilar cast Ni-based superalloy K418 and alloy steel 42CrMo flat plates with 3.5 mm thickness were conducted using a 3 kW continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser. The influences of laser welding velocity, flow rate of side-blow shielding gas, defocusing distance were investigated. Microstructure of the welded seam was characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Mechanical properties of the welded seam were evaluated by microhardness and tensile strength testing. Results show that high quality full penetration laser-welded joint can be obtained by optimizing the welding velocity, flow rate of shielding gas and defocusing distance. The laser-welded seam have non-equilibrium solidified microstructures consisting of γ-FeCr_0.29Ni_0.16C_0.06 austenite solid solution dendrites as the dominant and very small amount of super-fine dispersed Ni₃Al γ′ phase and Laves particles as well as MC needle-like carbides distributed in the interdendritic regions. Although the microhardness of the laser-welded seam was lower than that of the base metal, the strength of the joint was equal to that of the base metal and the fracture mechanism showed fine ductility.     

Effect of welding speed on butt joint quality of Ti–6Al–4V alloy welded using a high-power Nd:YAG laser

Annealed Ti–6Al–4V alloy sheets with 1 and 2 mm thickness are welded using a 4 kW Nd:YAG laser system. The effects of welding speed on surface morphology and shape, welding defects, microstructure, hardness and tensile properties are investigated. Weld joints without or with minor cracks, porosity and shape defects were obtained indicating that high-power Nd:YAG laser welding is a suitable method for Ti–6Al–4V alloy. The fusion zone consists mainly of acicular α′ martensite leading to an increase of approximately 20% in hardness compared with that in the base metal. The heat-affected zone consists of a mixture of α′ martensite and primary α phases. Significant gradients of microstructures and hardness are obtained over the narrow heat-affected zone. The laser welded joints have similar or slightly higher joint strength but there is a significant decrease in ductility. The loss of ductility is related to the presence of micropores and aluminum oxide inclusions.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of silver nanocrystals in benzyl alcohol and their subsequent in situ chemical transformation into Ag–AgCl nanohybrids for plasmonic photocatalysis

In heterostructured metal–semiconductor system, plasmonic metal nanostructures can cooperate with semiconductors to enhance the solar light harness and energy conversion. In this study, we report on the plasmonically photocatalytic system constructed by in situ growth of semiconductor on metal nanostructures with high performance and stability. A facile and rapid microwave-assisted route was first explored to synthesize Ag nanocrystals, and subsequently converting them to Ag–AgCl nanohybrids was realized by in situ chemical transformation strategy at room temperature. These Ag–AgCl nanohybrids were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. The resulting Ag–AgCl nanohybrids showed remarkable photocatalytic activity and excellent durability for the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation. This finding provides a new way to improve photocatalytic efficiency through controllable chemical transformation.

Concurrent laser welding and annealing exploiting robotically manipulated optical fibers

Present investigation reports on the effects of incorporating pre- and post-heating on the mechanical properties of laser-welded joints, in normal air condition. Two common types of steels, i.e. mild steel, and stainless steel were welded with Lumonic's MS 830 Nd³⁺:YAG laser machine, with an output capacity of 400 W. Due to the low integrated energy input required for laser welded joints, the welded region are often cooled too rapidly via conduction to the surrounding material and atmosphere, which leads to hardness discontinuities in the fusion and heat affected zone. The effects of in-process laser annealing on the mechanical properties and microstructure of laser-welded joints are important in any manufacturing operation. To improve the poor weld characteristics, this work investigates the use of automated dual-beam delivery system to implement a pre- or post-heating technique, simultaneously with the welding process. The results show that proper selection of the control parameters for the pre- or post-heating can reduce the hardness of the weld significantly and improve the welded joints mechanical properties, such as higher tensile strength and better durability.     

Ultrathin‐Carbon‐Layer‐Protected PtCu Nanoparticles Encapsulated in Carbon Capsules: A Structure Engineering of the Anode Electrocatalyst for Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cells

Structure engineering is an effective strategy to enhance the performance of electrocatalysts for the formic acid oxidation reaction. However, it remains a challenge to prepare a highly active electrocatalyst based on a distinct understanding of its structure‐dependent performance. The design and synthesis of ultrathin‐carbon‐layer‐protected PtCu nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated in a N‐doped carbon capsule (PtCu@NCC) is reported. This system is fabricated by using Zn‐based metal–organic frameworks as the carbon support source and metal‐containing tannic acid as the protecting shell template. It displays 9.8‐ and 9.6‐fold enhancements in mass activity and specific activity compared to commercial Pt/C. Moreover, a constructed direct formic acid fuel cell using PtCu@NCC as the anodic electrocatalyst delivers a maximum power density of 121 mW cm^?2. Significantly, PtCu@NCC exhibits superior structural stability and catalytic durability in both half‐cell and full‐cell tests. A mechanism study reveals that the enhanced activity is partially attributed to facilitated electro‐oxidation kinetics of formic acid in the unique structure of PtCu@NCC, while the excellent durability stems from the “protecting effect” of the in‐situ‐formed ultrathin carbon layer on the surface of the PtCu NPs. This work opens a new avenue for the development of high‐performance electrocatalysts for fuel‐cell applications by offering essential insights into the structure–performance relationship of the materials.     

Comparative analysis of the structure of metal in the arc and laser welding of cryogenic steel

A comparative study of the structure of joints produced by arc and laser welding with austenitic nitrogen-containing cryogenic Cr–Ni–Mn steel is performed.

It is shown that laser welding results in better structure-sensitive characteristics of welded joints than arc welding.     

Comparison of microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-narrow gap laser and gas-metal-arc welded S960 high strength steel

The microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties, including micro-hardness, tensile properties, three-point bending properties and Charpy impact toughness at different test temperatures of 8 mm thick S960 high strength steel plates were investigated following their joining by multi-pass ultra-narrow gap laser welding (NGLW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) techniques. It was found that the microstructure in the fusion zone (FZ) for the ultra-NGLW joint was predominantly martensite mixed with some tempered martensite, while the FZ for the GMAW joint was mainly consisted of ferrite with some martensite. The strength of the ultra-NGLW specimens was comparable to that of the base material (BM), with all welded specimens failed in the BM in the tensile tests. The tensile strength of the GMAW specimens was reduced approximately by 100 MPa when compared with the base material by a broad and soft heat affected zone (HAZ) with failure located in the soft HAZ. Both the ultra-NGLW and GMAW specimens performed well in three-point bending tests. The GMAW joints exhibited better impact toughness than the ultra-NGLW joints.
