Impact Mechanism of Multiple Major Welding Parameters on Mechanical Properties of Laser Brazing Lap Joint of Galvanized Steel for Vehicle2017-01-50109/22/2017
In order to research the effect of process parameters (laser power, welding speed, wire-feed speed, spot diameter) on mechanical properties of Zn-coated Steel Laser Brazing Lap Joint for vehicle, the influence of welding parameters on energy input of brazing seam cross section was theoretically analyzed, and then a great number of laser brazing experiments of 0.7mm galvanized steel was carried out. After that, the tensile strength and micro-hardness tests were also done for well-formed joints of galvanized steel formed in the laser brazing. The results show that joints with good mechanical properties and surface morphology can be formed when laser power is in the range of 2500-3200W and the other parameters keep in a specified range. Joint performance significantly reduces when the value of wire-feed speed exceeds 3.0m/min for that a wider brazing seam cross section can’t be formed. And tensile strength of the joint drops steeply when welding speed exceeds 50mm/s, because the solid-liquid surface tension between the brazing filler metal and the base metal increases. When the spot diameter increases within the appropriate range, the decrease of the energy density slows down the cooling rate of the brazing filler metal, which makes the mechanical properties of the brazing seam maintain a good condition. Moreover, under the same welding parameters, the micro-hardness anywhere inside the weld joint is uniform, which testifies the mechanical performance of the brazing seam is safe and stable.

Process Robustness of Laser Braze-Welded Al/Cu Connectors2016-01-11984/5/2016
Laser welding of dissimilar metals such as Aluminum and Copper, which is required for Li-ion battery joining, is challenging due to the inevitable formation of the brittle and high electrical-resistant intermetallic compounds. Recent research has shown that by using a novel technology, called laser braze-welding, the Al-Cu intermetallics can be minimized to achieve superior mechanical and electrical joint performance. This paper investigates the robustness of the laser braze-welding process. Three product and process categories, i.e. choice of materials, joint configurations, and process conditions, are studied. It is found that in-process effects such as sample cleanness and shielding gas fluctuations have a minor influence on the process robustness. Furthermore, many pre-process effects, e.g. design changes such as multiple layers or anodized base material can be successfully welded by process adaption. The minimization of the interface gap is identified as the most significant influence of process stability. The specimen were validated by mechanical lap shear tests and metallographic analysis.

Improved Design and Fabrication of Hydrated-Salt PillsTBMG-1187011/1/2011
A high-performance design, and fabrication and growth processes to implement the design, have been devised for encapsulating a hydrated salt in a container that both protects the salt and provides thermal conductance between the salt and the environment surrounding the container. The unitary salt/container structure is known in the art as a salt pill. In the original application of the present design and processes, the salt is, more specifically, a hydrated paramagnetic salt, for use as a refrigerant in a very-low-temperature adiabatic-demagnetization refrigerator (ADR). The design and process can also be applied, with modifications, to other hydrated salts.

Miniature Incandescent Lamps as Fiber-Optic Light SourcesTBMG-29627/1/2008
Miniature incandescent lamps of a special type have been invented to satisfy a need for compact, rapid- response, rugged, broadband, power- efficient, fiber-optic- coupled light sources for diverse purposes that could include calibrating spectrometers, interrogating optical sensors, spot illumination, and spot heating. A lamp of this type (see figure) includes a re-entrant planar spiral filament mounted within a ceramic package heretofore normally used to house an integrated-circuit chip. The package is closed with a window heretofore normally used in ultraviolet illumination to erase volatile electronic memories. The size and shape of the filament and the proximity of the filament to the window are such that light emitted by the filament can be coupled efficiently to an optical fiber without intervening optics.

A New High Strength CAB Evaporator Plate Alloy with High Corrosion Resistance2005-01-20365/10/2005
A new evaporator plate alloy identified as FA7857 has been developed by Sapa. This alloy which is intended for CAB brazing, has been developed to meet the market needs for a material with good formability prior to brazing and a low susceptibility to filler liquid core penetration (sometimes termed LFM) during brazing. The excellent formability in the annealed condition, with an elongation of 26% and an Erichsen cup height of 9.2mm, makes this material highly suitable for pre-stretching prior to evaporator plate forming and brazing. An appropriate pre-stretch is 5% which eliminates the risk of LFM, while improving the uniformity of flow of the filler metal and the final corrosion performance. In SWAAT corrosion tests, brazed samples of the two-side clad sheet remained unperforated after 42 days of testing. These excellent corrosion properties combined with a material yield strength of 53MPa in the post-brazed condition will contribute to the production of a more durable, lighter weight evaporator.

Combined Welding-Brazing Process for Joining AluminumSteel-Tailored Blanks with High Power Laser Sources2002-01-20097/9/2002
The use of high power laser sources (CO2) enables the joining of aluminum and zinc-coated steel sheets in butt configuration, using a combined welding-brazing process. Comparable to conventional thermal joining technologies, like resistance spot welding, intermetallic phases are formed in the contact zone leading to a decrease of the mechanical properties of the joint. With locally restricted energy input and high joining speeds the formation of these phases can be minimized to a none critical level. For the characterization of the seam morphology optical, X-ray and electron microscopy examinations have been carried out, demonstrating a phase layer thickness of about 2 μm. In mechanical tests, fracture stresses of 144 N/mm2 have been achieved.

Joining of P/M Components1999-01-08893/1/1999
The successful integration of P/M into a large number of subassemblies can depend on the ability to join P/M components to each other and to wrought materials. Common methods of joining metal components, such as brazing and welding, can give unexpected results when applied to P/M. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the joining of P/M components of varying hardenability, density, and composition using friction welding, high speed pulse welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and brazing. The joints are evaluated using ultimate strength, microhardness, and microstructure. The results show that solid state process, such as high speed pulse welding and friction welding are applicable to all but the highest hardenability materials. Gas tungsten arc welding has less applicability due to crack formation upon cooling. Brazing is generally applicable with most P/M materials assuming a suitable filler metal is selected.

Liquid Film Migration During Aluminum Brazing9718485/19/1997
The effects are described in aluminum brazing of a phenomenon known as Liquid Film Migration (LFM). This is primarily encountered when -O temper parts are formed and subsequently brazed. If the combination of material homogenization, alloy and cold work is such that the material does not recrystallize totally before the brazing temperature is reached, then the system begins to equilibrate by rapid solid state diffusional processes. These create a moving liquid interface which sweeps from the clad/core interface into the core of the material. This causes significant compositional changes in the volume through which the liquid film passes. Reduced brazeability (filler metal flow) results from the rapid diffusion of silicon into the core. Additionally, a coarse band of intermetallics is formed upon solidification of the enriched liquid zone which can impair corrosion resistance.

Mechanisms of Liquid Film Migration (LFM) in Aluminum Brazing Sheet9718495/19/1997
The phenomenon of liquid film migration (LFM) in aluminum brazing is described in a companion paper [1]. To clarify the mechanism, the effect of core alloy homogenization, cold work prior to brazing, and brazing temperature on the LFM kinetics has been studied. Based on microstructures, LFM kinetics, and concentration profile data, factors influencing the migration rate of liquid films have been analyzed. Several possible driving forces for LFM are proposed: (1) coherency strain energy, (2) reduction of particle/matrix interfacial energy, and (3) reduction of energy in recovered dislocation structure or subgrain boundaries in the case of lightly cold worked brazing sheet.

Prefluxed Aluminum Tube for Brazed Automotive Heat Exchangers9501162/1/1995
Provision of a thin layer of zinc on aluminium to provide the fillets during brazing has been described previously [1]. The process for zinc coating of the extruded aluminium multiport tubes has been further enhanced by utilisation of the zinc layer to carry flux for subsequent brazing operations, thereby making it possible to produce brazed heat exchanger assemblies utilising the thin zinc layer, without the need for a separate fluxing operation prior to brazing. The flux is applied directly onto the molten zinc coating where it becomes mechanically locked in position when the zinc freezes. Because of this action, the flux cannot be easily dislodged, unlike other techniques where powdered flux has been sprayed directly upon the aluminium tube surface or a fused flux has been applied to the tube surface. The prefluxed product can readily be handled and subjected to simple forming operations without dislodging the flux. Flux can be adhered to zinc coatings as thin as two micrometers and below, which is somewhat lower than required for the zinc-based joining process but, in this form, the flux layer is suitable for enhancement of conventional Al: Si brazing technology. In this case, the zinc is diffused into the aluminium tube wall during brazing to provide enhanced corrosion resistance. When the flux is applied to a heavier zinc coating, the need for Al:Si brazing is avoided, with the zinc providing the braze fillets through diffusion and partial melting of the diffused layer at normal braze temperatures. The technology also offers potential for brazing in normal air rather than nitrogen atmospheres and more simplified braze cycles can be used, where the need to drive off water from the flux is reduced. It also has the added advantage that the flux is carried directly into the joint area where it will melt and act in situ obviating the requirement to melt and flow into the joints to become effective during brazing. Furthermore, the need to apply extra flux to certain joint areas can be eliminated.
