7 Abstract The fusion welding processes have historically been, and are today, commonly used in the manufacture of automotive structures. Recent increased usage of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) in automotive designs posed a desire to evaluate the application of fusion welding processes relative to the joining of AHSS. This project establishes suitable welding parameters for AHSS material iterations (DP600, DP780, DP800, DP980 and HSLA350). Material section thicknesses ranged from 1.0mm to 3.4mm. Five fusion welding processes (GMAW-Pulse/AC, GMAW- Pulse/DC, Laser-GMAW, Laser, and Laser-Plasma) were examined in this operation. Special consideration was given to the acceptance criteria for this project s welds. The standards of General Motors, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler were reviewed and a derivative acceptance standard was established for this study. Hardness/Metallographic, Impact, and Yield/Tensile properties related to the resulting weldments are presented as the results of this investigation. The primary conclusions of this study can be summarized as: AHSS materials were successfully joined with the processes studied. Weld processes utilizing filler material demonstrated better results than processes with no filler material. Laser welded lap joints generally failed in the weld metal, while GMAW fillet joints generally failed in the heat affected zone. Filler material/electrode strength had no direct effect on the weldment strength. Material strength and/or thickness gauge had no influence on laser welded joint strength. Zinc coated materials demonstrated high levels of porosity without a controlled/ engineered gap. Page 6 of 75

8 Project Background This project was conducted to analyze the application of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) 1, Laser and Hybrid welds made in several combinations of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) proposed by A/SP Focus groups for use in Auto body structural components. Four grades of steel selected for use in high performance structural components were tested. Table 1 shows the nominal material grades and coatings. All material grades are expressed as Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) in MPa except the HSLA 350 which is purchased based on Yield Strength (Y). Materials were supplied to the test facilities from A/SP steel partners sample inventory. Tables elsewhere may show values slightly different that the nominal values shown in table 1. For example, DP 590 shown in physical data tables supplied by test labs is test material DP 600 nominal. Table 1: Material Grades, Gage and Coating. Material Grade Purchased Gage (mm) Coating Designation HSLA 350 (Y) 3.2 None HSLA 350 (Y) 1.38 GI DP None DP GI DP GA DP GA DP GA DP GA DP GA GA = Galvanneal, GI = HDG ( HOT DIP GALVANIZED) Coating weight was 40g/m 2 for galvanneal, 60g/m 2 for GI The objective of this project was to, using five single sided weld process variations, determine suitable welding parameters for the supplied AHSS materials, and test a specified number of Micro-hardness/Metallographic, Impact, and Tensile-Shear sample weldments. Test specimens were prepared from the materials to collect data for static shear, micro-hardness, and impact energy. The sample preparation matrix is shown in Table 5. Processes and equipment were selected to represent both conventional robotically applied body shop welding practices used today and advanced processes that could potentially be used for single side welding of the selected materials. 1 GMAW is the AWS standard term for welding often referred to as MIG welding Page 7 of 75

9 GMAW, Laser and Plasma equipment used to for fabricating test samples was commercially available and considered qualified by prove-out in other production applications. Members of the A/SP joining team monitored all phases of sample fabrication and approved final process setup prior to proceeding with sample fabrication for testing. Table 2 reports processes that were used on selected combinations of the AHSS materials. Table 2: Processes utilized in this project. Process Process Detail GMAW (MIG) GMAW (MIG) GMAW Pulsed DC GMAW Pulsed AC GMAW Laser Assisted Hybrid YAG Laser/GMAW-Pulsed DC Laser Laser - Plasma Assisted YAG Laser Hybrid YAG Laser/Plasma Sample Design Samples of material were constructed to the dimensions shown in Figure 1. The weld location was centered between the edges of the sample and the robot travel distance was 25 mm total. This produced a weld with start and stop characteristics to be included in all tensile shear and impact testing. The length of the weld was limited to 25 mm to allow use of existing impact test equipment from previous A/SP weld tests. Impact samples, shown in Figure 2, were fabricated from blanks that were 75mm wide. Bend radius for the ends was approximately 6.5 mm. Special end treatments were applied by the University of Toledo that performed the final impact sample fitting and testing using a unique weld test impact machine. Page 8 of 75

Sample is 75 mm wide, bend radius is approximately 6 mm. Weld Quality Measurement Special consideration was given to quality acceptance of the welds for this project. Several standards exist among the OEM s that specify attribute and measurement requirements for conventional steel welding. Three standards were reviewed and the quality acceptance criteria were selected from the three standards. Table 3 reports the derivative requirements for the SWSG project and source of the OEM document. Page 9 of 75

12 Test Coupon Sample Coding Samples were coded as shown in Table 4. The source files on the CD contain engineering test data that follows the reported process coding format. The CD is organized by process; therefore, the sample number is shown only if the process folder is accessed. A typical file structure for data organization is shown in table 4. Table 4: Sample Identification Codes Sample Number Test Type Stack-up Number 01 through 41 IM = Impact 01 through 05 TS= Tensile 08 through 09 MS = Metallographic ES = Extra Sample Example: 01-IM LM This would indicate sample number 01 for impact testing, stack-up combination 02, using filler wire with 90 ksi tensile strength, welded with a Laser assisted GMAW (MIG) process. Page 11 of 75

13 Test Matrix The test plan specified five weld samples for each of the stack up combinations for testing for each process evaluation. Five samples each were tested for impact, tensile shear and one sample form each process was prepared for micro hardness testing. Fatigue testing of each process required 25 samples for spectrum analysis. Fatigue data is reported under a separate A/SP document. Table 5: Material Test Matrix.

14 Results of Weld Tests All processes were capable of producing weld joints having useful engineering properties. Joint strength is strongly related to the area of the weld joining the thinner of the two pieces. Since the tests include the start and stop conditions of each process, some variation in strength is expected as a result of the non equilibrium conditions and less than ideal weld geometry at ends of the weld. Similar results can be obtained for laser welds using the weld width reported in the section photographs to calculate the area of the weld and multiply that by the UTS of the thinner sheet. These weld tests provide nominal parameter values that can be used to establish a starting point for making confirmation samples prior to fabricating prototype parts.
