Trang 2 Heating the workpieces to a temperature sufficiently high to produce a weld involves important metallurgical and physical changes in the materials being welded
The strength, toughness, and ductility of a welded joint
depend on many factors
For example, the rate of heat application and the thermal
properties of metals are important in that they control the
magnitude and distribution of temperature in a joint during welding
Institut Teknologi Bandung 2
Trang 3Introduction, con’t
The microstructure and grain size of the welded joint depends
on the magnitude of heat applied and temperature rise, the degree of prior cold work of the metals, and the rate of
cooling after the weld is made
Weld quality depends on factors such as the geometry of the weld bead and the presence of cracks, residual stresses,
inclusions, and oxide films
Their control is essential to reliable welds that have
acceptable mechanical properties

Trang 4THE WELDED JOINT
Institut Teknologi Bandung 4
Trang 5The welded joint
Three distinct zones can be identified:
1 The base metal , that is, the metal to be joined.
2 The heat-affected zone (HAZ).
3 The weld metal , that is, the region that has melted
during welding.
The metallurgy and properties of the second and third zones depend strongly on the metals joined, the welding process, filler metals used, if any, and process variables
Institut Teknologi Bandung 5
Trang 6The welded joint, con’t
A joint produced without a filler metal is called autogenous , and the weld zone is composed of the resolidified base metal
A joint made with a filler metal has a central zone called the weld metal and is composed of a mixture of the base and
filler metals

Trang 8Solidification of the weld metal
After applying heat and introducing filler metal, if any, into the weld area, the molten weld joint is allowed to cool to ambient temperature
The solidification process is similar to that in casting and
begins with the formation of columnar (dendritic) grains
These grains are relatively long and form parallel to the heat flow
Institut Teknologi Bandung 8
Trang 9Solidification of the weld metal
Because metals are much better heat conductors than the surrounding air, the grains lie to the plane of the two plates or sheets being welded (Figure a).
The grains in a shallow weld are shown in Figure b.

Trang 10Solidification of the weld metal
Grain structure and size depend on the specific alloy, the welding process, and the filler metal used
The weld metal is basically a cast structure and, because it has cooled slowly, it generally has coarse grains
Consequently, this structure has generally low strength,
toughness, and ductility
Institut Teknologi Bandung 10
Trang 11Solidification of the weld metal
However, the proper selection of filler-metal composition or heat treatments following welding can improve the joint's
Trang 12Solidification of the weld metal
Preheating is particularly important for metals with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum and copper; otherwise, the heat during welding rapidly dissipates

Trang 14Heat-affected zone
The heat-affected zone (HAZ) is within the base metal itself
It has a microstructure different from that of the base metal before welding, because it has been subjected to elevated temperatures for a period of time during welding
The portions of the base metal that are far enough away from the heat source do not undergo any changes during welding
Institut Teknologi Bandung 14
Trang 15Heat-affected zone
The properties and microstructure of the HAZ depend on:
a the rate of heat input and cooling; and
b the temperature to which this zone was raised.
The HAZ and the corresponding phase diagram for 0.3 percent carbon steel are shown in the following Figure

Trang 17Heat-affected zone
In addition to metallurgical factors (such as original grain size, grain orientation, and degree of prior cold work), the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the metals influence the
HAZ's size and characteristics
The strength and hardness of the heat-affected zone depend partly on how the original strength and hardness of the
particular alloy was developed prior to welding
Institut Teknologi Bandung 17
Trang 18Heat-affected zone
They may have been developed by cold working,
solid-solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, or by various heat treatments
Of these strengthening methods, the simplest to analyze is base metal that has been cold worked, say, by cold rolling or forging
The heat applied during welding recrystallizes the elongated
grains (preferred orientation) of the cold-worked base metal
Institut Teknologi Bandung 18
Trang 19Heat-affected zone
Grains that are away from the weld metal will recrystallizeinto fine equiaxed grains
However, grains close to the weld metal, having been
subjected to elevated temperatures for a longer period of time, will grow
This growth will result in a region that is softer and has less strength
Such a joint will be weakest in its heat-affected zone

The effects of heat during welding on the HAZ for joints madewith dissimilar metals, and for alloys strengthened by other methods, are complex and beyond the scope of this lecture

Trang 22WELD QUALITY
Institut Teknologi Bandung 22
Trang 23Weld Quality
Because of a history of thermal cycling and attendant
microstructural changes, a welded joint may develop certain discontinuities
Welding discontinuities can also be caused by inadequate or careless application of established welding technologies or substandard operator training
The major discontinuities that affect weld quality are
described as follow
Institut Teknologi Bandung 23
Trang 24 Porosity in welds is caused by trapped gases released during melting of the weld area and trapped during solidification,
chemical reactions during welding, or contaminants
Most welded joints contain some porosity, which is generally spherical in shape or in the form of elongated pockets
The distribution of porosity in the weld zone may be random,
or it may be concentrated in a certain region
Institut Teknologi Bandung 24
Trang 25Porosity, con’t
Porosity in welds can be reduced by the following methods:
{ Proper selection of electrodes and filler metals.
{ Improving welding techniques, such as preheating
the weld area or increasing the rate of heat input
{ Proper cleaning and preventing contaminants from entering the weld zone.
{ Slowing the welding speed to allow time for gas to escape.
Institut Teknologi Bandung 25
Trang 26Slag inclusions
Slag inclusions are compounds such as oxides, fluxes, and electrode-coating materials that are trapped in the weld zone
If shielding gases are not effective during welding,
contamination from the environment may also contribute to such inclusions
Welding conditions are important, and with proper techniquesthe molten slag will float to the surface of the molten weld
metal and not be entrapped
Institut Teknologi Bandung 26
Trang 27Slag inclusions, con’t
Slag inclusions may be prevented by:
{ Cleaning the weld-bead surface before the next layer
is deposited by using a hand or power wire brush.
{ Providing adequate shielding gas
{ Redesigning the joint to permit sufficient space for proper manipulation of the puddle of molten weld
metal.
Institut Teknologi Bandung 27
Trang 28Incomplete fusion and penetration
Incomplete fusion (or lack of fusion) produces poor weld beads, such as those shown here

Trang 29Incomplete fusion and penetration
A better weld can be obtained by:
{ Raising the temperature of the base metal.
{ Cleaning the weld area prior to welding.
{ Changing the joint design and type of electrode.
{ Providing adequate shielding gas.
Incomplete penetration occurs when the depth of the welded joint is insufficient Penetration can be improved by:
{ Increasing the heat input.
{ Lowering travel speed during welding.
{ Changing the joint design.
{ Ensuring that the surfaces to be joined fit properly.

Trang 30Weld profile
Weld profile is important not only because of its effects on the strength and appearance of the weld, but also because it can indicate incomplete fusion or the presence of slag inclusions
Trang 31Weld profile
Undercutting (Figure b) results from melting away the base metal and subsequently generating a groove in the shape of
a sharp recess or notch
Institut Teknologi Bandung 31
Trang 32Weld profile
Unless it is not deep or sharp, an undercut can act as a
stress raiser and reduce the fatigue strength of the joint-and may lead to premature failure
Overlap (Figure b) is a surface discontinuity generally caused
by poor welding practice and selection of the wrong

Trang 37 Cracks are classified as hot or cold cracks
Hot cracks occur while the joint is still at elevated temperatures
Cold cracks develop after the weld metal has solidified
Some crack-prevention measures are:
a Change the joint design to minimize stresses from
shrinkage during cooling.
b Change welding-process parameters, procedures, and
sequence.
c Preheat components being welded.
d Avoid rapid cooling of the components after welding.
Institut Teknologi Bandung 37
Trang 38Lamellar tears
In describing the anisotropy of plastically deformed metals,
we stated that because of the alignment of nonmetallic
impurities and inclusions (stringers), the workpiece is weaker when tested in its thickness direction
This condition is particularly evident in rolled plates and
structural shapes
Institut Teknologi Bandung 38
Trang 39Lamellar tears
In welding such components, lamellar tears may develop
because of shrinkage of the restrained members in the
structure during cooling
Such tears can be avoided by providing for shrinkage of the members or by changing the joint design to make the weld bead penetrate the weaker member more deeply
Institut Teknologi Bandung 39
Trang 40Surface damage
During welding, some of the metal may spatter and be
deposited as small droplets on adjacent surfaces
In arc welding processes, the electrode may inadvertently
contact the parts being welded at places not in the weld zone (arcstrikes)
Such surface discontinuities may be objectionable for
reasons of appearance or subsequent use of the welded part
Institut Teknologi Bandung 40
Trang 41Surface damage
If severe, these discontinuities may adversely affect the
properties of the welded structure, particularly for
notch-sensitive metals
Using proper welding techniques and procedures is important
in avoiding surface damage
Institut Teknologi Bandung 41
Trang 42Residual stresses
Because of localized heating and cooling during welding, expansion and contraction of the weld area causes residual stresses in the workpiece
Residual stresses can cause:
{ Distortion, warping, and buckling of the welded parts
{ Stress-corrosion cracking.
{ Further distortion if a portion of the welded structure
is subsequently removed, say, by machining or
sawing.
{ Reduced fatigue life.

kontraksi dari komponen yang berbeda dari rakitan yang dilas.
Trang 45Residual stresses
When two plates are being welded, a long narrow region is subjected to elevated temperatures, whereas the plates as a whole are essentially at ambient temperature
As the weld is completed and time elapses, the heat from the weld area dissipates laterally to the plates as the weld area cools
The plates thus begin to expand longitudinally while the
welded length begins to contract
Institut Teknologi Bandung 45
Trang 47residual stresses must balance each other.
In complex welded structures, residual stress distributions are three dimensional and difficult to analyze
Institut Teknologi Bandung 47
Trang 48Residual stresses
The preceding example involves two plates that are not
restrained from movement
In other words, the plates are not an integral part of a larger structure
If they are restrained, reaction stresses will be generated because the plates are not free to expand or contract
This situation arises particularly in structures with high
stiffness
Institut Teknologi Bandung 48
Trang 49Stress relieving of welds
The problems caused by residual stresses, such as
distortion, buckling, or cracking, can be reduced by
preheating the base metal or the parts to be welded
Preheating reduces distortion by reducing the cooling rate
and the level of thermal stresses (by reducing the elastic
Trang 50Stress relieving of welds
The workpieces may be heated in a furnace or electrically or inductively, and for thin sections, by radiant lamps or hot-air blast
For optimum results, preheating temperatures and cooling rates must be controlled carefully in order to maintain
acceptable strength and toughness in the welded structure
Residual stresses can be reduced by stress relieving the
welded structure
