Magnetic Field Distribution in Resistance Spot Welding Nugget under Permanent Magnet SHEN Qi1，LI Yongbing1，LI Ruihua2，CHEN Guanlong1 2011, 45 (01):  25-0029.  Abstract ( 4872 )   Save Distributions of magnetic field, both external and induced, in nugget region of resistance spot welding (RSW) under permanent magnets were investigated using numerical simulation method. Based on the complex magnetic force distribution, the fluid flow behavior in RSW was systematically analyzed. The results show that the induced magnetic field predominates in RSW process under the permanent magnets. The complex magnetic flux density gradually increases from the center to the edge of the weld nugget, while the radial magnetic flux density gradually decreases with the increasing working distance of permanent magnets. Two perpendicular magnetic component forces exist in the nugget. One acts in the axisymmetric plane of the electrodes generated by the induced magnetic field, the other acts vertically to the plane generated by the external magnetic field. Driven by the complex magnetic force, the molten metal in the nugget would flow with high velocity in both the axisymmetric plane of the electrodes and the circumferential direction perpendicular to the plane.

Impact of Plasticity Deformation on Microstructure and Toughness of High Strength Pipeline QI Lihua1,2,NIU Jing1,2,YANG Long1,FENG Yaorong1, JI Lingkang1,ZHANG Jianxun2 2011, 45 (01):  30-0034.  Abstract ( 4184 )   Save The effects of plastic deformation on the microstructure evolution and toughness properties of X100 pipeline structure steel were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and mechanical test. The results show that both acicular ferrite and granular bainite change remarkably with the value of stress under the same aging temperature and time. Simultaneously, the high density dislocation agglomerates around the M/A island, forms the subgrain boundary and the crystal boundary. After the deformation, the grain sizes decrease, while there are many subgrain structures distributed in crystal, and the material impact toughness drops remarkably due to M/A constitution distributed on the crystal boundary and the deformation flaws. Correspondingly, the sensitive coefficient of strainaging of grade X100 pipeline meets the needs when the temperature is above -34 °C. Related Articles | Metrics

SawTooth Chip Formation Process and Mechanism in Hard Turning AISI 52100 Bearing Steel WU Shenfeng，ZHANG Xueping 2011, 45 (01):  71-0077.  Abstract ( 4400 )   Save A thermalmechanical orthogonal cutting finite element model (FEM) was established by Abaqus/Explicit to explore the sawtooth chip formation process and mechanism in hard turning AISI 52100 steel. The observation of stress distribution, temperature distribution and mesh distortions along cutting time in high and low speed machining processes contributes to demonstrate the adiabatic shear mechanism of sawtooth chip formation process of AISI 52100 bearing steel. Firstly, a short horizontal adiabatic shear band initiates in front of the rake face; the short band gradually extends to the free surface from the end of the shear plane as the rake face advances to push the work material more severely; sawtooth chip forms as the adiabatic shear band slides. “Adiabatic shear” is the primary mechanism to form sawtooth chip morphology in machining AISI 52100 bearing steel, crack initiates after the formation of adiabatic shear band; cutting speed is the driving force of the microcrack initiation in shear band and subsequent propagation to the tool tip. The friction condition in second shear zone strengthens the tendency of sawtooth chip formation process. Related Articles | Metrics
