Abstract:

 


In the present study, dissimilar dual-phase
(DP) steel sheets (DP600-DP1000) were double-sided welded with Nd:YAG
(Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Y3Al5O12)) laser device and the
effect of laser power on mechanical and microstructural properties of welded
sheets was investigated. Laser welds were conducted using SISMA SWA300 Nd:YAG
laser welding machine in the flat position with the butt joint. DP600 and
DP1000 steels with a 1 mm thickness were selected for the experiments. Laser
power was changed from 20% to 75%, and other welding parameters were kept
constant. To evaluate the welded samples, tensile, microhardness and optical
microscope tests were performed. As a result of the study, in high laser power
values, good quality welds were obtained. In microstructural studies, it was
observed that three different regions were formed in the weld section; fusion
zone (FZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) and base material (BM). These three regions
were composed of different phase structures; FZ: martensite, bainite and
retained austenite, HAZ: martensite, bainite, ferrite, retained austenite and
tempered martensite, BM: ferrite and martensite. Also, different hardness
values were measured in these different regions, particularly in the FZ highest
microhardness values were measured due to effective martensite formation.
