Assembly and Joining• Assembly as a mfg process
– Process components– Cost, Quality, Rate and Flexibility
• Specific joining processes– Mechanical– Adhesives– Solder and brazing– Cold welding– Fusion welding

Assembly statistics

Justifying the need/type of assembly
•For assembly– Can’t be made in
one piece– Functional
(bushings, bearings)– Manufacturability– Repair and
maintenance– Transport: Does it fit
in a plane?
•Against assembly– Defects that occur at
interfaces– Loss of stiffness– Time & effort– Labor costs– Size

BRAZING&
SOLDERING
54
Example – Brazing / Soldering
55
Soldering/Brazing
CapillaryShear strengthTemperature limit
• Soldering : < 450 degree : Lead, Tin• Brazing : > 450 degree: Silver, Brass, Bronze
Substrate phase stays solid : can be used on dissimilar metalsUsed in electronics, plumbing, jewelry, and recently, as a structural joining
56
Soldering & brazing• Brazing: T > 450o C
– Brazes: Silver, Brass, Bronze
• Soldering: T < 450o C– Low temps require fluxes– Solders: Lead, Tin, Bismuth
• Processes– Torch: Oxyacetylene torch and filler metal– Furnace: Lay filler around joint and send into furnace– Induction: Heat part by induction– Resistance: Heat part by contact/current
15
57
Anatomy of solder/brazing process
•Purpose of fluxes– Remove oxides– Protect from oxidization– Improve surface wetting
•Process– A. Flux on top of oxidized metal – B. Boiling flux removes oxide– C. Base metal in contact with molten flux– D. Molten solder displaces molten flux – E. Solder adheres to base metal
– F. Solder solidifies58
DFA for Soldering and BrazingProvide large surface area contactFiller metal should have good wetting characteristics (capillary action)Joined surfaces should not be smooth
59
COLD WELDING (Interatomic)
PROCESSES
60
Ultrasonic and friction welding• Ultrasonic welding (shear @ 10 to 75kHz vibration)
– Contamination is redistributed, not displaced– Example: Wires/connectors in electronics components
• Friction welding– Material surfaces sheared against each other– Some metal extrudes out of weld zone, removes
contaminates
16
61
Diffusion bonding• Diffusion bonding is often divided into three stages
– Asperities + pressure = decreased interface porosity– Continued heating causes the porosities to shrink– Crystals grow across interface, some porosity may be trapped
• Time: Important variables/parameters:– Pressure = (500 to 5,000 psi) Temperature (2/3 Tmelt)– Surface finish Surface cleanliness
62
FUSIONWELDINGPHYSICS
63
Example – Spot Welding
64
• Process of fusing two materials to join them• Challenges in fusion welding
– Disrupting oxide layers and contamination
– Achieving high % surface area contact
Fusion welding

Welding
Heat sourceHeat intensity
• Control (overmelting/evaporation)• Heat affected zone (HAZ)• Efficiency• Depth/width ratio
66
Heat IntensityA measure of radiation intensity, W/cm2
Obviously the more intense the source, the faster the meltingVery difficult to prevent overmelting, therefore automation!

Heat intensity and interaction time• Heat intensity (in W/cm2)
– HI = Power per unit area directed into the welding zone– HI ~103 melting in < 25 seconds– HI ~106 vaporizes metal in µseconds
• Propagation of heat in solids: x ~ (α·t)0.5
– x = distance thermal disturbance travels into thick slab – t = elapsed time

Welding Rate
The rate at which the welding device must be moved is governed by:
The Heat Intensity - the greater the intensity, the faster the motion must be to keep the weld pool size, smax, constantThe product, α Ja, The greater it is, the faster the melt front moves
70
Welding Rate (cont.)In fact, the time at a spot, tmax is given by s2
max/ 2α Ja. Anymore, and you over-melt!
If the weld pool size is d in length, then you must feed at a rate that exceeds d/tmax. Similarly a lower limit.
Weld pool size d
Vmin = d / tmax

Welding Rate (cont.)
For a planar heat source on steel, tm= (5000/H.I.)2
: where H.I. Is the heat intensity in W/cm2. The number 5000 includes the material constant related terms.
Clearly the greater the H.I. The faster the metal melts.

Heat Affected Zone
Region near the weld pool is affected by heat. Microstructure changes.
The size of the heat affected zone is controlled by the thermal diffusivity, α.

76
Heat LocalizationWhy does alpha affect the size of the HAZ?
Lower values of alpha, more localized heating, which is better for welding?Have you tried taking a soldering iron to plastic? You get small weld pool. But on metal, you heat the whole piece!

FUSION WELDING
PROCESSES
78
Oxyfuel gas welding• Air/fuel welding
– Low-cost, portable and flexible– Oxidizing and reducing flames
79
General arc welding• Voltage difference between electrode & work piece
– Voltage ~ 100 - 500 V– Current ~ 50 – 300 A
• Electrode may be consumed
80
Fillers and shielding in arc welding
• Filler metals– Adds metal to weld zone– Flux on/in filler cleans/prevents oxidization– Slag protects molten puddle from oxidation
• Shielding– Pellets or grains– Gaseous
21
81
General resistance welding• High current through weld area (3k – 40k
Amps)– Important: contact pressure & weld current & weld time– Simple, reliable fusion processes– Welds often not easy to inspect ( i.e. spot welds )– Energy in: i2 R t– Energy req’d: ?– Melting requires ~ 1400 J / g for steel
82
Electron beam and laser welding
• Electron beam– Uses electrons to transfer energy
• Laser welding– Uses photons to transfer energy
• Pros and cons– Advantages: Small HAZ– Disadvantages: $$$!, deep welds require careful fixturing
83
FUSIONWELDINGDEFECTS
84
Typical defects
Source: American Welding Society
22
85
Porosity and inclusions
• Common causes– Trapped gases– Contaminants– Flux particles
• Prevention– Pre-heat– Pre-cleaning– Improved shielding
86
Cracks in welds• Usually result from one or combo of:
– Temperature gradients and inability of metal to contract during cooling
• Prevention– Preheat components or design to minimize stress
from thermal shrinking
87
Residual stresses• Residual stresses cause problems
– Distortion on welding– Reduce fatigue life
• Prevention– Preheating– Stress relieving in furnace (post heating)
A B 88
Heat affected zone (HAZ)• Material is not melted, but is heated• Properties in HAZ differ and depend on:
– Temperature– Time– Original properties– HI

DFM for Welding
One-half the weld metal same strength Twice the
weld metal -same strength
Previous Design 21 Pieces Improved

Design simplicity can save much welding and assembly time
91
DFM for Welding (conti.)Electrode must be held close to 45° when making these fillers
Easy to draw, but the 2nd weld will be hard to make
Very difficult
Easy
Easy to specify “weld all around” but …..
Try to avoid placing pipe joints near wall so that one or two sides are
inaccesible. These welds must be made with bent electrodes and mirror
Too close to side to allow proper electrode positioning. May be OK for average work but bad for leakproof welding
Pipe

92
• Cracks open in tension
• Most welds are hard, not easily machined
• Part preparation
