Effect of susceptibility to interfacial fracture on fatigue properties of spot-welded high strength sheet steel
AbstractWhile advanced high strength steels (AHSS) have numerous advantages for the automotive industry, they can be susceptible to interfacial fracture when spot-welded. In this study, the susceptibility of interfacial fracture to spot-weld microstructure and hardness is examined, as well as the corresponding relationships between fatigue, overload performance, and interfacial fracture for a TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steel. Simple post-weld heat-treatments were used to alter the weld microstructure. The effect on interfacial fracture of diluting the weld pool by welding the TRIP material to non-TRIP steel was examined, along with the effect of altering the base material microstructure. Results show that weld hardness is not a good indicator of either the susceptibility to interfacial fracture, or the strength of the joint, and that interfacial fracture does not necessarily lead to a decrease in strength compared to conventional weld-failure mechanisms, i.e. button pullout. It was also found that while interfacial fracture does affect low cycle to failure behavior, there was no effect on high cycle fatigue.
