Article Abstract
The existing curves by effective notch stress to assess the fatigue life of gusset welded joints can result in reduced accuracy due to the oversimplification of bead geometries. The present work proposes the parametric formulae of stress concentration factor (SCF) for as-welded gusset joints based on the spline model, by which the effective notch stress can be accurately calculated for fatigue resistance assessment. The spline model is also modified to make it applicable to the additional weld. The fatigue resistance of as-welded and additional-welded specimens is assessed considering the geometric effects and weld profiles. The results show that the error of SCFs by the proposed formulae is proven to be smaller than 5%. The additional weld can increase the fatigue life by as great as 9.4 times, mainly because the increasing weld toe radius and weld leg length lead to the smaller SCF. The proposed series of curves, considering different SCFs, can be used to assess the welded joints with various geometric parameters and weld profiles.

In high-altitude corrosive environments, weathering steel is widely applied due to its excellent corrosion resistance. However, the welded joint regions, where the chemical composition and microstructure undergo changes, are susceptible to the corrosion-induced degradation of mechanical properties. This study investigates the corrosion-mechanical synergistic degradation behavior of a 16 mm thick Q500 qENH base metal and its V-type and Y-type welded joint specimens.

The subject of this research was the development of technology for welding and the heat treatment of butt-welded joints of thin-walled Inconel 718 alloy tubes, a process based on orbital TIG welding without a filler metal. The developed technology allows favorable conditions to obtain the appropriate hardness and mechanical properties in the weld area required by AMS 5589. In the tests, the microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated.

Passenger cars have unibody constructions, which means that their collision damage often involves key structural components. Successful repair requires the selection of appropriate technology and adherence to quality standards, which directly affects the safety of the vehicle's continued operation. A commonly used method is a system of replacing damaged components with new ones, while repair by molding and forming is also possible-provided the original structural features are preserved.

The present work aims to optimize the process parameters of friction stir welding (FSW) to improve the mechanical behavior of AISI 1018 carbon steel joints. The study explores the influence of welding speed, tool rotational speed, and shoulder diameter on ultimate tensile strength (UTS), percentage elongation (PE), percentage reduction in area (RA), and impact energy (IE). To achieve this, both single-response and multi-response optimization methods were applied.
