    ME Welding Symboles

    - A weldment is fabricated by welding together a collection of metal shapes, cut to

    particular configurations.

    - During welding, the several parts are held securely together, often by clamping

    or jigging.

    - The welds must

    be precisely

    specified on

    working drawings,and this is done by

    using the welding

    symbol as

    standardized by the

    American Welding

    Society (AWS).

    - Figures 93 to 96 illustrate the types of welds used most frequently by

    designers.

    -For general machine elements most welds are fillet welds, though butt welds

    are used a great deal in designing pressure vessels.

    - The parts to be joined must be arranged so that there is sufficient clearance for

    the welding operation.

    - Since heat is used in the welding operation, there are metallurgical changes inthe parent metal in the vicinity of the weld. Also, residual stressesmay be

    introduced because of clamping or holding or, sometimes, because of the order

    of welding.

    - Usually these residual stresses are not severe enough to cause concern; insome cases a light heat treatment after welding has been found helpful in

    relieving them. When the parts to be welded are thick, a preheating will also be

    of benefit.

    the average normal stress is

    where h is the weld throat and l is the length of the weld.

    - Note that the value of h does not include the reinforcement. The reinforcement

    can be desirable, but it varies somewhat and does produce stress concentration at

    pointA.

    - If fatigue loads exist, it is good practice to grind or machine off the reinforcement.

    - The most important concept here is that we have no analytical approach that

    predicts the existing stresses.

    - The approach has been to use a simple and conservative model, verified by

    testing as conservative. The approach has been to

    Consider the external loading to be carried by shear forces on the

    throat areaof the weld. By ignoring the normal stress on the throat, the shearing

    stresses are inflated sufficiently to render the model conservative.

    Use distortion energy for significant stresses.

    Circumscribe typical cases by code.

    - The geometry of the fillet is crude by machinery standards, and even if it wereideal, the macrogeometry is too abrupt and complex for the methods.

    - Note that this inflates the maximum estimated shear stress by a factor of

    1.414/1.207 = 1.17.

    - Further, consider the parallel fillet welds shown in this Figure, where, as in

    Fig. 98, each weld transmits a forceF. However, in the case of this Figure,the maximum shear stress is at the minimum throat areaand corresponds to

    Eq. (93).

    which assumes the entire forceF is

    accounted for by a shear stress in the

    minimum throat area.

    - The figure illustrates a cantilever of

    length l welded to a column by two

    fillet welds.

    - The reaction at the support of a

    cantilever always consists of a shear

    force V and a momentM.

    - The shear force produces aprimary

    shear in the welds of magnitude V

    A

    whereA is the throat area of all the welds.

    - The moment at the support producessecondary shear or

    torsion of the welds, and this stress is given by the equation

    Mr

    J

    where ris the distance from the centroid of the weld group to the point in the weld

    of interest and Jis the second polar moment of area of the weld group about the

    centroid of the group.

    - When the sizes of the welds are

    known, these equations can be solved

    and the results combined to obtain

    the maximum shear stress.

    - Note that r is usually the farthest

    distance from the centroid of the

    weld group.

    - The figure shows two welds in a

    group. The rectangles represent the

    throat areas of the welds.

    - Weld 1 has a throat thickness t1= 0.707h1, and weld 2 has a throat thickness t2=

    0.707h2. Note that h1and h2are the respective weld sizes. The throat area of both

    welds together is

    - This is the area that is to be used in equation of the primary shear.

    the centroid G1of weld 1. The second

    - In a similar manner, the second polar moment of area of weld 2 about its centroid is

    - Similarly, the second moment of area

    about an axis through G1parallel to they

    axis is

    - This is the quantity to be used to calculate secondary shear. The distance r must

    - The reverse procedure is that in which

    the allowable shear stress is given and

    we wish to find the weld size. The usual

    procedure is to estimate a probable weld

    size.

    - The quantities t13and t2

    3which are the

    cubes of the weld thicknesses, are small

    and can be neglected.

    - Setting the weld thicknesses t1and t2to

    unity leads to the idea of treating each

    fillet weld as a line.

    - The resulting second moment of area is then a unit second polar moment of area Ju.

    - The advantage of treating the weld size as a line is that the value ofJuis the same

    regardless of the weld size.

  • 8/10/2019 9.Welding Bonding Permanent Joints

    - Since the throat width of a fillet weld is 0.707h, the relationship betweenJ and

    the unit value is

    - Table 91 lists the throat areas and the unit second polar moments of area for the

    most common fillet welds encountered. The example that follows is typical of the

    - The model gives the coefficient of 1.414, in contrast to the predictions of Sec.

    - The second moment of area is based on the distance dbetween the two welds. If

    this moment is found by treating the two welds as having rectangular footprints,the distance between the weld throat centroids is approximately (d + h). This

    would produce a slightly larger second moment of area, and result in a smaller

    level of stress.

    - If a bar of AISI 1010 steel is welded to one of 1018 steel, the weld metal is

    actually a mixture of the electrode material and the 1010 and 1018 steels.

    - The fatigue stress-concentration factors listed in Table 95 are suggested for use.

    These factors should be used for the parent metal as well as for the weld metal.

    ME Resistance Welding

    - The heating and consequent welding that

    occur when an electric current is passed

    through several parts that are pressed

    together is called resistance welding.

    - Spot weldingand seam weldingare forms of resistance welding most often used.

    - The advantages of resistance welding over other forms are the speed, the accurate

    regulation of time and heat, the uniformity of the weld, and the mechanical

    properties that result. In addition the process is easy to automate, and filler metal

    and fluxes are not needed.

    - Seam welding is actually a series of overlapping spot welds, since the current is

    applied in pulses as the work moves between the rotating electrodes.

    and nonstructural applications has expanded greatly in recent years as a result of

    the unique advantages adhesives may offer for certain assembly processes and the

    development of new adhesives with improved robustness and environmental

    acceptability.

    - The increasing complexity of modern assembled structures and the diverse types

    of materials used have led to many joining applications that would not be possible

    with more conventional joining techniques.

    mechanical fasteners and welds. Figure 924 illustrates the numerous places

    where adhesives are used on a modern automobile. Indeed, the fabrication of

    many modern vehicles, devices, and structures is dependent on adhesives.

    - In well-designed joints and with proper processing procedures, use of adhesives

    can result in significant reductions in weight.

    - Eliminating mechanical fasteners eliminates the weight of the fasteners, and

    also may permit the use of thinner-gauge materials because stress concentrationsassociated with the holes are eliminated.

    - The capability of polymeric adhesives to dissipate energy can significantly

    - The capability of polymeric adhesives to dissipate energy can significantly

    reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), crucial in modern automobile

    performance.

    - Adhesives can be used to assemble heat-sensitive materials or components that

    might be damaged by drilling holes for mechanical fasteners.

    - They can be used to join dissimilar materials or thin-gauge stock that cannot be

    joined through other means

    Types of Adhesive

    ME Adhesive Bonding

    - There are numerous adhesive types for various applications. They may be

    classified in a variety of ways depending on their chemistry (e.g., epoxies,

    polyurethanes, polyimides), their form (e.g., paste, liquid, film, pellets, tape), theirtype (e.g., hot melt, reactive hot melt, thermosetting, pressure sensitive, contact), or

    their load-carrying capability (structural, semi-structural, or nonstructural).

    - Structural adhesivesare relatively strong adhesives that are normally used well

    below their glass transition temperature; common examples include epoxies andcertain acrylics. Such adhesives can carry significant stresses, and they lend

    themselves to structural applications.

    - Contact adhesives, where a solution or emulsion containing an elastomeric

    adhesive is coated onto both adherends, the solvent is allowed to evaporate, and

    then the two adherends are brought into contact. Examples include rubber cement

    and adhesives used to bond laminates to countertops.

    Types of Adhesive

  • 8/10/2019 9.Welding Bonding Permanent Joints

    80/87

    ME Adhesive Bonding

    -Pressure-sensitive adhesivesare very low modulus elastomers that deform easily

    under small pressures, permitting them to wet surfaces. When the substrate and

    adhesive are brought into intimate contact, van der Waals forces are sufficient tomaintain the contact and provide relatively durable bonds. Pressure-sensitive

    adhesives are normally purchased as tapes or labels for nonstructural applications,

    although there are also double-sided foam tapes that can be used in semi-structural

    applications.

    - As the name implies, hot meltsbecome liquid when heated, wetting the surfaces

    and then cooling into a solid polymer (the glue guns in popular use).

    - Anaerobic adhesivescure within narrow spaces deprived of oxygen; such

    materials have been widely used in mechanical engineering applications to lock

    bolts or bearings in place.

    ME Adhesive Bonding

    - Good design practice normally requires that adhesive joints be constructed in

    such a manner that the adhesive carries the load in shear rather than tension.

    Bonds are typically much stronger when loaded in shear rather than in tensionacross the bond plate.

    - Lap-shear joints represent an important family of joints, both for test specimens

    to evaluate adhesive properties and for actual incorporation into practical designs.

    - Generic types of lap joints that commonly arise are illustrated in Fig. 925.

    - The simplest analysis of lap joints suggests the applied load is uniformly

    distributed over the bond area.

    Joint Design

  • 8/10/2019 9.Welding Bonding Permanent Joints

    84/87

    ME Adhesive Bonding

    Design toplace bondline in shear, not peel. Beware of peel stresses focused at

    bond terminations. When necessary, reduce peel stresses through tapering the

    adherend ends increasing bond area where peel stresses occur, or utilizing rivets atbond terminations where peel stresses can initiate failures.

    Where possible, use adhesives with adequate ductility. The ability of an adhesive

    to yield reduces the stress concentrations associated with the ends of joints and

    increases the toughness to resist debond propagation.

    Recognize environmental limitationsof adhesives and surface preparation

    methods. Exposure to water, solvents, and other diluents can significantly degrade

    adhesive performance in some situation, through displacing the adhesive from the

    surface or degrading the polymer. Certain adhesives may be susceptible to

    environmental stress cracking in the presence of certain solvents. Exposure to

    ultraviolet light can also degrade adhesives.

    Joint Design

    85/87

    ME Adhesive Bonding

    Design in a way thatpermits or facilitates inspections of bonds where possible. A

    missing rivet or bolt is often easy to detect, but debonds or unsatisfactory adhesive

    bonds are not readily apparent.

    Allow for sufficient bond area so that the joint can tolerate some debonding

    before going critical. This increases the likelihood that debonds can be detected.

    Having some regions of the overall bond at relatively low stress levels can

    significantly improve durability and reliability.

    Where possible, bond to multiple surfaces to offer support to loads in any

    direction. Bonding an attachment to a single surface can place peel stresses on the

    bond, whereas bonding to several adjacent planes tends to permit arbitrary loads to

    be carried predominantly in shear.

    Adhesives can be used in conjunction with spot welding. The process is known as

    weld bonding. The spot welds serve to fixture the bond until it is cured.

    This Figure presents examples of improvements in adhesive bonding.
