Predicting the Failure of Ultrasonic Spot Welds by Pull-out from Sheet Metal
Bin Zhou, M. D. Thouless, and S. M. Ward Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Material Science and Engineering University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI, 48109 Scientific Research Laboratory Ford Motor Company Dearborn, MI, 48124 Abstract A methodology for determining the cohesive facture parameters associated with pull-out of spot welds is presented. Since failure of a spot weld by pu...
متن کاملUltrasonic Testing of Spot Welds in the Automotive Industry
In the modern motorcar production, more than 300 deep-drawn sheet metal parts are joined together by more than 3,000 spot welds on each car body. To check the spot welds within the framework of the quality assurance, different nondestructive test methods are available in addition to the destructive methods (tear down test, metallographic inspection): the chipping test and the ultrasonic test, w...
متن کاملImprovements in Ultrasonic Inspection of Resistance Spot welds
Resistance welding is an electrothermic process commonly used in Industry for joining sheet metal, particularly steel, in applications such as automobile bodies and chassis assemblies. The method is suitable for partial or total automation, and is very reliable. However, as with any process, problems can occur and inspection is therefore necessary. Although ultrasonic inspection of spot welds h...
متن کاملMicrostructure, Welding Mechanism, and Failure of Al/Cu Ultrasonic Welds
Ultrasonic metal welding has been used widely to join battery cell terminals, or tabs (either Al or Cu), with bus bars (Cu) to form assembled battery packs in battery electric vehicles. However, the mechanism of ultrasonic welding for Al/Cu is still not well understood. In this work, the microstructures of the ultrasonic welds between three layers of lithium-ion battery tabs (either Al or Cu) a...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Pull-out Failure Mechanisms of Suction Caissons
This paper reports results from an investigation into the suction caissons failure mechanisms under vertical pull-out loads. An insight to the failure mechanisms of suction caissons paves the path for developing analytical solutions to their pull-out capacity. The numerical models of suction caissons have first been calibrated by and verified against several experimental data from other researc...
