Welding of deep-drawing steels with protective layer by laser-TIG hybrid technology
Brehovský, Patrik ; Sigmund, Marian (referee) ; Mrňa, Libor (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on laser welding of extra deep-drawn steel sheet according to the standard WSS-M1A365-A14 with a protective zinc surface layer. A 0,9 mm thick steel sheet with a zinc layer with coating weight 50 g · m^-2 is welded by a hybrid welding method Laser-TIG. The laser, as the primary energy source, is used for welding the material. The arc, provided by a non-melting tungsten electrode, is used for preheating the material for melting and evaporation of the zinc layer. Based on the initial experiments, the magnitude of the laser power with the welding speed was chosen as a constant parameter. The magnitude of the electric current, as the variable parameter, was set up to 0, 20, 30 and 40 ampers for welding the lap and the butt welds. Only one piece of the each weld type combination was made. The welds were afterwards tested to verify their quality and material properties. The first differences between laser welding with or without TIG preheating were visible during the experiment. The positive effects of the laser welding with preheating by TIG were confirmed. The material properties of the joints achieved better values and a influence of the welding defects on the quality of the joints was reduced. The Laser-TIG is a good choice for welding galvanized steel sheets in the mass production of automotive industry and it could be improved by more researches.

Use of the preheating by electric arc during laser welding of steels with higher carbon content
Mach, Martin ; Sigmund, Marian (referee) ; Mrňa, Libor (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the study of the use of electric arc preheating, in this case source WIG, during laser welding of steel with a higher carbon content, specifically for this work steel 1.1191 thickness 2 mm. Based on the calculation of the carbon equivalent, the preheating was determined to 208 °C. The welding parameters were selected on the basis of the first experiments. In the experimental section, the samples were welded with laser with preheating using a source WIG, which were then made to a tensile test, Vickers microhardness, macrostructure and microstructure. By using a second heat source, the heat-affected area of the samples was expanded. Samples that cracked in the middle of the weld during the tensile test were heat influenced by cutting samples. The remaining samples was broken in the base material, thus the weld produced was of good quality. Combination of laser welding with WIG electric arc preheating is a very productive method over conventional methods and one of the few pre-heating solutions for laser welding. These are the initial experiments for the use of the WIG arc for preheating in laser welding, to be followed by further research, mainly for the automotive industry.
