#GDIS | #SteelMatters 32
Summary
• Three common problems associated with welding AHSS:
− Narrow Current Range:
− By implementing the proper welding schedule, the weldability window can be broadened.
− More complex welding schedules can allow for more control over heat generation and current
density, thus minimizing the possibility of expulsion to grow the nugget further.
− Hardness Values:
− The increased hardness values seen in AHSS weld nuggets can induce interfacial failure.
− Acceptable strengths can be achieved with interfacial failure.
− Nonhomogeneous Microstructures:
− The nonhomogeneous microstructures seen in AHSS welds cannot be universally classified as a
beneficial or detrimental effect of welding.
• Solutions need to be made on a case by case study and cannot be blanketed over all advanced high-strength
steels. Different solutions will need to be taken for different grades as well as different stack-up
configurations and sheet thicknesses.
