This paper presents a machine learning and image segmentation based advanced quality assessment technique for thin Refill Friction Stir Spot Welded (RFSSW) joints. In particular, the research focuses on developing a predictive support vector machines (SVM) model. The purpose of this model is to facilitate the selection of RFSSW process parameters in order to increase the shear load capacity of joints. In addition, an improved weld quality assessment algorithm based on optical analysis was developed. The research methodology includes specimen preparation stages, mechanical tests, and algorithmic analysis, culminating in a machine learning model trained on experimental data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in selecting welding process parameters and assessing weld quality, offering significant improvements compared to standard techniques.

This article presents the results of a comparative study on the modification of the surface layer of carbon composites. Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are heterogeneous and anisotropic materials, characterised by high strength, low density, corrosion resistance along with ease of processing and moulding, and are increasingly replacing metal alloys. They are widely used in aviation, automotive and transport applications. One example of a modern composite is carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP). This study presents the influence of selected modifications of the surface layer of a CFRP composite on the values of free surface energy (SFE) and surface topography. The resulting SFE values were analysed together with the contribution of the polar SFE and dispersive SFE components. The article also presents the test results related to selected 3D surface roughness parameters and includes photographs of the test specimens after surface layer modification. The results were statistically processed in compliance with good research practice.

The paper presents the influence of simple structural modifications of the adherend on the fatigue properties of adhesive joints subjected to peel. The considered modifications consisted in making a chamfer and fillet on the front edge of the adherend. The purpose of such modifications was to locally increase the thickness of the adhesive layer in the area of stress concentration. Fatigue strength tests were carried out using an electrodynamic shaker at the resonant frequency of the flexible adherend. On the basis of fatigue strength tests carried out at the limited number of cycles equal to 2×106, it was shown that a local increase in the thickness of the adhesive layer in the front part of the joint allows a significant increase in the joint's fatigue lifetime and fatigue strength. The greatest effect was shown for the variant with the fillet R2. In this case, an increase in fatigue strength of 33.1% compared to the base variant was demonstrated. For the fatigue stress level of 20.25 MPa, an increase in fatigue lifetime of 337.7% was also demonstrated. Based on the conducted research, it was shown that the reason for the improvement of the fatigue properties of the joints due to the local increase in the thickness of the adhesive layer is the phenomenon of energy absorption in the frontal area of the joint. Absorption of energy that inhibits the process of fatigue results from, among others, local flexibility of the joint, as well as nucleation of cracks in the locally increased volume of the adhesive.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań określających wpływ modyfikacji konstrukcyjnych elementu klejonego na właściwości zmęczeniowe połączeń klejowych poddanych oddzieraniu. Rozważane modyfikacje polegały na wykonaniu fazy oraz promienia na czołowej krawędzi elementu klejonego. Celem takich modyfikacji było miejscowe zwiększenie grubości warstwy kleju w obszarze koncentracji naprężeń. Badania wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej przeprowadzono za pomocą wzbudnika elektrodynamicznego przy częstotliwości rezonansowej klejonej płytki. Na podstawie badań wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej przeprowadzonych przy granicznej liczbie cykli równej 2×106 wykazano, że lokalny wzrost grubości warstwy kleju w czołowej części złącza pozwala na znaczny wzrost trwałości zmęczeniowej oraz wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej. Najkorzystniejszy efekt wykazano dla wariantu z promieniem R2. W tym przypadku wykazano wzrost wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej o 33,1% w stosunku do wariantu bazowego. Dla poziomu naprężenia zmęczeniowego 20,25 MPa wykazano również wzrost trwałości zmęczeniowej o 337,7%. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że przyczyną poprawy właściwości zmęczeniowych połączeń na skutek lokalnego zwiększenia grubości warstwy kleju jest zjawisko pochłaniania energii w obszarze czołowym złącza. Absorpcja energii hamująca proces zmęczenia wynika m.in. z miejscowego uelastycznienia złącza, jak również zarodkowania pęknięć w lokalnie zwiększonej objętości kleju.

This article presents the influence of the brushing process on residual stress and surface roughness of EN AW-2024-T3 aluminum alloy joints welded using the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method. Butt joints with thicknesses of 2 mm were brushing with using ceramic brush. The aim of the study was to find optimal parameters of the brushing process, which would significantly improve the functional properties of welded joints. The experiments were carried out in two steps. In the first stage of the research, the feed rate was changed in the range f = 40 ÷ 120 mm / min with a constant brushing depth d = 0.5 mm. The roughness decreased from Sa = 5.285 µm for the specimen after welding to Sa = 2.460 µm for the f = 120 mm/min and d = 0.5 mm. The change in the parameters of the brushing process did not have a significant impact on the state of residual stresses. Hence, in the second step, the brushing depth was increased in steps of 0.1 mm. The best properties were obtained for f = 120 mm / min and d = 0.6 mm (variant 6A), where roughness was Sa = 0.443 µm and compressive stresses σ = -118 MPa.

This paper presents the experimental results of a study investigating the effect of holes and notches made on the overlap ends on the strength of adhesive joints. Single-lap joints made of S235JR steel sheets bonded with Araldite 2024-2 epoxy adhesive were tested. For comparative reasons, static shear strength tests and high-cycle fatigue strength tests were performed. Adhesive-filled joints having three holes, each with a diameter of 3 mm, and notches, each 3 mm wide and 4 mm long, were tested and compared with reference joints, i.e. without modification. The assumption was to determine whether the structural modifications would reduce the peak peel and shear stresses that are typical of this type of joints. Results of the static strength tests showed no significant effect of the applied modifications on the strength of the joints. However, in terms of fatigue strength, the results demonstrated a significant improvement in fatigue life, the value of which increased in the low-cycle fatigue region by 328.6% for the joint with notches and by 640.8% for the joint with holes. A smaller yet still positive effect of the applied modifications was shown for high-cycle fatigue. For a variable load with the maximum value of 9 MPa, the fatigue life increased by 215.9% for the variant with notches and by 183.3% for the variant with holes. Surface topography of fatigue fractures was examined by determining roughness parameters on the overlap ends in the samples. Significant differences were shown, with the selected roughness parameters being significantly lower for the reference variant than for the variants with notches and holes. It was shown that the applied structural modifications led to increasing the fatigue strength to 8.5 MPa for the limit number of cycles equal to 2×106, when compared to the reference variant for which the fatigue strength was 8 MPa.

The widespread use of composite materials in the construction of machines encourages to better understand their properties and the impact of various external factors on these properties. Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) consist of alternating layers of metal and a polymer matrix laminate reinforced with continuous fibres. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cyclical temperature changes and thermal shocks (heating the sample to a high temperature in a short time) on the strength properties of FMLs from AW-1050A aluminium sheet, glass fibre fabric and carbon fibre fabric. The research concerns the determination of how cyclical temperature changes affect the tensile strengths properties of FMLs. The results indicate a small effect of the cycles on the tensile strength of the composites. The composites with glass fibre reinforced laminate also showed high resistance to delamination, moreover, the samples did not delaminate even after they were broken. The carbon fibre reinforced laminate composites showed a tendency to delaminate after heat treatment.

The article presents the results of friction tests conducted on EN AW-2024 Alclad aluminium alloy sheets. The lubrication efficiency of oleic acid, mineral and vegetable oils with the addition of SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles was determined using the strip drawing test to assess the friction conditions in the flange area in the deep drawing process. The samples in the form of sheet metal strips were pulled between countersamples with a rounded surface at a speed of 2.5 mm/s. Gear oil and oleic acid demonstrated the lowest value of the coefficient of friction (COF) in the whole range of nominal pressures investigated. The lowest efficiency in reducing the COF was shown by hydraulic oil, olive oil and machine oil. A high content of TiO2 nanoparticles (0.5-0.9%wt%) is beneficial in the friction process involving oleic acid.

Efektywność smarowania za pomocą kwasu oleinowego, olejów mineralnych oraz roślinnych z dodatkami nanocząstek SiO2 oraz TiO2 została określona za pomocą testu przeciągania blachy używanego do oceny warunków tarcia panujących w kołnierzowej części wytłoczki w procesie głębokiego wytłaczania. Próbki w postaci pasów blachy przeciągano pomiędzy przeciwpróbkami o zaokrąglonej powierzchni (R = 200 mm) z prędkością 2,5 mm/s. Olej przekładniowy oraz kwas oleinowy zapewniły najmniejszą wartość współczynnika tarcia w całym zakresie analizowanych nacisków nominalnych. Najmniejszą efektywność zmniejszania współczynnika tarcia wykazały olej hydrauliczny, oliwa z oliwek oraz olej maszynowy. Najkorzystniejszy efekt zmniejszenia wartości współczynnika tarcia wynikający z dodatku nanocząstek SiO2 jest widoczny dla kwasu oleinowego przy zawartości nanocząstek 0,5% (wagowo). Wysoka zawartość nanocząstek TiO2 (0,5-0,9% wagowo) jest korzystna podczas procesu tarcia z udziałem kwasu oleinowego.

This paper presents the results of experimental research on the fabrication of thin-walled panels with longitudinal stiffening ribs by the single point incremental sheet forming technique. The bead-stiffened panels were made of Alclad 2024-T3 aluminium alloy sheets commonly used in aircraft structures. The influence of forming parameters and tool strategy on surface quality and the possibility of obtaining stiffening ribs with the required profile and depth was tested through experimental research. Two tool path strategies, spiral with continuous sinking and multi-step z-level contouring, were considered. The results of the experiments were used to verify the finite element-based numerical simulations of the incremental forming process. It was found that the main parameter which influences the formability of test sheets is the tool path strategy; the tool path strategy with multi-step z-level contouring allowed the rib to be formed to a depth of 3.53 mm without risk of cracking. However a greater depth of rib equal of 5.56 mm was achieved with the continuous tool path. The tool path strategy was also the main parameter influencing the surface finish of the drawpiece during the single point incremental forming process.

The paper presents the results of research aimed at comparing two stringer joining technologies of stiffened panels. Experimental tests were carried out on the basis of uniaxial compression of thin-walled panels stiffened with two parallel stringers. The panels consist of a skin plate and stringers joined with two techniques: riveting and refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW). The aim of the investigations was to determine the amount of the critical load, the character of the structure's work in the range of post-buckling behaviour and the mode of panel destruction. For deformation measurements, an optical scanner Aramis based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique was used. The research conducted enabled the assessment of the effectiveness of the RFSSW technology of joining the semi-monocoque structures, taking into account the range of post-critical deformations caused both to the local and global loss of stability. The compression tests have shown that the plate with welded stringers with a spacing of 29.5 mm exhibits the ultimate load similar to the variant of the riveted panel. It was also observed that the nature and number of buckling half-waves depend on the applied load and spacing between connectors.

This article presents the results of research aimed at determining the influence of selected nanofillers of vinyl ester resin on the mechanical properties of the cured resin. The influence of the resin with nanofillers as a matrix on the properties of the unidirectional CFRP composite was also investigated. Graphite, silicon oxide and titanium dioxide nanopowders were used as resin nanofillers. Each of the fillers was considered in two different contents, i.e. 1 wt.% and 2 wt.%. The variants with such nanofillers content were compared with the unfilled reference variant. The uniaxial tensile strength tests of the resin samples were carried out, showing the possibility of increasing the strength by 19.35% for the variant 1 wt.% of silica nanopowder content. For CFRP composites, the possibility of increasing the strength in the three-point bending test by 25.57% due to the use of a matrix reinforced with graphite nanopowder with a content of 1 wt.% was demonstrated. Based on the analysis of fracture surfaces performed using SEM microscopy, it was shown that the fillers used lead to a significant improvement in the adhesion of the matrix to the composite fibers.

Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding (RFSSW) is a technology used for joining solid materials that was developed in Germany in 2002 by GKSS-GmbH as a variant of the conventional friction stir spot welding (FSSW) [1]. In the RFSSW technology, the welding tool consists of a fixed outer part and rotating inner parts, which are called a pin and a sleeve. The tool for RFSSW is designed to plasticize the material of the parts to be joined by means of a rotary movement. The design of the tool allows independent vertical movement of both elements of the welding tool. This allows obtaining spot welds without creating holes that could weaken the structure. The main advantage of RFSSW is the potential for replacing the technologies that add weight to the structure or create discontinuities, such as joining with screws or rivets. Thus, RFSSW has great potential in the automotive, shipbuilding and aviation industries. Furthermore, the technology can be used to join different materials that could not be connected using other joining methods. The main objective of this work is to understand the physical and mechanical aspects of the RFSSW method - including the residual stress state inside the weld and around the joint. The results of the investigations can help to determine optimal parameters that could increase the strength and fatigue performance of the joint and to prove the significant advantage of RFSSW connections over other types of joints. The work assumes the correlation of two mutually complementary investigation methods: numerical analyses and experimental studies carried out with diffraction methods. The comparison between numerical and experimental results makes potentially possible the determination of degree of fatigue degradation of the material by observing the macroscopic stress state and the broadening of the diffraction peak width (FWHM), which is an indicator of the existence of micro-stress related to the dislocation density and grain size.

The paper presents the results of experimental research aimed at determining the possibilities of strengthening structural adhesive joints. Techniques to improve the strength of adhesive joints was to make holes in the front part of the adherends in order to make the joint locally more flexible in the area of stress concentration at the joint edges. The tests were carried out for the lap joints of EN AW-2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheets, which were bonded with Loctite EA3430 epoxy adhesive. Static tests were carried out on the basis of the tensile/shear test. It has been shown that the applied structural modifications allow for an increase in the strength of the joint, in the best variant, an increase in strength of 14.5% was obtained. In addition, it has been shown that making holes in the adherends allows to reduce the spread of strength results.

Cleaning and removal of components of the gating system, and finishing of castings are the most labor-consuming and damaging to health foundry processes. This paper presents the results of an analysis of labor consumption of the process of removal of gating systems of aluminium castings, which were carried out in a conventional manner using a band saw and a boring machine, and using an industrial robot. In the final part of this paper the analysis of occupational hazard of work-stands is presented. It has been shown that the use of robotization leads to an increase both the productivity of the process and work safety. The use of an industrial robot allows to reduce the labor consumption of the process of removal of gating systems by 29,5% in relation to the non-robotized stand. Furthermore, on the robotized stand almost all the time needed for the process of removal of the gating system is connected with the machining. It represents 98.7% of the production cycle. In the case of non-robotized stand, the machining takes 79% of the total time required for treatment of one piece of the casting.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is one of the most modern methods of joining metals and their alloys in a solid state. This method is particularly suitable for joining the materials that are difficult to weld, such as steels and high-strength aluminum, copper and titanium alloys, as well as some nickel, zirconium and copper alloys. It makes it possible to use this method in the production of aviation structures while reducing the labour consumption, cost and weight, while maintaining comparable or higher strength parameters compared to classic methods. However, the face of weld made using the FSW method is often uneven and moreover, the welding process itself introduces tensile stresses in the surface layer, which reduces the fatigue strength of the joints. Brushing is one of the methods of removing the welding burrs. The study investigates the effect of brushing treatment on the selected properties of the surface layer of butt welds of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy. The research was carried out with the use of wire brushes and cutting brushes with ceramic fibers. The analysis of the obtained results showed that brushing with using a wire brush at a feed rate of 70 mm/min (variant 1) introduced the most favorable residual stresses, while brushing with a ceramic brush at a feed rate of 100 mm/min (variant 4) provided the lowest roughness parameters.

PL

Zgrzewanie tarciowe z przemieszaniem FSW (ang. Friction Stir Welding) jest jedną z najnowocześniejszych metod łączenia metali i ich stopów w stanie stałym. Metoda ta jest szczególnie przydatna do łączenia materiałów trudno spawalnych, jak na przykład stale i wysoko wytrzymałe stopy aluminium, miedzi i tytanu, a także niektóre stopy niklu, cyrkonu i miedzi. Daje to możliwość stosowania tej metody przy produkcji struktur lotniczych przy jednoczesnym obniżeniu pracochłonności, kosztów i ich ciężaru, zachowując porównywalne lub wyższe parametry wytrzymałościowe w porównaniu do metod klasycznych. Lico spoiny wykonanej metodą FSW jest jednak często nierówne a ponadto sam proces zgrzewania wprowadza rozciągające naprężenia własne w warstwie wierzchniej, co skutkuje obniżeniem wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej złączy. Jednym ze sposobów usunięcia zadziorów powstałych podczas zgrzewania jest obróbka szczotkowaniem. W pracy przeprowadzono badania wpływu obróbki szczotkowaniem na wybrane właściwości warstwy wierzchniej spoin blach ze stopu aluminium 2024-T3. Badania prowadzono z wykorzystaniem szczotek drucianych oraz szczotek tnących z włóknami ceramicznymi. Analiza uzyskanych wyników wykazała, że szczotkowanie szczotką drucianą przy posuwie 70 mm/min (wariant 1) wprowadza najkorzystniejsze naprężenia własne, natomiast szczotkowanie szczotką ceramiczną firmy Xebec przy posuwie 100 mm/min (wariant 4) powoduje zmniejszenie parametrów chropowatości.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies determining the effect of temperature on the shear strength of the adhesive joint between the layers of the fiber metal laminate (FML). The tests were carried out for composites being a combination of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheet and Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) made in the autoclave process. The key factor determining the quality of layered composites is the high strength adhesive joint between the layers. Due to the possibility of extreme temperature conditions during utilization of the composite structure, tests were carried out at reduced temperatures, i.e. -60°C, as well as elevated temperatures, i.e. 80°C. The obtained results were related to the results obtained at a room temperature (RT). The study showed that at the elevated temperature the shear strength increased by approx. 10% compared to the result obtained at room temperature. There is also a significant reduction in the stiffness of the joint as the temperature increases. In turn, a slight increase in joint stiffness was demonstrated for the reduced temperature.

Próby przeprowadzono dla kompozytów będących połączeniem blachy ze stopu aluminium 2024-T3 oraz kompozytu szklanego polimerowo-włóknistego (ang. Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer - GFRP) wykonanych w procesie autoklawowym. Kluczowym czynnikiem determinującym jakość kompozytów warstwowych jest wysokiej wytrzymałości połączenie adhezyjne pomiędzy warstwami. Ze względu na możliwość występowania różnych warunków temperaturowych w procesie eksploatacyjnym struktury kompozytowej, zrealizowano badania w temperaturach obniżonej tj. -60°C, a także podwyższonej tj. 80°C. Uzyskane rezultaty odniesiono do wyników uzyskanych w temperaturze pokojowej. W pracy wykazano, że w podwyższonej temperaturze dochodzi do wzrostu wytrzymałości na ścinanie o ok. 10% w stosunku do rezultatu uzyskanego w temperaturze pokojowej. Dochodzi tu także do znacznego obniżenia sztywności połączenia wraz ze wzrostem temperatury. Dla obniżonej temperatury wykazano z kolei nieznaczny wzrost sztywności połączenia.

This paper presents research regarding refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) of EN AW-7075-T6 Alclad aluminium alloy sheets, and the joint behaviour under static and dynamic loads. Single-point lap joint of sheets with different thicknesses, which corresponds to those used in aircraft fuselage structures, i.e. upper sheets with a thickness of 1.6 mm and lower sheets with a thickness of 0.8 mm, were analysed regarding the failure mechanism in static shear testing. It has been shown that a properly made joint is destroyed as a result of tension in the lower plate. The lower plate at the edge of the weld is structurally weakened by the HAZ, but also geometrically due to plastic deformation during the welding process, which has been demonstrated by metallographic investigations as well as by the FEM numerical model. Single-row RFSSW welded joints with different spacing of the welds and a riveted joint were impact tested. It has been shown that welded joints are characterized by a greater stiffness, which is higher when the spacing of the welds is smaller.

Jednopunktowe połączenie zakładkowe blach o różnej grubości co odpowiada połączeniom stosowanym w konstrukcjach kadłubów lotniczych tj. górna blacha o grubości 1.6 mm oraz dolna blacha o grubości 0.8 mm, poddano analizie mechanizmu zniszczenia w próbie statycznego ścinania. Wykazano, że poprawnie wykonane połączenie ulega zniszczeniu na skutek rozciągania dolnej blachy. Dolna blacha przy krawędzi zgrzeiny jest osłabiona strukturalnie przez strefę wpływu ciepła, ale także geometrycznie poprzez deformację plastyczną powstałą podczas procesu zgrzewania, co wykazano na podstawie badań metalograficznych jak również przy użyciu modelu numerycznego MES. Jednorzędowe połączenia zakładkowe poddano badaniom udarności. Badano połączenia zgrzewane RFSSW o różnym rozstawie zgrzein oraz połączenie nitowane. Wykazano, że połączenia zgrzewane charakteryzują się większą sztywnością, która jest tym większa im mniejszy rozstaw zgrzein.

Refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) is a solid state joining technology that has the potential to replace processes such as the open-air fusion bonding technique and rivet technology in aerospace applications. Selection of proper RFSSW parameters is a crucial task which is important to ensure the mechanical strength of the joint. The aim of this paper is to undertake numerical modelling of the RFSSW process to understand the physics of the welding process, which involves large deformations, complex contact conditions and steep temperature gradients. Three-dimensional fully coupled thermo-mechanical models of RFSSW joints between Alclad 7075-T6 aluminium alloy sheets have been built in the finite-element-based program Simufact Forming. The simulation results included the temperature distribution and the stress and strain distributions in the overlap joint. The results of numerical computations have been compared with experimental ones. The numerical model was able to predict the mechanics of material flow during the joining of sheets of Alclad aluminium alloys using RFSSW. The predictions of the temperature gradient in the weld zone were in good agreement with the temperature measured experimentally. The numerical models that have been built are capable of simulating RFSSW to reduce the number of experiments required to set optimal welding parameters.

The final accuracy of the parts formed using single point incremental forming greatly depends on the mechanical properties of the material to be formed and the residual stress formation. In this paper, an X-ray diffraction technique was used to study the distribution of the residual stress along the generating line of the conical drawpiece. A DC04 steel sheet with a thickness of 0.8 mm was used as a test material. The basic mechanical properties of the DC04 sheet metal were determined in the uniaxial tensile test according to the EN ISO 6892–1:2016. It was found that the maximum amount of the residual stress existed in a point located in the midway between a base and a truncation of the drawpiece. In the outer surface of the drawpiece, the orange peel defect associated with a rough surface appearance after SPIF a drawpiece, was observed. In contrast, the inner surface of component was characterized by linear grooves associated with the interaction of tool tip with the sheet surface. This defect is mainly influenced by vertical step size.

The paper presents the results pertaining to an analysis on the influence of technological parameters of pneumatic shot peening technology on the selected properties of a surface layer of butt joints made with Friction stir weld‑ ing (FSW) method. Butt joints made of two 2024‑T3 aluminum alloy sheets with the thickness of 1 mm were shot peened with glass beads. The experiments were carried out according to the statistical 3‑level completed plan PS/DC 32 . The technological parameters were changed in the range: pressure p = 0.4–0.6 MPa and peening time t = 1–3 min. As a result of the conducted research, adequate equations describing the effect of the analyzed parameters on the surface roughness were obtained. Shot peening with glass beads significantly reduced the sur‑ face roughness from Ra = 5.2 µm to Ra = 1.42 µm. This treatment provides high compressive residual stresses and the increase of the surface layer hardness. The results show that shot peening is a highly efficient and cost‑effective mechanical treatment used for improving the mechanical properties of the butt joints made with the FSW method.
