Effect of coating on fiber laser welded joints of DP980 steels
Abstract
Advanced high strength steels (AHSS), specifically dual phase (DP) steels, are extensively used to reduce the weight of vehicles. Fiber laser welding (FLW) has been shown to provide welds with superior mechanical properties made at high welding speeds. Galvannealing (GA) and galvanizing (GI) coated sheet steels are extensively used for auto bodies to improve corrosion resistance. As such, the effect of coating type on the microstructure, …
