| Influence of nonmetallic inclusions (NMI) contained in low-alloyed steels on joint formation in flash-butt welding was studied. NMI including chemical elements not specified by standards in this steel class were considered. It is shown that presence of such NMI in steel impairs its weldability, particularly, if they contain elements forming refractory oxides. Methods of improvement of flash-butt welding technologies in welding steels with an increased NMI content are outlined. | |

| Repair technologies for removal of defects in main pipelines require substantiation for characteristic typical cases of fitness for service. For this, corresponding calculation algorithms are developed to determine the risk of failure of a repaired defect depending upon its size, repair method and operational conditions. The study describes the developed approach by an example of selection of the technology for repair of cracks. | |

| Mathematical model is presented, describing the heat and mass transfer processes occurring in interaction of external gas environment with a turbulent flow of the arc plasma generated by plasmatron with an anode wire. Comparative numerical analysis of spatial distributions of heat, gas-dynamic and other characteristics of the turbulent jet of the argon plasma blown about with laminar argon and air flows, as well as emitted into a quiescent gas, was conducted. | |
| Bokota A. and Piekarska W. Modeling of residual stresses in laser welding | 19 |
| Mathematical model and calculation of strains and stresses, occurring in laser welding of a steel sheet, are presented. For determination of the temperature field equation of heat conductivity with a convective term is used, solved by the method of Green function. Model of phase transformations is based on the diagram of continuous cooling of welded steel in Avrami, Koistinen and Marburger equations. When determining temporal and residual stresses depending upon a heat load and phase transformations, connection of thermophysical parameters with temperature and phase composition of steel is taken into account. In the model of stresses structural and transformation strains are taken into account. | |

| Albert F., Grimm A., Kageler C. and Schmidt M. Laser-based welding and brazing in automotive production Е investigations to reduce failures and imperfections | 30 |
| Laser welding and brazing are gaining more importance in today`s automotive production. Both methods offer the potential for fast joining processes and a decrease of rework. A robust process management is, however, a precondition to achieve defect-free welding and brazing results. Two research projects are focusing on this problem at the Bavarian Laser Center (Bayerisches Laserzentrum). Solutions for laser welding of zinc-coated steel sheets in an overlap configuration and laser brazing of visible joints are examined. | |

| Methods of manufacturing rapidly quenched braze alloys in the form of 0.3Д6.0 mm diameter wire from hard-to-deform materials in the plastic state are considered. Composition of braze alloys on Cu-P, Cu-P-Sn, Cu-Zn-P-Ni base and other systems develop the quasi-eutectic structure containing supersaturated solid solution with distributed phases of copper phosphide as a result of quenching. Examples of application of rapidly quenched braze alloys are given. | |
| Poklyatsky A.G. Characteristic defects in FSW of sheet aluminuim alloys and main causes for their formation | 39 |
| Characteristic defects formed in friction stir welds on aluminium alloy sheets (1.8-2.5 mm) are considered. The effect of the main welding process parameters and different technological factors on formation of these defects was studied. Main causes of lacks-of-fusion, formation of flash and overheating of metal on the weld metal face, as well as lacks-of-fusion in the root part of the welds and formation of defects in the form of discontinuities in their central part were established. Designs of the tools were developed, and ranges of variation of the main process parameters were determined, providing sound friction stir welded joints on aluminium alloy sheets. | |
