Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a weldable component with a gradient structure going from one material which is weldable to a substrate, to a second material which is not weldable to the same substrate, and a method of preparation of such as a shape by sintering, preferably by spark plasma sintering (SPS).
- SPS spark plasma sintering
- a cermet is a composite material composed of ceramic (cer) and metallic (met) materials.
- Tungsten carbide (WC) often referred to as cemented tungsten carbide or hard metal, for example, is extensively used in the mining and construction industry as heavy wear components.
- WC tungsten carbide
- a metallic binder generally cobalt, nickel, iron, or their equivalent that generally makes the carbide a cermet and differentiates it from truly brittle materials, that is, the ceramic family of materials.
- “cemented” is also used to show that the carbide alloy powder includes an amount of metallic binder. During the sintering process, the tungsten carbide particles are captured in the metallic binder and cemented together by forming a metallurgical bond.
- Ceramic materials and cermets are not weldable by nature, hence the use of other joining methods such as brazing.
- Brazing is a relatively slow manufacturing process compared to welding and has limitations in where it can be used. These limitations have in turn limited the scope of using these materials for wear protection and wear parts.
- Arc welding is a fusion welding process that uses electricity to generate the heat needed to melt the base metals.
- Stud welding is an industrially mature technology, which is a kind of arc welding. By leading current through a bolt, nut or other specially formed parts, the component is welded onto another metal part by the heat generated through electrical resistance.
- DA Drawn Arc
- SC Short Cycle
- DA studs are typically loaded with an aluminium flux ball on the weld end, which aids in the welding process.
- the DA studs are used along with a ceramic ring or inert gas to protect the joint from oxidation during the melting phase of the welding process.
- SC and CD studs differ from DA studs in that the studs do not require flux nor the oxidation protection in form of a ceramic ring or inert gas during welding, due to shorter welding times than for DA.
- Stud welding is very versatile. Portable stud welding machines are available. Welders can also be automated, with controls for arcing and applying pressure. Typical applications include automobile bodies, electrical panels, shipbuilding and building construction.
- weld studs made from steel available that are used as weld-on wear protection are used as weld-on wear protection.
- the weld studs are often tempered.
- the properties of the tempered steel might be compromised.
- Previous inventions for joining of different materials in a weld stud are generally based on mechanical anchoring or surface coatings.
- the German company BETEK produces a weldable stud comprising tungsten carbide, where a solid cemented tungsten carbide core is shrink-fitted to a steel body which in turn fits a stud welding machine.
- the downside with this product is the more complicated manufacturing process, where the cemented tungsten carbide needs to be sintered, the steel body needs machining and finally the two components are joined by shrink-fitting. Also, if the ceramic core falls out, the wear protection is severely reduced.
- An object is to provide a weld stud of a functionally graded material (FGM) component prepared by sintering, preferably by spark plasma sintering (SPS), where a weldable material base is combined with an outer surface of a different, non-weldable material.
- FGM functionally graded material
- SPS spark plasma sintering
- Another object is to provide a method of preparation of said weld stud.
- a weld stud adapted to be welded against a substrate comprises a first, second and third portion.
- the first portion comprises a first material M1
- the second portion comprises a second material M2, weldable to the substrate
- the third portion comprises at least one of: a material being weldable to the substrate, and a flux material adapted to facilitate the welding of the second material M2 to the substrate.
- the weld stud further comprises a length axis running through said first, second and third portion.
- the third portion comprises a cross section perpendicular to the length axis having a smaller area than the average cross-section area of the first and second portions perpendicular to the length axis.
- the first material M1 and second material M2 are bonded with a gradual transition, wherein the first material M1 is not weldable to the substrate, and the second material M2 is weldable to the substrate. Furthermore, the first and second portions comprise a sintered transition region comprising a mix of the first M1 and the second M2 materials. [0016] By providing the FGM weld stud, a non-weldable material can be welded onto a substrate which makes it possible to apply materials with superior properties to substrates by means of welding.
- the weld stud comprises a rounded (4) or tapered (4a; 4b) portion adapted to initiate contact with the substrate which is crucial for a homogeneous melt of the materials and the best possible result when welding.
- the rounded or tapered portion may comprise a flux for facilitating and/or improving the weld between the substrate and the weld stud.
- the non-weldable surface can preferable be of a ceramic material or a cermet.
- the non-weldable surface preferably has a good wear resistance.
- Other desirable properties of this surface can be low weight, high corrosion resistance and an insulating nature.
- the non-weldable surface can have different shapes, such as flat, tapered and spherical.
- tungsten carbide often referred to as cemented tungsten carbide or hard metal.
- Suitable materials are ceramic oxides, nitrides, borides or other carbides.
- aluminium oxide (AI2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) are suitable for this invention.
- the non-weldable material can also be a metal or metal alloy which is not weldable to the substrate.
- the weldable material is preferably a metal or metal alloy, but can also be plastic.
- weldable metals including their alloys are aluminium, nickel, gold, platinum, titanium, tantalum and zirconium. Further, steel and some stainless steel alloys (300 and 400 series) are weldable.
- the weldable material is preferably a steel alloy or a stainless steel alloy.
- the weld stud is a FGM weld stud made of steel/cemented tungsten carbide (steel / WC-Co FGM).
- the weld stud is a FGM weld stud of stainless steel /cemented tungsten carbide (SS / WC-Co FGM).
- the weld stud is a FGM weld stud of stainless steel or steel /aluminium oxide (SS / AI2O3 FGM).
- the weld stud is a FGM weld stud of stainless steel or steel /zirconium oxide (SS / Zr02 FGM).
- the non-weldable material M1 does not comprise 100% of one material, but also some portion of the weldable material.
- the shape of the weld stud can be achieved directly through the sintering, or the stud can be machined to proper geometry after the sintering.
- a cylindrical shape with circular cross section is very common for weld studs, and is one shape possible for the present invention.
- the shape of the weld stud is however not limited to the circular cross- section, but the cross-section can also be square, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal or of other similar shapes.
- a tip or a slightly conical structure of the welding surface is in many cases suitable for the weld studs. This shape can be machined after the sintering or the component can be sintered into this shape. [0037] A hole in the tip of the conical part can be formed for receiving a piece or slug of welding flux which may be aluminium or some other similar material used as flux in welding.
- the wear resistant material of a gradient weld studs is present throughout the wear surface and the gradient region, because of the gradual compositional change between the two materials. This further improves the wear properties and the lifespan of the components, compared to components with a wear resistant surface coating.
- a ceramic material's properties such as hardness are not affected by the heat during a welding process, and the properties will not change after the welding.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing the weld stud. More specifically the invention relates to a method for producing a ceramic or cermet/metal FGM, shaped as a weld stud. The method comprises the following steps:
- Fig. 1 shows a weld stud according to one embodiment having a functionally graded material structure, where portion I comprises a wear resistant part, portion II comprises a weldable part and portion 5 comprises a gradual transition between the two materials with four intermediate layers i-iv,

- a functionally graded material is thus a material bonded with a gradual transition from at least a first to at least a second material.
- FGMs can be prepared through different techniques such as
- SPS spark plasma sintering method
- FAST field assisted sintering technique
- SPS field assisted sintering technique
- Other sintering techniques could possibly also be used for preparing FGMs, such as for example direct hot- pressing, hot-pressing or hot isostatic pressing.
- a flux is to be understood as a chemical cleaning agent, flowing agent, or purifying agent used in welding for preventing oxides from forming on the surface of the molten metal and/or absorbing impurities.
- the flux could for example comprise a piece of aluminium, however it is also conceivable that the flux is a flux comprising ammonium chloride, hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride or borax.

- Fig. 2 shows a weld stud 1 according to one embodiment.
- the weld stud 1 is adapted to be welded against a substrate (shown as reference numeral 2 in fig. 5) by means of electric resistance welding.
