MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF RESISTANCE SPOT BRAZING JOINT OF ULTRA-THIN AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL by TANG Lun, YU ShengFu, WANG Jie

“…The results show that the resistance spot brazing joint is composed of the brazing zone, the thermomechanical affected zone and the base material; With the increase of welding current and electrode pressure, the thickness of the brazing zone decreases and the dynamic recrystallization degree of the thermomechanical affected zone increases; The high cooling rate inhibits the element diffusion between the brazing joint and the base metal, the phases of the brazing joint are nickel based solid solution and dispersively distributed fine Cr₂B and Ni₃B particles, the maximum shear resistance of the joint is 118.3 N; The maximum load pressure of the package element reaches 0.53 MPa, which indicates that the resistance spot brazing joint of ultra-thin austenitic stainless steel has excellent air tightness.…”

RESEARCH ON SHUTDOWN STRESS AND FATIGUE LIFE OF AIR CONDITIONING PIPING by WANG Xuan, ZHANG JieXi, HUANG JianNan

“…The results show that: The piping will be subjected to 2 ～ 3 stress shocks at the shutdown moment,the average number of shocks is 2. 6 times; The first impact stress is the largest,and the subsequent impact stress attenuates slightly;Vibration table and counterweight block can be used to generate stable stress impact,which can reach millions of times in a short time,and the component fatigue can be verified quickly; Piping bending will reduce the piping fatigue life,the operating pressure and temperature have little influence on pipe fatigue life,welding has little influence on piping,since there is a distance between the welded part and the bent part; In order to ensure the piping reliability under the limit state,the piping shutdown stress should be below 62 MPa.…”
