Estudo da influência dos parâmetros de soldagem MIG e da morfologia do cordão no comportamento à fadiga de juntas soldadas de um eixo traseiro veicular.

Abstract in Portuguese
Atualmente a maioria dos veículos de passeio, pequenos e médios, são equipados com eixo traseiro do tipo interdependente. Seu baixo custo de fabricação e instalação fácil faz dele o preferido pela indústria automotiva. Normalmente, o eixo traseiro interdependente é um conjunto soldado e sua fabricação requer um controle do processo e qualidade das juntas soldadas de alto nível, devido a uma característica típica de projeto: eixos traseiros interdependentes possuem tensões críticas nos seus cordões de solda. Neste estudo, foi avaliado o quanto alterações nos parâmetros de soldagem afetam a geometria da solda e esta, por sua vez, compromete a vida à fadiga de um eixo interdependente. Através da variação dos parâmetros primários de soldagem (corrente, tensão e velocidade de soldagem), foi criado duas classes de eixos: classe A - 22V; 235A; 9mm/seg e classe B - 29V, 302A; 15mm/seg. Estes eixos foram submetidos a um ensaio de torção com carga em amplitude constante e seus desempenhos foram medidos através da curva de vida à fadiga. A variação dos parâmetros de soldagem afetou a geometria do cordão de solda, provocando nos eixos da classe B o surgimento de defeitos como baixa penetração da solda e mordedura. O resultado da análise metalográfica indica que estes defeitos influenciaram na resistência à fadiga dos eixos. A fractografia das fraturas confirmou que as falhas ocorreram por fadiga.

Abstract in English
Nowadays most of the light, small and medium vehicles are equipped with a twist beam rear axle. Its low-cost production and easy assembly makes it the favorite axle type for the automotive industries and suspension developers. Usually the twist beam rear axle is a welded assembly and its production request a process control and high-level quality of the welded joint, due to a typical project characteristic: twist beam rear axle have critical tensions in their welds beads. It was evaluated in this study, how much the alterations in the welding parameters affects the weld bead geometry and this, for its time, affects the fatigue life of the twist beam rear axle. Through the variation of the welding primary parameters (welding current, arc voltage and welding speed), it was manufactured two classes of the axles: class "A" - 22V; 235A; 9mm/seg and class "B" - 29V, 302A; 15mm/seg. These axles were submitted the constant amplitude fatigue torsion testing and your performance were measured through the fatigue life curve. The variation of the welding parameters affected the weld bead geometry, inducing on the class "B" axle, the appearance of defects as low weld penetration and undercut. The metalography investigation indicates that these defects influenced in the fatigue life resistance. The fractures fractography confirmed that the flaws happened for fatigue.
