Abstract
FeCo-V alloys are one of the most important groups of magnetic material which currently used in high speed engines due to their excellent magnetic and mechanical properties. Welding of these alloys is a great challenge since various phase transformation result in significant changes in magnetic and mechanical properties. In this research ultra-thin FeCo-V magnetic foils were welded using laser and electron beam welding processes. After development of mathematical models, working limits of process parameters were chosen to obtain welded joints which have simultaneously appropriate maximum energy product and mechanical strength.

Abstract
Weldability of high carbon steels due to the high percentage of carbon and consequently formation of martensitic structure is very poor. In this research, resistance spot welding of eutectoid high carbon steel 1075 is experimentally and numerically investigated from various points of view. The effect of welding current as one of the most effective parameters on failure mode, mechanical properties and nugget size diameter in resistance spot welding is analyzed with experimental tests and numerical simulations. The results show that with increase of welding current, the diameter of nugget size is increased and consequently the failure mode changes from interfacial mode to pull out mode.

Abstract
In this research, lap joint frictionstir welding of IF sheets with thickness of 0.7 mm is investigated. For this purpose, mechanical properties of joints and also microstructural evolutions are studied. It was found that increase in tool rotational speed and decrease in travel speed results in increase in fracture stress of welded joints. Texture study indicates that no changes can be observed in texture components after friction stir welding. This phenomenon in texture components can be related to high stacking fault energy of IF steel and consequently severe dynamic recrystallization during welding. The results show with increase in the tool rotational speed between 900-1400 Rev/min, ultimate force of fracture of friction stir welded joints is increased. Also, it is concluded from results that with increase in tool travel speed between 50-160 mm/min, ultimate force of fracture of welded joints is decreased. Finally it is proved from results of this paper that in the frictionstir welding of IF sheets with thickness of 0.7 mm, maximum force of fracture of welded joints is achieved in rotational speed of 1400 Rev/min and travel speed of 105 mm/min.

Abstract
In this paper, resistance spot welding process of AISI 201 stainless steel is studied experimentally. For this purpose, effect of welding current on quality of weld is investigated and relationships between welding current and fusion zone characteristics are examined. For determining mechanical properties such as maximum load and fracture mode, tensile - shear test of spot welds is performed. Hardness and microstructural examinations are performed for study the influence of welding current on characteristics of welded joints. The results show that strength of resistance spot welds of AISI 201 stainless steel is increased with increase in welding current. Transition of fracture mode from interfacial to pullout and then pullout with tearing of sheet mode during tensile-shear tests of AISI 201 spot welds is investigated through experimental and theoretical approaches. It is concluded from results that increasing in welding current leads to change in fracture mode from interfacial to pullout mode due to increase in fusion zone size (weld nugget size). Also, it is observed that increasing in fusion zone size is accompanied by an increase in load carrying capacity of resistance spot welds. The minimum required fusion zone size to ensure pullout fracture mode is estimated using an analytical model.

Abstract
In this research, two different filler metals, ERNiCrMo-3 and ER309L, were used for developing different microstructure, austenite (γ) and austenite and ferrite (γ+δ) in the weld metal and fatigue properties of welded samples were evaluated in the air and sea water environments. Microstructural studies indicated a good agreement between predicted microstructures via schiffler diagram and metallographic studies. Evaluation of fatigue properties in the air and sea water environments revealed the austenitic weld metal, like base metal microstructure, improved the fatigue strength of welded samples. Fractographic studies and FESEM-EDS analysis showed more ductile fracture of welded samples by using ERNiCrMo-3, formation of more uniform and deeper dimples in the final zone of fatigue fracture, than that of welded samples by using ER309L. Furthermore, unlike dimple formation centers in welded samples by using ER309L, Mo-Ti rich intermetallics caused formation of dimples in the welded sampled via ERNiCrMo-3.

Abstract
In this paper, numerical and empirical investigations of the effect of AISI 347 stainless steel interlayer on the microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture mode of AISI 321 stainless steel resistance spot welds have been conducted. For this purpose, two types of joints, the first free from inter layer and the second contains interlayer with 0.05 mm thickness as well as difference currents and times,were evaluated. In order to examine the mechanical properties including maximum force and tensile mode, tensile – shear test of the spot welds was done. The obtained results indicated that an increase in the welding time and current resulted in a change in fracture mode from interfacial to peripheral owing to an increase in fusion zone volume. The change in the chemical composition because of the presence of interlayer and an increase in cooling rate caused the formation of different phases as well as observation of the dispersed Martensite phase in fusion zone.

Abstract
In this paper, the experimental investigation of formability of friction stir welded ultra-thin sheets of IF steel is investigated experimentally. First, the sheets are joined by friction stir welding process based on the tests determined according to the Taguchi design of experiments. The investigated parameters in the welding process are as tool rotational and traverse speeds. Then, the tailor welded blanks are formed based on dome height test up to the defect stage and the dome height is measured for each test. Therefore, the effects of friction stir welding process parameters on formability of friction stir welded ultra-thin sheets of IF steel are evaluated. The results show that by increasing the rotational speed, the dome height in forming process decreases, while with increasing the traverse speed, the formability of tailor welded blanks by friction stir welding process improves. Also, the results of optimization based on signal to noise ratio method show that the tool rotational speed has the greatest effect on the dome height of tailor welded blank.

Abstract
In the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar joint of Inconel 625 (IN-625) superalloy to austenitic stainless steel AISI316L (SS-316L) via AWS-BNi3 interface layer and transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding process were evaluated and necessary conditions for creating an efficient joint were determined. TLP bonding was performed in temperature and time range of 1050-1150ºC and 5-20min, respectively, under the protection of argon shielding gas with a purity of 99.9995%. Microstructural (OM and SEM) and phase (XRD) studies revealed that bonding at 1150 ° C for 20 min results in completion of isothermal solidification and develops a uniform gamma (γ) phase at the bonding zone. Cooling the samples before completion of isothermal solidification results in the formation of chromium and molybdenum-rich eutectic compounds at the bonding centerline. The continuous morphology of the eutectic compounds caused a sharp drop in the shear strength of the specimens (~50% reduction of shear strength). The inter-diffusion of alloying elements between the bonding area and the surrounding base metal results in the formation of chromium carbide in the IN-625 and chromium- boron compounds in the SS-316L, which increased the microhardness of these areas compared to the base metals and the bonding zone.

Abstract
In the present research, the coating process of Inconel 718 powder on the H13 steel substrate by direct powder deposition method with the help of 1 KW continuous fiber laser has been investigated. Hence, the effects of process parameters such as laser power, powder feed rate and laser scanning speed on the geometrical characterstics of the clad such as height and width of the clad are examined. In order to perform a comprehensive investigation on the effect of input parameters and their interactions on the height and width of the clad, design of experiment method based on response surface methodology is employed. The results show that the laser scanning speed and powder feed rate are as the important factors affecting the clad height, so that the clad height increases with increasing powder feed rate and decreasing laser scanning rate. Also, it is proved that by increasing the laser power and decreasing the laser scanning speed the width of the clad is increased.
