摘要
Advanced high strength steels used in automotive structural components are commonly protected using zinc coatings. However, the steel/zinc system creates the potential for liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during welding. Although LME cracks are known to form, limited research has found any detrimental impact of LME cracks on weld strength. In this work, a comparison of zinc coated and uncoated advanced high strength steel joints showed LME decreased strength in welds from transformation induced plasticity type microstructures and an 1100 MPa ultimate tensile strength by 43.6%. LME cracks were observed to propagate until final fracture. However, only cracks located in the periphery of the weld area were found contribute to a loss in strength.
