“…Each year, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels are used much more in: construction [1], automotive [2] and offshore structures [3]. Application of HSLA steels brings benefits in the form of reduction of thickness and weight of elements, reduction of welding costs and improvement of construction properties [4][5][6][7].…”

Wet welding is the most common method of welding in water environment. It is most often used for repairing of underwater parts of offshore structures. However, the water as a welding environment causes an increase of susceptibility of steels to cold cracking. For underwater constructions high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel are widely used. In wet welding condition a HSLA steel is characterized by high susceptibility to cold cracking. Temper Bead Welding (TBW) was chosen as a method to improve the weldability of S460N steel. The studies showed that TBW technique causes significant decrease of maximum hardness of heat affected zone (HAZ). The largest decrease in hardness occurred in specimens with the pitches in range 66-100%.

“…Topac (2008) evaluated the fatigue failure prediction and fatigue life of a rear axle housing prototype by using Finite element analysis of heavy duty truck. The expected load cycles required to fail during the vertical fatigue tests of a rear axle housing prototype is studied and mechanical properties were determined of housing material [2]. N. León , O. Martínez, P. Orta C., P. Adaya (2000) performed Various experiments and numerical methods were adopted to obtain the stress analysis of a frontal truck axle beam and improved the quality of product by reducing the development time has given the case studies on front axle beam where he explains the complete procedure of analysis of front axle beam.…”

Front axles can be live axles and dead axles. A live front axle contains the differential mechanism through which the engine power flows towards the front wheels. Almost all automobile have front axle. A Design and optimization of axles weight is the important for manufacturing and maintain the weight of axles with higher rigidity under working conditions. Several attempts for optimization of axles has been carried out by many researchers considering the static parameters to run the component for safer working conditions .The weight reduction of the drive have a important role in the general weight reduction of the vehicle, if it can be achieved without increase in most and decrease in quality and reliability . It is possible to achieve design of front axle with less weight to increase the first . The main objective of this paper is to focus on to study the various methods preferred for designing and optimizing the axles for safer working under various boundary conditions.
