Filler metal distribution and processing stability in laser-arc hybrid welding of thick HSLA steel

Selection of Arc Welding Parameters of Micro Alloyed Hsla Steel

Like all steel types, HSLA requires a definition and strict practical adherence to welding parameters in order to achieve the required weld quality. Different sources offer a varying array of welding parameters. Although their hierarchical importance can be disputed, their principal definition and practical adherence are prerequisites for the quality of welded joints 1,2 . The analysis of earli...

Stainless steel manual metal arc welding fumes in rats.

Forty two male Wistar rats were exposed to manual metal arc (MMA) stainless steel (SS) welding fumes generated by an automatic welding device for "nose-only" exposure. The exposure simulated an actual MMA/SS welding environment as closely as possible. For the retention study, the duration of exposure was one hour per workday for one, two, three, of four weeks and for the clearance study four we...

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Narrow Gap Laser-Arc Hybrid Welded 40 mm Thick Mild Steel

Both laser-arc hybrid welding and narrow gap welding have potential for the fabrication of thick sections, but their combination has been seldom studied. In this research, 40 mm thick mild steel was welded by narrow gap laser-arc hybrid welding. A weld with smooth layer transition, free of visible defects, was obtained by nine passes at a 6 mm width narrow gap. The lower part of the weld has th...
