Gas Metal Arc Weld Cladding and its Anti-Corrosive Performance- A Brief Review

Metal Transfer and Arc Plasma in Gas Metal Arc Welding

This article analyzes the transient complex heat transfer and fluid flow in molten metal and arc plasma during the gas metal arc welding process. The model predicts the formation, growth, detachment, and transfer of droplets from the tip of a continuously fed electrode under the influences of several competing forces including gravity, electromagnetic force, arc pressure, plasma shear stress, a...

Prediction and Optimization of Mechanical Properties of St52 in Gas Metal Arc Weld Using Response Surface Methodology and ANOVA

Many researchers have developed algorithms to predict welding parameters. The variety of welding types is broad because the confine mixture of pressure and temperature could be selected. This paper introduces a response surface methodology (RSM) for optimization and prediction of the influence of Ar and CO2 gases and electrical current on tensile strength of St52’s gas metal arc weld (GMAW) lin...

Preparation of Polyaniline-Polystyrene-ZnO Nanocomposite and Characterization of Its Anti-Corrosive Performance

In this research, firstly polyaniline-zinc oxide (PANI-ZnO) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by chemical polymerization of aniline in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles and then, 5%, 10% and 15% solutions of PANI–ZnO nanocomposites were mixed with a solution of polystyrene (PS) in tetrahydrofurane (THF) and PANI-PS-ZnO nanocomposites were obtained. The prepared nanocomposites were used...

Reflection of illumination laser from gas metal arc weld pool surface

The weld pool is the core of the welding process where complex welding phenomena originate. Skilled welders acquire their process feedback primarily from the weld pool. Observation and measurement of the three-dimensional weld pool surface thus play a fundamental role in understanding and future control of complex welding processes. To this end, a laser line is projected onto the weld pool surf...
