MAG Welding with Flux-Cored Wires for Stainless Steels.

Emission of dust and gases in tubular cored wire welding of steel.

The emission of dusts and gases, which are generated during tubular cored wire welding and which are hazardous to health and the environment, were studied. Tests included various kinds of tubular electrode wires used for welding steel, that is, rutile flux cored wires, basic flux cored wires, and metal cored wires for welding unalloyed, low-alloy, and high-alloy steels as well as self-shielded ...

Weighted Multivariate Mean Square Error for processes optimization: A case study on flux-cored arc welding for stainless steel claddings

A mathematical programming technique developed recently that optimizes multiple correlated characteristics is the Multivariate Mean Square Error (MMSE). The MMSE approach has obtained noteworthy results, by avoiding the production of inappropriate optimal points that can occur when a method fails to take into account a correlation structure. Where the MMSE approach is deficient, however, is in ...

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF WELDING PASTE CONTAINING GRAPHENE NANOSHEETS ON BONDING PROPERTIES OF WELDED AISI 304 STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCED BY FLUX-CORED ARC WELDING

In this research, the effect of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets on the mechanical and microstructural properties of AISI 304 stainless steel welded joints produced by the flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) method was investigated. Light microscope, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diff...

Sensitivity model for prediction of bead geometry in underwater wet flux cored arc welding

To investigate influence of welding parameters on weld bead geometry in underwater wet flux cored arc welding (FCAW), orthogonal experiments of underwater wet FCAW were conducted in the hyperbaric chamber at water depth from 0.2 m to 60 m and mathematical models were developed by multiple curvilinear regression method from the experimental data. Sensitivity analysis was then performed to predic...
