Prcgram for flat fillet welding parameters by CO2 arc welding.

Gas tungsten arc welding

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...

Blue-light hazard from CO2 arc welding of mild steel.

OBJECTIVES The objective was to quantify the blue-light hazard from CO(2) arc welding of mild steel. METHODS The spectral radiance of arcs in CO(2) arc welding of mild steel was measured for solid and flux-cored wires at welding currents of 120-480 A. Effective blue-light radiance and the maximum acceptable exposure duration were calculated from the spectral radiance using their definitions i...

Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding

Arc Welding Automation

It is very well known that the use of robotics in the industry increases productivity and quality in many aspects. It is also well known that some adjustments have to be made to grant payback for the investment and to reach the expected results. Today, the robotization is known as an alternate technique for production, increasing qualitative and quantitative competence of its industries. One po...

Generation rate of carbon monoxide from CO2 arc welding.

OBJECTIVES CO poisoning has been a serious industrial hazard in Japanese workplaces. Although incomplete combustion is the major cause of CO generation, there is a risk of CO poisoning during some welding operations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the generation rate of CO from CO2 arc welding under controlled laboratory conditions and estimate the ventilation requirements for the...
