Ultrasonic Identification of Weld Defects Made by Electrofusion Welding on Plastic Pipelines

Experimental Analysis of Effects of Ultrasonic Welding on Weld Strength of Polypropylene Composite Samples

In the present study, method of ultrasonic welding of plastics is used to join the overlap of Polypropylene composites reinforced with glass fiber. The effects of process parameters, including time, pressure, vibration amplitude and amount of glass in composite on strength of welds. To reduce the number of tests and cost, the effect of changing parameters on strength was examined through Box-Be...

Noise Reduction in Ultrasonic Signals for Identification of Weld Defects: A Review

In Ultrasonic Inspection, the first and foremost step to find the defects in welding materials used in industrial applications is Noise Reduction. It is used to improve the detect ability of the weld defects. It plays a vital role in Flaw Detection and Characterization of materials such as Austenitic Stainless Steels etc. This study gives a review of various noise reduction schemes or technique...

Examination of Weld Defects by Computed Tomography

Ispitivanje grešaka zavara kompjutorskom tomografi jom. Ispitivane su greške u zavarenom spoju niskougljičnog čelika S235JR debljine 6 mm zavarenog MAG postupkom. Uzorak koji sadrži greške naljepljivanja i pore je ispitivan kompjutorskom tomografi jom KT. Programskom analizom tomografa je određena veličina i pozicija grešaka naljepljivanja kao i dimenzije i raspored pratećih pora u zavarenom sp...

Ultrasonic phased array inspection of electrofusion joints in polyethylene pipes

The use of plastic as a pipe material for the transport of gas and water has increased over the last few years, attributed to the significant advantages of this material such as corrosion resistance, strengthto-weight ratio, lightness, flexibility and cost. Consequently, these pipes have a long predicted service life. One of the pipes’ joining processes is electrofusion welding. As for all kind...
