BACKGROUND Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding are widely used for mild steel segments in basic metal industries. Pulmonary problems such as asthma, pulmonary inflammation, hyper-responsiveness of airways and higher susceptibility to infections are reported as the result of occupational exposure of welders to ozone and nitrogen oxides. Potent oxidizing agents like...

316L stainless steel joined to mild is widespread in several applications reach a requested good association of mechanical properties at lower cost. The activating tungsten inert gas (ATIG) weld was carried out using modified flux composed 76.63% SiO2 + 13.37% Cr2O3 10% NaF meet standard recommendations terms limiting the root penetration. Modified optimal gave depth penetration 1.84 times grea...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to present the results of welders' occupational exposure to "blue light" and UV radiation carried out at industrial workstations during TIG and MMA welding. MATERIALS AND METHODS Measurements were performed at 13 workstations (TIG welding: 6; MMA welding: 7), at which different welding parameters and materials were used. The radiation level was measured usi...

This paper is focused on the study and the control of a deposition process of robotic arc welding. The process consists of a SMD (Shaped Metal Deposition) system, that is a novel rapid prototyping tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding technique leading to near-net-shape, using a layer by layer deposition technique. An experimental setup has been properly implemented in order to study the system and ...

Tree Insertion Grammar (TIG) is a compromise between Context Free Grammar (CFG) and Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) that can be parsed in O(n3)− time. In the literature, just two parsers for TIGs have been defined, based on the well-known CYK and Earley algorithms for CFGs. In this paper, we define four new parsers for TIGs: three parsers use a bottom-up strategy and the other one uses a predictiv...

Abstract Activated tungsten inert gas (A-TIG) welding is one variant of conventional TIG where a thin layer suitable activating flux deposited on the parent components prior to constituting arc in order harness enhanced penetration. Despite several benefits, industries are still reluctant overwhelmingly using this new variant. This article attempts highlight productivity benefits employing A-TI...

UNLABELLED Infectious diseases endanger all dental personnel during treatment, especially when spatter and aerosols are produced. Therefore, there is a strong need for better infection control principles during all treatments. The purpose of this in-vitro pilot study was to measure the environmental spatter contamination through a fluorescence technique. Scaling was performed using different po...

Twin-wire and arc additive manufacturing (T-WAAM) has potential advantages in improving deposition efficiency functionally graded materials (FGMs), thus attracting much attention. However, there are few studies on the droplet transfer mode of T-WAAM. This paper analyzes swing “TIG + AC” twin-wire cross-arc by in-situ observation with high-speed photography, revealing what factors influence T-WA...
