GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING (GTAW) is the quality weld process. It is preferred welding process for stainless steel, low alloy steel, nickel, cobalt, titanium, aluminum, copper, and magnesium. The present work aims to evaluate the effect of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process parameters on the quality of the weld bead. The process parameters Welding Current, Wire Diameter, Wire Feed Speed, Ratio of w...

Lasers are now being used in the automotive industry to produce seam or stitch welds, as alternatives to conventional resistance spot welding, which are used extensively for attaching auto-body panels to subassemblies. The advantages of laser welding over resistance spot welding result from the smallness of the laser spot size, the large penetration depth of the weld into the material and the r...

The present paper describes fuzzy logic simulation of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process to predict the Quality of weld joint. It describe the quality of weld joint & effect of welding current, voltage and welding speed on tensile strength of shielded metal arc pipe welded mild steel joints. An ERW Mild steel pipe I S 1239 of 6 mm thickness and 150 mm diameter were used as the base mater...

Submerged Arc welding process is automated and semiautomated high deposition down hand welding process not vertical or over welding process, The fundamental difference of this welding process is that the Arc is not visible it is submerged into the flux. Weldment is fully submerged the heat loss is minimum and the thermal efficiency is very high up to 80-90%. A constant power sources and control...

in this study, friction stir spot welding (fssw) is applied to join the tial6v4 titanium alloy with 1.5 mm thickness and then the effect of rotational speed and tool dwell time on microstructure and mechanical properties is investigated. in this regard, the speed of the tool rotation was considered as 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm, as well as the tool dwell time was set at 7 and 12s. microstructural ...

It is considered to be available in reducing the weight of automobiles that the aluminum alloy is applied to manufacture them. The spot welding of aluminum alloys is difficult because of high welding current and small electrical resistance. It is necessary to clarify the relation between the nugget formation and the welding conditions. In this study, the relation between the spot welding condit...

Spot welding is a method of electrical resistance in which two or more metal sheets are clamped between electrodes and at the same time an electric current applied so that surface material reaches temperature then fused. The purpose study was to determine tensile strength 5083 aluminum plate connection spot process. This research carried out experimentally as for connected AA has thickness 1 mm...

This study contains experimental investigation and analysis of different joint design and parameters affecting welding distortion observed in gtaw process. Distortion is a major problem and it has different types. The extent of distortion depends on some important parameters related to welding. The important parameters chosen for given study are welding current, thickness, gas flow rate and joi...

A recently developed solid-state joining technique called “friction stir spot welding” (FSSW) is used to combine metal alloys with low weldability. Significant experimental work for this study concentrated on the FSSW of AA6063 and AA5083. The involved fixture setup welding pattern parameters sizes material, all which were done a milling machine. cylindrical shoulder concave (10°) square pin pr...

Rapid prototyping (RP) methods are used for production easily and quickly of a scale model of a physical part or assembly. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widespread process used for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. In this process, in order to obtain a desired welding geometry, it is very important to predict the weld bead geometry based on the input process parameters, which are voltage...
