Primljeno (Recieved): 2011-07-13 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2011-11-15 Original scientific paper This paper presents welding current influence on spreading of electromagnetic field in TIG welding process. The quality of welding is analyzed by „Fast Fourier Transformation“ (FFT) on recorded current. Electric and magnetic field are measured using an instrument „Macshek ESM – 100 3D Fieldmeter“ [1]. W...

Most of the inspection methods used for detection and localization of welding disturbances are based on the evaluation of some direct measurements of welding parameters. This direct measurement requires an insertion of sensors during the welding process which could somehow alter the behavior of the metallic transference. An inspection method that evaluates the GMA welding process evolution usin...

The application of laser ultrasonic technique is developed for evaluation of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) quality. The features of laser-generated ultrasonic waves in good welding and incomplete fusion area are simulated by finite element method (FEM). The non-contact laser ultrasonic inspection system (LUIS) was established to verify the numerical results. The interaction of laser ultraso...

In an effort to increase a productivity of welding process and to reduce the impact to workers from industrial disaster, the research in the field of welding automation is sharply increasing in shipbuilding industry. DSME had developed and successfully applied a welding robot system for grand assembly line in OKPO shipyard in 1997 and has recently developed multi welding robot system for the su...

Pompe, TKC-Technology Consulting Center, Ljubljana, Slovenia This paper presents the use of two welding processes for the refurbishment of damaged industrial tools. In the first part the problem is presented followed by the comparison of GTAW and laser welding in terms of repair ...

Friction stir welding is used as a solid state joining process for soft materials such as aluminium alloys and also for hard materials like steels. It avoids many of the common problems obtained in fusion welding. In mechanical, civil, automobile, naval, and aeronautical engineering beams are widely used of the magnesium alloys for different applications and that are joined by conventional iner...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is the primary process for precision joining of metals due to its capability for accurate control of heat input. As a close relative and modification of GTAW, plasma arc welding (PAW) has higher energy density and can penetrate thicker workpieces while maintaining the desired capability for accurate control of heat input. In order to produce quality welds consist...

Industrial requirements concerning the increased efficiency and high rate of manufacturing result in the development of manufacturer robots, and a vast group of these types of robots is used for welding. This study presented the design, analysis, and simulation of a pipe-welding robot with fixed plinth for a constant circular welding around the pipes. Design of a welding robot capable of keepin...

background welding is defined as linking two metals with a local conjunction in sufficient thermal, pressing and metallurgical condition. there are several methods for linking two metals in welding. objectives welding is one of the professional jobs in iran, yet there have not been considerable studies on its harmful effects. the current study aimed to compare lung functional tests between weld...

pulsed current plasma arc welding (pcpaw) is one of the most widely used welding processes in sheet metal manufacturing industry. in any fusion arc welding process, the weld bead geometry plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties of the weld and hence quality of the weld.  moreover, the geometry of weld bead involves several simultaneously multiple quality characteristics...
