In welding processes, many factors contribute in achieving a required quality of the welds. Those are numerous and they may interact with each other, affecting response parameters such as penetration heat-affected zone (HAZ) size. Some more important while influence others is negligible. To find an optimum factor combination order to maximize minimize HAZ not easy task. This contribution aimed ...

Overlay welding of nickel alloys for corrosive and sour service is commercially accomplished with most welding processes ranging from shielded metal arc (stick) to laser. The valve industry has generally standardized on hot wire gas tungsten arc (GTA-HW), pulsed gas metal arc (GMA-P) and submerged arc (SAW) welding. This document will focus on these three but a little history will help explain ...

The present study shows the relationship between welding quality and optical-acoustic emissions from electric arcs, during welding runs, in the GMAW-S process. Bead on plate welding tests was carried out with pre-set parameters chosen from manufacturing standards. During the welding runs interferences were induced on the welding path using paint, grease or gas faults. In each welding run arc vo...

The main objective of industries reveal with manufacturing better quality product at low cost and increase productivity. TIG welding is most vital and common operation use for joining of two similar or dissimilar parts with heating the material or applying the pressure by using the filler material for increasing productivity with less time and cost constrain. The TIG welding parameters are the ...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is important in those manufacturing where it significant to control the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics its weld bead geometry. This work has been committed study influence of oxide fluxes on 4 mm thick 304 austenitic stainless steel plates. The Al2O3 TiO2 were used as an flux powder form are mixed with acetone. prepared mixture applied plate without...
