Abstract The gas tungsten arc welding process is an uncertain nonlinear multivariable system. In order to control the welding process, the nonlinear dynamic relationship between the weld pool geometry reflecting the weld quality and the welding parameters must be developed. A three-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the weld pool geometry when...

mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels whichare exposed to abrasive wear. however, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced aftera while due to its low hardness. with increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decreaseand they need to be repaired for surface modification. in this regard, hard overlay coatings ar...

PURPOSE To report of photic retinopathy induced by plasma arc welding, and the OCT (optical coherence tomography) results of damaged retinal lesions. METHODS We describe a case report of a 37-year-old male, working in the steel industry, who presented with central scotoma in both eyes. RESULTS On his first visit, one day after performing plasma arc welding with protective gear at work, his ...

Stud arc welding has become one of the most important unit operations in the mechanical industries. The need to reduce the time from product discovery to market introduction is inevitable. Reducing of standard deviation of tensile strength with desirable tensile strength joint as a performance character was use to illustrate the design procedure. The effects of (welding time, welding current, s...

This article analyzes the transient complex heat transfer and fluid flow in molten metal and arc plasma during the gas metal arc welding process. The model predicts the formation, growth, detachment, and transfer of droplets from the tip of a continuously fed electrode under the influences of several competing forces including gravity, electromagnetic force, arc pressure, plasma shear stress, a...

In Arc welding heat is transferred to the joint by an electrode. During manual metal Arc Welding this heat is transferred by melting the electrode. The stresses generated in welded plate are due to temperature raise and can be simple and thermal stresses. The stresses generated will cause distortion and changing the shape of the welded plates. The study of the distortion and residual stresses i...
