In this study, fatigue test and crack propagation analysis of welded joints in ships and offshore structures were performed. The test models have two types of welded joints, T-joint and double plate. Test data is presented in S-N curves obtained by the Hot Spot Stress (HSS) approach. The S-N data for each length of crack were appraised to define the fatigue life of crack initiation and propagat...

The objective of this laboratory study was to identify and measure manganese (Mn) fractions in chamber-generated welding fumes (WF) and to evaluate and compare the results from a sequential extraction procedure for Mn fractions with that of an acid digestion procedure for measurement of total, elemental Mn. To prepare Mn-containing particulate matter from representative welding processes, a wel...

To provide quantitative information to choose the best welding processes for minimizing workplace emissions, nine gas metal arc welding (GMAW) processes for mild steel were assessed for fume generation rates, normalized fume generation rates (milligram fume per gram of electrode consumed), and normalized generation rates for elemental manganese, nickel, and iron. Shielded metal arc welding (SMA...

This study aims to analyze the effect of root gap on bending test SS 400 steel materials with different thicknesses 10 mm and 12 using FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) welding in 3G Vertical up position without backing ceramic. uses quantitative method, standard used is ASME section IX (2019). The results concluded that specimens within thickness mm, highest value was obtained at variation 4.4 a st...

Offshore building construction is inseparable from the fabrication process. Fabrication process that has an important role in terms of engineering, material repair and welding In offshore construction, a precise method needed on A36, where A36 steel one main materials buildings. this study comparison results GTAW, GMAW, FCAW against Tensile Test Macrostructure Test. The research show best tensi...

R.Bęczkowski, Institute of Mechanical Technology, Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland Hardness is one of the components responsible for the resistance to wear. The development of new materials with hardness surface more than 65 HRC is possible with use welding technologies. High chromium cored wires belong to welding materials that are often used to cladding to protect surface. This ar...
