Abstract Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is frequently used to fabricate super duplex stainless steel weldments due its superior mechanical qualities and attractive appearance in contrast with other arc techniques. The broad use of TIG remains constrained despite all advantages. Thus, the process activated flux tungsten (A-TIG) created. In current study, ATIG different oxide fluxes execute bea...

Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo a widely used material for headers and steam tubes of boilers. Welding of steam tube to header is required for production of boiler. Heat affected zone of the weld can have poor mechanical properties and poor corrosion behavior leading to weld failure. The cost of material used for steam tube and header of boiler should be controlled. This study propose a new materials design for ...

A comparative study to investigate the influences of single component fluxes on depth-to-width ratio (DWR) oxygen free copper was carried out with novel variants tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding namely Activated TIG (A-TIG), Flux Bounded (FB-TIG) and Zoned processes. The experiments identify delivering higher DWRs in A-TIG among thirteen distinct were followed by trials FB-TIG FZ-TIG employing ...

Welding is the process of coalescence two metals/alloys for creating a seamless joint, quintessential fabrication utilised in almost every manufacturing sector. There range welding processes that are used according to their features and requirement fabricator. The tungsten inert gas (TIG) an extensively owing its inherent characteristics like high weld quality, surface cleanliness, autogenous m...

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) is currently one of the most widely applied welding technologies. However, arc energy divergence and high heat input conventional TIG can lead to defects in heat-input-sensitive alloys (such as Inconel 718). Introducing a fast-frequency pulsed current (≥20 kHz) creates process named tungsten (FFP-TIG). The behavior FFP-TIG has advantages over terms contraction, pressure...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...

Understanding the joining process in real time during welding can help improve quality, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency. For this purpose, a laser ultrasonic method that detect situ quality without contact would be useful. However, behaviors of propagation as well melting with increasing temperature remain unclear. Therefore, study aimed to experimentally investigate in-process behavi...
