Two lines of immortal human fibroblasts were isolated following transfection of TIG-3 cells with plasmid DNA, pMT-1ODtsA, that contained SV40 early gene with a deletion in replication origin and ts mutation in coding sequence for T-antigen. These cells continued proliferation at 34 degrees C, over 565 population doubling level (PDL) which is far over the limited division potential of untransfor...

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...

Austenitic stainless steel SS304 grade was welded with active Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process by applying a flux paste made of SiO2 powder and acetone. SiO2 flux application improves the weld bead depth with a simultaneous reduction in weld bead width. The improvement in penetration results from arc constriction and reversal of Marangoni convection. Experimental studies revealed that t...

This study investigates the combined effect of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) and Metal (MIG) arcs in achieving improved mechanical microstructural properties compared with standalone TIG MIG based on optimum parameters setting for welding processes. Miller machines a maximum capacity 400 A were used as heat source. The welds produced by TIG-MIG, processes characterized via tensile hardness testing, ...

Different post-weld treatment methods are used to strengthen welded joints that subjected cyclic loading. Combining High-Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) with Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) remelting is rather a new concept. In this paper, the fatigue lives of transverse attachments treated by HFMI-treatment, TIG-remelting, or combination both estimated using damage modelling and finite element del...

The fatigue fracture of structural details subjected to cyclic loads mostly occurs at a critical cross section with stress concentration. The welded joint is particularly dangerous location because of sinergetic harmful effects of stress concentration, tensile residual stresses, deffects, microstructural heterogeneity. Because of these reasons many methods for improving the fatigue resistance o...

Abstract Hastelloy C-276 is a nickel-based alloy with high strength and corrosion resistance at cryogenic to temperatures. The issue of shallow penetration by Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding was addressed in the current investigation applying A-TIG variable oxide flux. In investigation, constant conditions were used perform TIG using SiO 2 , TiO 50% mixture + weld bead width depth profile meas...

The development and fabrication of fusion reactor components utilize different grades of stainless steel materials and different welding techniques. Major candidates are TIG welding, Laser welding and Electron beam welding and Narrow Gap TIG welding. The weld joints quality evaluation and their mechanical properties are to be analyzed for performance of these developed components. The welded jo...

Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) process is an important component in many industrial operations. The TIG welding parameters are the most important factors affecting the quality, productivity and cost of welding. This paper presents the influence of welding parameters like welding current, welding speed on strength of low carbon steel on AA1050 material during welding. A plan of experiments bas...

Plates of 3–5 mm in thickness were extracted from an AZ91D ingot and then butt joints of the plates were produced using tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method. The TIG arc was also used to deposit welding beads on some of the thin plates. No cracking was found in the butt joints. However, hot cracking was always observed to propagate from the heat affected zone (HAZ) under the welding bead int...
