Abstract

SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) welding is a metal joining process that uses heat energy to melt the workpiece and electrode (fill material). The flux material used for type E7016, a low hydrogen electrode wire typically used for welding heavy-duty plates and structures. Its use is for welding medium carbon steel, bridges, ships and machinery. The result of welding electrode E7016 is very smooth, deep penetration, crack resistant, ductile, good weld appearance and stable arc, the material used in the SMAW welding process is AISI 1050 steel. While AISI 1050 steel is steel that has a carbon content of 0.50 % so that it is classified as medium carbon steel. This steel is widely used in the market because it has many advantages, one of which is as an automotive component. This steel has the characteristics of good machinability, good wear resistance and medium mechanical properties. This study aims to determine the shock strength (impact) and the difference in the time of making weld grooves on SMAW welding results on AISI 1050 steel with variations of Double Bevel and Double V Groove grooves. In testing in the Weld Metal area with a current used of 110 Ampere. From the tests that have been carried out, it is known that the value of the highest impact strength is in the Double Bevel groove which has a value of 1.91 Joule/mm2, for the manufacture of welded grooves where the Double Bevel time is shorter than Double V Groove, so the time produced by Double Bevel which is 3.44 minutes/second.

Abstract

In a piping system makes it possible to add branching into an existing piping system. In this research will discuss about installation 12 " branch pipe in to 16” existing pipe. The system should be installed without interrupting the operation of the pipeline to avoid huge losses. Hot-tapping is a technology that works to create branching on the online service pipe condition. Calculation and analysis of the results to ensure the process of hot-tapping absolutely safe to operate. parameters that must be considered include the heat input, the operating pressure during welding hot-tapping process with Shielded Metal Arc Welding, stress that occurs at the branching system. Analysis on split tees must be done because of stress that occurs due to the welding process and the reduction in thickness. Analysis on the plumbing system must be done because of a new branching thus causing new stress. The results of the analysis on split tees and the pipe system is used as a reference-making procedures for implementing hot-tapping. Maximum stress that occurs in the pipes during hot-tapping process is the welding area (22.828 psi). The welding process causes melting partial in the metal pipe so, during welding process (hot-tapping) working pressure should be reduced by 25.27%. The condition of the fluid in the existing pipeline still safe because liquefaction as a result of the welding process does not penetrate to the inner pipe. The new design results in branch pipe eligible to fabricated because stress that occurs is still below the allowable stress values

Abstract

Stainless steel is a widely used material in various industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, and transportation. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding has a low level of productivity compared to other welding processes. This is because the penetration is shallow and the welding efficiency is the lowest. The use of active flux can have an effect on penetration during welding, because active flux is a powder that has an oxide content in it. This study aims to determine the effect of several types of solvents, namely acetone, methanol, and ethanol for the active mixture of TiO2 flux in A-TIG (Actived – Tangsten Inert Gas) welding with a current of 150 A and 200 A on austenite stainless steel type 304 material to depth. penetration, hardness and microstructure in the weld metal, HAZ and Base Metal areas. This research was tested for hardness and metallography. The hardness test resulted that the highest value was found in the variation of solvent ethanol with a current of 200 A, which was 187.14 HVN. The macro results show that the deepest penetration is in the variation of solvent ethanol with a current of 150 A, which is 6.99 mm. The results of the microstructure that occurs in weld metal are in the form of vermicular ferrite and lathy ferrite phases which are caused by low heat input so that the cooling speed is high

Abstract

Fabrication technology has also penetrated the oil and gas industry, such as in the case of joining materials, one of the applications being made is the connection of pipes by welding. In the welding process, the heat distribution is uneven and the cooling rate is fast, resulting in residual stresses. This is indicated by changes in the microstructure in the weld area and the Heat Affecting Zone (HAZ), causing the material to become hard but brittle (brittle). This can cause structural failure in the connection area. This study investigates the residual stresses in pipe welding ASTM A 106 Grade B using the finite element method with ANSYS R17.2 software. The simulation is divided into 2 steps, namely thermal and structural analysis. The variation used in this simulation is the electric current as the welding heat input. The electric current is 110 A with an effective heat input of 2337.5 Watts with a maximum residual voltage of 399.59 MPa, 2762.5 Watts with a current of 130 A of 420.01 MPa, 3400 Watts with a current of 160 A of 454.06 MPa. The simulation shows that an increase in electric current in the range of 110 to 160 A can imply an increase in residual voltage. A welding heat input is obtained with the minimum residual voltage value, namely at a current of 110 A with an effective heat input of 2337.5 watts.

Abstract

Inspection of 900 angle pipe welds using the Radiography method with an Ir.192 source with a capacity of 150 Curie while operating 56 curies using the Double Wall Double Image Technique Case study at (PT. Sinar Mas, Riau). Errors and inaccuracies in timing result in the resulting image being damaged, not meeting radiographic film acceptance quality standards. irradiation (exposure time). The purpose of this paper is to be able to calculate the exposure time using computation, and to know the type of defects in the welding and there are significant undercutting defects that require repair or re-welding and are declared rejected by the radiographer. The results of the exposure time calculation between the calculations of several processes have a relatively large time difference, this is because they do not follow the curve value. In the end it can be concluded from the results of the film is very influential on the exposure time. Based on this, the resulting software can be declared in accordance with field conditions

Abstract

Electrodes for the Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding process or welding electrodes are classified based on the type of coating which is informed by the last digit code of the electrode. Electrodes E7016 and E7018 are basic types of electrodes with a Low Hydrogen Potassium coating type which are widely used in welding heavy construction equipment and piping. This electrode has a minimum tensile value of 70 ksi (480 MPa) with a carbon content of 0.07% for E7018 and 0.08% for E7016. The difference in carbon content in the composition of the electrode will determine the hardness value of the resulting weld. In use in the field these two electrodes are often recommended and can even be exchanged according to the assumption that the minimum tensile value is relatively the same between the two electrodes. However, due to the difference in carbon content, it will affect the hardness of the weld (weld metal) after welding. Many studies have been carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the welded joints using these electrodes, but research on the specific mechanical properties of the welds of the two electrodes is very rarely carried out. The test method is carried out by making 2 test specimens each for currents of 80A, 100A, and 120A using E7016 and E7018 electrodes with a diameter of 3.2mm. The material used is SA.36. The hardness test was carried out using the Rockwell-C (HRC) method. The test results show that the hardness value of the basic low hydrogen potassium electrode E7018 has a higher hardness value than E7016 for the same current. At currents of 80A, 100A, and 120A, there was an increase in the hardness of the E7018 weld metal against E7016 by 2.0% each; 9.8%; and 6.7%. The highest hardness value is found at 80A of 42.3HRC for the E7018 electrode, and 41.5 HRC for the E7016 electrode. In E7016 the increase in current causes a decrease in hardness level of 8.2% from 80A to 100A; 12.3% from 100A to 120A. In E7018 the increase in current causes a 1.2% decrease in hardness from 80A to 100A; 14.7% from 100A to 120A
