Abstract

Metal inert gas welding (MIG) is generally conducted in the pressure vessel industry due to its high quality and easy automation. S355 J2 steel is used widely in this industry for its proper welding properties. To carry out and obtain high melting efficiency for satisfactory mechanical properties according to welding parameters, sometimes heat treatment is applied to materials, but generally it is not common in welding industry. In this study the effect of conventional heat treatment and shallow cryogenic heat treatment effects to the mechanical properties of welding zone of S 355 J2 steel welded with MIG is investigated. The charpy impact tests have been carried out. The welding plate is prepared according to this purpose and it is cut for impact test samples 10 X 10 x 55 mm. Totally 30 samples are prepared for 5 processes. Process 1: 6 samples for without heat treatment. Process 2: 6 samples for normalization-quenching in water. Process 3: 6 samples for normalization-quenching-tempering. Process:4 6 samples for normalization-shallow cryogenic treatment. Process 5: 6 samples for normalization-shallow cryogenic treatment-tempering. Notch of impact test samples are prepared just in the middle of the welding zone (2 sample for each process) , HAZ (2 sample for each process) and basemetal (2 sample for each process). The hardness values are taken from base metal, heat affected zone and welding area respectively. Hardness values and impact test results are compared. As a result, generally, it has been observed that shallow cryogenic heat treatment have a remarkable effect on toughness, despite a little decrease in hardness. The toughness of welding zone is increased approximately %40 and HAZ % 5 after cryogenic heat treatment. The hardness of WZ is increased approximately % 5 after cryogenic heat treatment, no significant change is observed in HAZ.

Abstract

Weld imperfections are likely to arise during any welding process. Due to the enormous number of joints that could result in weld defects, welding process faults could happen. Repair procedures are required to address welding defects. Multiple repairs are required if welding mistakes are made repeatedly. The duplex material used in this study is SA 240 TP 904L. By altering the repair procedure treatment 1x, 3x, 5x, and without repair, the welding process is carried out utilizing the SMAW method and E309L filler. Microstructure testing, ferrite content testing, and 3-electrode cell corrosion are the test techniques used. The relationship between the corrosion rate and the amount of ferrite content was deduced from the test data. The corrosion rate increases as the ferrite content rises due to several repairs.

Abstract

This study explains the effect of the parameters of current strength and welding time. The welding process uses SPFC590 t1.2 steel plate material and Weld T-Nut M10 with a 50 kVA Dagensha brand spot welding process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the push test, nugget, and depth of penetration against engineering standards from PT HMC (Hyundai Motor Company). Using the factorial experimental design method to convey test layout formulations, understand the best conditions for setting machine parameters, and knowing the performance effect of parameter settings such as push tests, nuggets, and depth of penetration spot welding. The results of the push test between the SPFC590 t1.2 steel plate and Weld T-Nut M10 are the largest 17.7 kN and the smallest 15.4 kN. the test results have passed the results of the 6.5 kN engineering standard. Test results on nuggets the longer the melting occurs the wider the growth of the melt, and after the part is at room temperature the melting zone will become a nugget, for the average nugget test result is 5.6 mm and has passed the standard engineering results. Whereas in the penetration test the longer the welding time the deeper the penetration depth. The results showed that the parameters of current strength and welding time can affect the results of the size of the nugget and the depth of penetration of spot welding, but can reduce the strength of the push test. besides that the less the remaining plate that is not affected by penetration the smaller the strength of the push test, and the less depth of penetration. The smaller the strength of the push test and the higher the current strength and welding time, the larger the nugget size obtained.

Abstract

Aluminium allow has been widely used recently due to their high strength to mass ratio, good formability and high corrosion resistance have a wide range of applications in aerospace, ship-building and railway industries. The 5083 series aluminum is the most widely used due to good strength and corrosion resistance properties. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG welding) is the most common welding method for aluminum alloys. This research was conducted A-TIG welding on 150 x 100 x 8 mm of 5083 aluminium and added by oxide powder (MgCl2 and TiO2) as active flux and various of current consist of 100, 130, and 160 A. The result of this research was obtained that the deepest penetration was 4.94 mm with TiO2 active flux and the current of 160 A, the highest hardness came from weld metal which using MgCl2 as an active flux with 100 A of current with 69.80 HVN. The hardness was increased by adding magnesium due to effect of it could be increased grain coarse. The lowest hardness was on weld metal with TiO2 active flux with 160 A of current due to the maximum heat input which decreased the hardness The recrystallization was occurred due to increase of heat input, so did the grain growth. The coarse grain which caused the decreasing of hardness was affected by the increase of heat input.

Abstract

Joint materials using welding require the correct stages, starting from the design stage to the processing stage. The design stage starts from the selection of the type of welding, to the selection of the seam angle used. Meanwhile, at the processing stage, the current strength will be selected according to the processing position. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of welding heat input on the mechanical strength of SS-400 steel in SMAW welding. In this study the material used was SS-400 with current variations of 90 A and 100 A. The results showed that the welding current affected the tensile strength and toughness of the material. The welding current of 100 A has the highest tensile strength and toughness, and then 90 A which has the lowest tensile strength and toughness, while the strain that occurs at current 90A is 13.53%, and the strain that occurs at current 100 A is 12.07%.

Abstract

Hardfacing is a welding technique that functions to increase the surface hardness value of a material. Generally, hardfacing is done on low-carbon steel materials because low-carbon steel cannot be increased in hardness by heat treatment. For this reason, research will be carried out on the multilayer hardfacing process with the aim of obtaining optimal layer hardness. The methodology in this research is that multilayer hardfacing welding will be carried out consisting of 3 layers, 4 layers, and 5 layers, and each specimen has 2 buffer layer layers with E 309 electrodes for the hardfacing layer using HV 600 electrodes. This research reveals the influence of the number of layers of hardfacing on the hardness and toughness values. ABREX 500 material with a size of 150x150x10 mm was welded using the SMAW process using a current of 130 A. In this research, hardness and toughness tests were carried out. On test results. The base metal microstructure is dominated by a tempered martensite structure with a small amount of bainite and pearlite. In the structural area of the support layer, austenite and vermicular ferrite dominate. In the hardfacing layer area, austenite and vermicular ferrite, which are in dendritic form, dominate. The increase in hardness will occur significantly after hardfacing is carried out on the base metal. In a specimen, the more layers of hardfacing are added, the harder the material will be. The hardness of the specimen in 5 layers gets the most optimal value (higher) when compared with the hardness in 3 layers and 4 layers. In the 5-layer specimen, the resulting hardness value was 482.13 kgf/mm2, for the 4-layer specimen, the average value was 464.83 kgf/mm2, and in the 3-layer specimen, the hardness value was 444.13 kgf/mm2. For toughness testing, the highest toughness value was obtained, namely 1.32 (J/mm2) for the 3 layers specimen, compared to 4 layers with a toughness value of 1.25 (J/mm2) and 5 layer with a toughness value of 1.19 (J/mm2). The toughness value decreases as the hardness value increases.

Abstract

Material A573 Grade 70 is one type of material used to manufacture pressure vessel shells or walls. The thickness of the shell depends on the required pressure design for production. In a case study on pressure vessel shell manufacturing, a thickness of 36 mm was used near the manhole. Due to the connection between the shell and the manhole, the material A573 Grade 70 in the shell was subjected to heat influence. The shell near the manhole will be connected to the rest of the shell using the same material, A573 Grade 70. Consequently, it was necessary to analyse the heat treatment for this material. The heat treatments used to determine the microstructure and hardness value were Preheat and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT). Both types of heat treatments were employed. The preheat temperatures varied at 120°C, 150°C, and 200°C for each joint undergoing PWHT at 650°C with a holding time of 60 minutes, as well as for joints without PWHT. The microstructure of variations with preheat and PWHT exhibited finer grains compared to variations without PWHT. The highest recorded hardness value among the variations with PWHT was 209.89 HVN in the weld metal for the 150°C preheat variation. The highest recorded hardness value among the variations without PWHT was 235.07 HVN in the weld metal for the 200°C preheat variation

Abstract

In the steel structure fabrication industry, girders play a crucial role as supporting beams during construction. The girder's components include end plates and beams, with the end plate serving as a critical connection point for the beam to the column. Welding at this juncture demands careful consideration. This analytical research focuses on the impact of multiple repair welding and quenching temperatures during the heat straightening process on the toughness and microstructure of HSLA SM490YA material, utilizing FCAW welding. To assess the effects of multiple repair welding, the study compares different repair scenarios—welding without repair, two repairs, and three repairs, all performed at a 50% depth. Subsequently, the heat straightening process occurs at a temperature of 650ºC on the repaired material. Post-heat straightening, quenching is carried out with temperature variations of 650ºC, 475ºC, and 300ºC. The findings indicate that the repair process during welding and subsequent quenching after the heat straightening process leads to a decrease in toughness values. This results in a finer grain size, with the material phase predominantly composed of pearlite. These research outcomes should be carefully considered by industry professionals, particularly in critical connections, when determining quenching temperatures after the heat straightening process in repair procedures.

Abstract

Continuous drive friction welding (CDFW) is a solid-state method used to join solid cylindrical metals. This process involves several key parameters that influence the strength of the connection, including friction time, friction pressure, and machine speed. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of different friction times on the mechanical properties of Aluminium 6061 CDFW joints. Friction time variations of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 seconds were used in the welding process, while other parameters remained constant: friction pressure at 30 MPa, upset pressure at 70 MPa, upset time at 2 seconds, and engine speed at 1000 rpm. Microstructure observations, Vickers microhardness testing, and tensile testing were conducted to assess the impact of friction time on the joint results. Analysis of the microstructure revealed changes, such as recrystallization, in the joint area. It was observed that the grain size in the joint area was smaller compared to that of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the parent metal. Hardness testing showed a decrease in hardness value with increasing distance from the joint. In the tensile test, the highest tensile strength of 215.76 MPa was achieved with a friction time of 6 seconds, while the lowest tensile strength of 78.60 MPa was obtained with a friction time of 2 seconds

Abstract

GMAW has become one of the most popular welding methods due to its high productivity in the manufacturing industry. However, there has been agrowing concern about the health effects of the fume produced by this welding method, as it may flow into the breathing zone of the welding operator.In this study, the impact of the Pr number on the behavior of the fume flow produced by GMAW was studied numerically using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Navier-Stokes and energy equations in two-dimensional axisymmetric coordinates were used to establish the numerical model for the GMAW fume flow.A transient finite-volume method with non-staggered mesh was applied to solve the numerical model. The numerical simulations were run 2.0 ≤ Pr ≤ 15.0 with other parameters kept constant at Fr = 5.5, Re = 100, and H/X0 = 10. The time series of the spreading distance plotted at various Prnumbers show different types of distances at different stages of the fume flow, the initial maximum, the maximum, and the final distances. When the Pr number is increased from 2.0 to 15.0.the gap between the initial maximum and the maximum distances decreases while the gap between the initial maximum and the final distances decreases.A nonlinear relationship was observed when the initial maximum and final distance data were plotted against the Pr number. The best fit for the initial maximum and the final distance data were obtained using the power of -1/2 and -2/3.
