ASTM A53 steel is medium carbon with 0.3% content and often used for pipe manufacturing. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect post heating temperature variation on bending metallography test weld joint using GMAW process. electrode ER-70S-6. Post variations are 250oC, 300oC 350oC. result showed that welding 350oC postheating produce smallest open defect value. microstructure pe...

As one of the most exciting inspection and powerful analysis methods in modern materials metallographic examinations, the difference interference contrast (DIC) method has many advantages, including relatively low requirement for specimen preparation, obvious relief senses observed under microscope. Details such as fine structures or defects that are not or barely visible in incident-light brig...

In this paper we have studied the effect of magneto-static field onpropagation of thermal wave generated in metal by pulsed laser. In fact this interactiongenerate acoustic wave in different mechanisms. However, always the commonmechanism in the interactions of laser pulse and metal is the thermo-elastic wavegeneration. Applying the suitable magneto-static field on the s...

Quantitative metallography is a technique to determine and correlate the microstructures of materials with their properties and behavior. Generic commercial image processing and analysis software packages have been used to quantify material phases from metallographic images. However, these all-purpose solutions also have some drawbacks, particularly when applied to segmentation of material phas...

The assessment of creep damage in steels employed in the power generation industry is usually carried out by means of replica metallography, but the several shortcomings of this method have prompted a search for alternative or complementary non-destructive techniques, ranging from ultrasonic to electromagnetic methods, hardness measurements and nuclear techniques. A critical review of the main ...

Under the influence of temperature and stresses, the heat resistant materials react by creeping. Boiler components subjected to creep have a limited lifetime. Creep and material structure evolution are tightly related and according to this rule a number of studies have been performed in order to relate micro structural investigation and service exposure or residual life. The determination of th...
