The fibrogenic potential of 11 different welding fumes and metallic aerosols, considered to be reference standard surrogates for the commonly used welding technologies and applications responsible for 70% of welders exposure, is screened by using the rat peritoneal macrophage (RPM) in vitro bioassay. Only one class of fumes, that from the manual metal are welding of stainless steel, shows disti...

The HASTELLOY® and HAYNES® alloys are known for their good weldability, which is defined as the ability of a material to be welded and to perform satisfactorily in the imposed service environment. The service performance of the welded component should be given the utmost importance when determining a suitable weld process or procedure. If proper welding techniques and procedures are followed, h...

The tube to tube sheet welding joints of heat exchanger is the most critical joints. A special Nondestructive testing technology was proposed, which is based on the digital radiographic imaging automatic inspection system to the characteristics on the tube to tube sheet welding joints of heat exchanger. A new style Linear Diode Arrays as a device is used to receive ray, which will be fixed on a...

This paper is one in a series that investigates topological measures on locally compact spaces. A measure defined open and closed sets; it finitely additive the collection of sets, inner regular outer sets. We examine semisolid sets give way constructing from solid-set functions compact, Hausdorff, connected, connected For spaces we present two simpler methods than currently available one. exam...

Welding is an important process used in the iron based industries. About two percent of the working population is engaged in some type of welding. The procedure of welding is simple but its health implications are complex. Welding generates enormous amounts of gases and metal fumes. Depending on the substrate and welding type, the composition of resultant gases and fumes changes. Therefore, wel...

It is important to adjust the welding gun's inclination during automatic curved-joint tracking of arc welding. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to detect the deviation and inclination of the welding gun based on the arc currents acquired by a high-speed rotational arc sensor. It uses a least-squares method to fit the arc currents to a plane in three dimensions. The deviation and inclin...

Most of the inspection methods used for detection and localization of welding disturbances are based on the evaluation of some direct measurements of welding parameters. This direct measurement requires an insertion of sensors during the welding process which could somehow alter the behavior of the metallic transference. An inspection method that evaluates the GMA welding process evolution usin...

In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for...

The application of laser ultrasonic technique is developed for evaluation of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) quality. The features of laser-generated ultrasonic waves in good welding and incomplete fusion area are simulated by finite element method (FEM). The non-contact laser ultrasonic inspection system (LUIS) was established to verify the numerical results. The interaction of laser ultraso...
