all the producing and assembling processes exert residual stress on the pieces that may lead to structural failure. therefore, calculating the residual stress in such structures has been common in recent years. in this article, distribution of temperature and residual stress resulting from arc welding in three-pass butt joint in p91 austenitic stainless steel pipes is calculated and estimated u...

In the last decades, the applications of power inverter increased rapidly. As a result, in spite of rectifier, an inverter with a high-power electronic oscillator has capability to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) in different forms. In this paper, a new fuzzy logic control (FLC) is suggested to an improved modeling inverter of a single-phase voltage source using LC fil...

This paper describes the integration of power electronic and energy storage applications in distribution substations. Auxiliary circuits must provide motor-driven power switches, protection relays and telecontrol systems with constant power supply, thus minimising power outages and their negative effects on consumers. Requirements on the apparatus are proportional to the distributed voltage lev...

This paper presents the results of a study aimed at establishing the temperature distribution during the welding of magnesium alloy sheets by Pulsed Current Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (PCGTAW) and Constant Current Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (CCGTAW) processes. Pulsing of the GTAW welding current influences the dimensions and solidification rate of the fused zone, it also reduces the weld pool volum...

Arc welding is a common unit operation in the construction industry, where frequent changes in location and welding position make it more difficult to control fume exposures than in industries where fixed locations are the norm. Welders may be exposed to a variety of toxic airborne contaminants including manganese (Mn) and hexavalent chromium (CrVI). Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is a well-kn...

The various welding parameters such as welding speed, voltage and gas flow rate were varied on HSLA steel and the effects of these parameters on weld bead geometry such as penetration, width & height have been studied. Mathematical equations have been developed using factorial technique. And the result of various effects are shown in tables. (Numerical Values). INTRODUCTION Wide variety of stee...

A solar-wind hybrid power generation system has been presented here. The application based system illustrated in this paper is designed on the basis of the solar and wind data for areas in Northern India. The power generated by the system is intended for domestic use. The most common source of unconventional power in homes is battery based UPS (Uninterrupted power supply) inverter. The UPS inve...

Keyhole plasma arc welding is a unique arc welding process for deep penetration. To ensure the quality of the welds, the presence of the keyhole is critical. Understanding of the keyhole will certainly benefit the improvement of the process and weld quality. Currently, the size of the keyhole is assumed to be correlative with the robustness of the keyhole process in maintaining the keyhole. To ...

This paper presents a solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technique based on micro-plasma powder deposition (MPPD). The relationship between the geometric features of the deposited layers and the welding parameters is investigated. The arc length is controlled through the monitoring of the arc voltage. The result of building parts with functionally graded components by the MPPD process is shown as...
