Evaluation of welding process such as metal inert gas welding and tungsten inert gas arc welding on tensile, bend and hardness properties of austenitic stainless steel SS347H(18Cr 10Ni 1Cb ), T22(21⁄4Cr Mo) and T91(9Cr 1Mo V) grades are studied. Tubes of 54 mm of outer diameter and 4 mm of wall thickness is used as a base material in the following combination SS347H VS T91 and T91 VS T22 is wel...

The weld pool is the core of the welding process where complex welding phenomena originate. Skilled welders acquire their process feedback primarily from the weld pool. Observation and measurement of the three-dimensional weld pool surface thus play a fundamental role in understanding and future control of complex welding processes. To this end, a laser line is projected onto the weld pool surf...

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes is an important joining process widely used in metal fabrication industries. This paper addresses modeling and optimization of this technique using a set of experimental data and regression analysis. The set of experimental data has been used to assess the influence of GMAW process parameters in weld bead geometry. The process variables considered here inc...

Aluminum alloy welding suffers from problems such as solidification cracking and hydrogen-induced porosity, which are sufficiently severe to limit its potential applications. Because mitigated porosity incidence and solidification cracking are observed in aluminum welds using double pulsed gas metal arc welding (DP-GMAW), a comprehensive review of the mechanism is necessary, but absent from the...

In this paper, stability and internal dynamics for a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process will be studied. GMAW process is considered as a nonlinear MIMO system and input-output feedback linearization method will be applied for control purposes. Internal dynamics is the unobservable part of the system dynamics; its stability analysis is a vital step in the investigation of the system stability ...

In this work, the thin wall components of TC4 titanium alloy were produced by using external magnetic field hybrid gas metal welding (EM-GMAW). The effect on forming, microstructure, and property wire arc additively manufactured was studied in detail. results showed that height average deposition layer EM-GMAW less than GMAW decreased with increase excitation current, width greater GMAW. micros...

OBJECTIVES Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) emitted during arc welding frequently causes keratoconjunctivitis and erythema in the workplace. The degree of hazard from UVR exposure depends on the welding method and conditions. Therefore, it is important to identify the UVR levels present under various conditions. METHODS We experimentally evaluated the UVR levels emitted in gas metal arc welding (G...

Welding is an important manufacturing process that can be automated and optimized. This paper focuses on the development of a robotic arc welding system, wherein a three-degreeof-freedom Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) is interfaced to a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. The entire system is composed of a robot linked to a GMAW system. Set points are derived using the desire...
