Welding parameters for pipe joint friction stir welding (FSW) have been identified based on L-9 orthogonal arrays used in the Taguchi Method. Different parameters, such as rotation speed, travel speed and axial force, to produce several quality welded AA6063 butt joints. The reliability of products obtained FSW process can be improved through identification optimum combination parameters. Weld ...

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process; i.e., no melting occurs. The welding process is promoted by the rotation and translation of an axis-symmetric non-consumable tool along the weld centerline. Thus, the FSW process is performed at much lower temperatures than conventional fusion welding, nevertheless it has some disadvantages. Laser Assisted Friction Stir Welding (LAFS...

Fatigue crack growth observed in tubular K-joint specimens, typical of tubular bridge structures, always initiates at the chord crown toe locations whether the applied stress range is tensile or compressive. Even though other locations around the weld have highest hot-spot stresses, chord crown toe locations are still the most critical. This raises the question about the relevant tensile residu...

Abstract Based on the accumulation situation of anti-spatter spray in actual manufacturing, butt joints are implemented to analyze state changes two types and their effect arc stability, molten pool fluidity, weld performance. The results show that fluidity water-based is significantly better than oil-based welding process, resulting a large near suppression position. This causes strong fluctua...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solution to overcome the problems of AA 6061 welding. When initial temperature T0 material increased during FSW process while parameters are kept constant then parameter value can be lowered. was varied by Troom temperature, 50 0C, 75 100 0C and 125 0C. The weld joint design form square butt joint. By using this approach higher T0, with being constant, produce p...

Argon arc welding is a frequently used process, to assist various manufacturing processes. The paper highlights the postweld experimental results of similar (EN 10025 Steel-Grade S295) and dissimilar (D36 shipbuilding steel) materials, which possess wide range applications in industries. In this work, studies are carried out for optimality gas tungsten (GTAW) parameters on butt joint with singl...

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a widely applied manufacturing process. Angular distortion is a major problem and most pronounced among different types of distortion in the butt welded plates. This angular distortion is mainly due to nonuniform transverse shrinkage along the depth of the plates welded. Restriction of this distortion by restraint may lead to higher residual stresses. However...

Abstract The microstructure and properties of high nitrogen stainless steel welded joints under different flash currents were studied by butt welding. results show that, the welding parameters have obvious influence on joint structure mechanical properties. is organized into symmetrical distribution, grains obtained in interface area are small, mostly pearlite ferrite. With increase current, gr...
