The aim of this study is to investigate the optimization process parameters for Metal inert gas welding (MIG). In the present work, bead-on -plate welds were carried out on MS 5986 Fe 410 carbon steel sheets using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. In this present investigation ER70S-6 solid wire having 1.2 mm diameter was used as an electrode with direct current electrode positive polarity....

This thesis presents a process planning methodology for a rapid injection mold tool manufacturing system that involves additive and subtractive techniques, whereby slabs are sequentially bonded and milled using layered tool paths. Mold tools are grown in a bottom up fashion, eliminating the need for multi-axis machining operations (beyond three axes) and allowing small features in deep cavities...

this paper investigates the residual stress fields in the vicinity of weld bead in hsla-65 steel weldments using a neural network. this study consists of two cases: (i) the experimental analysis was carried out the measurements of residual stresses by xrd technique. many different specimens that were subjected to different conditions were studied. the values and distributions of residual stress...

Conventional Non Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques for assessing the weld quality are applied after welding is completed. It results in wastage of time, material and manpower. These inherent limitations of the conventional welding processes can be overcome with an automated adaptive welding system to correct the deviation in the welding current and torch speed to provide defect free welds. T...

Arc welding is an important joining process widely used in many industrial applications including production of automobile, ships structures and metal tanks. In welding process, the moving electrode causes highly non-uniform temperature distribution that leads to residual stresses and different deviations, especially buckling distortions in thin plates. In order to control the deviations and in...

Overlay welding of nickel alloys for corrosive and sour service is commercially accomplished with most welding processes ranging from shielded metal arc (stick) to laser. The valve industry has generally standardized on hot wire gas tungsten arc (GTA-HW), pulsed gas metal arc (GMA-P) and submerged arc (SAW) welding. This document will focus on these three but a little history will help explain ...

The arcs associated with arc welding emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and this often causes acute injuries in the workplace, particularly photokeratoconjunctivitis. It is important to know the level of UVR emitted by arc welding under various conditions, as this information will help in evaluating potential UVR hazards in welding workplaces and taking protective measures against...

The influence of recycling on double-pass solar air collectors with welding of the V-corrugated absorber has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Welding the V-corrugated absorber and the recycle-effect concept to the solar air collector was proposed to strengthen the convective heat-transfer coefficient due to turbulence promotion. Both the recycle effect and the V-corrugated absorbe...

Explosion metal welding is high-speed angle oblique collision of two or more metal plates caused by detonation. The metal is joined – welded under high dynamic pressure creating by plastic deformation the waves on the bond interface, accompanied by local adiabatic heating 1 . The explosive metal cladding process can be divided into three stages: a) generation of explosion energy through the det...
