In this study, the liquation cracking susceptibility in heat-affected zone of CM247LC superalloy gas turbine blades during repair welding was quantitatively evaluated using a newly developed pre-weld Varestraint test method. The geometry replicated through tests for bead. susceptibility, that is, temperature range (LCTR), could be visualization at time crack formation test. LCTR alloy welds (he...

In this study, a three-dimensional (3D)finite elementmodel is developed to investigate thermally induced stress field during hybrid laser–gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. In the hybridwelding case, we focus on the GTAWprocess sharing commonmolten poolwith laser beam and playing an augment role in thehybridweldingsystem.Anexperiment-based thermalanalysis isperformedtoobtain the temperatu...

Gas tungsten arc welding is fundamental in those industries where it is important to control the weld bead shape and its metallurgical characteristics. However, compared to the other arc welding process, the shallow penetration of the TIG welding restricts its ability to weld thick structures in a single pass (~ 2 mm for stainless steels), thus its productivity is relativity low. This is why th...

Abstract Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process is one of the most important in industry, so different efforts have been made to anticipate parameters convert this into a stable capable joining parts with minimum human interference. In sense, controlling essential for automated applications because properties such as weld mechanical strength are defined by composition, microstructure, and bead ge...

The present work evaluates the application of artificial neural networks for pattern recognition of ultrasonic signals using pulse-echo and TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) techniques in weld beads. In this study pattern classifiers are implemented by artificial neural network of backpropagation type using MATLAB. The ultrasonic signals acquired from pulse-echo and TOFD were introduced, separ...
