Effect of Electrode Extension and Width of the Plate on Distortion and Residual Stresses Using Submerged Arc Welding Process
Abstract: Welding is a reliable and efficient joining process in which the coalescence of metals is achieved by fusion and is used extensively in the fabrications of many structures, buildings, ships, pressure vessels, etc., due to many advantages it has, over the other fabrication processes. Localized heating during welding, followed by rapid cooling, can generate residual stresses and distortion. However, distortion is a problem encountered during welding. The presence of distortion …

Microstructure Analysis and Material Properties of Weld Slag as Fine Aggregate in Concrete
Abstract: To reduce the amount of river sand used, researchers and engineers have developed their own solutions. The well-known technique of submerged-arc welding can create high-quality welds in a variety of thicknesses for ferrous, stainless, and even some non-ferrous metals. The procedure involves an electric current flowing constantly between a welding wire and the work piece, creating an arc. In submerged arc welding, the shielding flux is transformed into slag during …

Effect of Carbon ,Chromium, Vanadium, Molybdenum, Manganese and Nickel on hardness and wear Resistance of Fe-Cr-C Hardfacing Alloys.
Abstract: The effects of combination of carbon (C), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn) and nickel (Ni) in Fe-Cr-C hardfacing alloy has been investigated on microstructure and microhardness with submerged arc welding (SAW) process. The Optical Microscope (OM) and Vicker micro-hardness tester were used. Powder form of ferro-chrome (Fe-Cr), ferro-vanadium (Fe-V), ferro-molybdenum (Fe-Mo), carbon (C), nickel (Ni) and ferro-manganese (Fe-Mn) were used as alloying elements to form coating layer …

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN THE FABRICATION OF NUCLEAR VESSEL OF 20MNMONI55 LOW ALLOY STEEL
Abstract: 20MnMoNi55 is very critical material to weld, as the material is grouped into the P3 category according to the ASME Standard, which has lower weldability then other steel. The various parameters affecting the welding of 20MnMoNi55 like Welding current, welding speed, Voltage, Wire feed rate, stick out etc. should be in optimizing range. In this research paper, the attempt has been made to optimize the welding process parameter using Design …

TiO2 Refined Flux Provides Significant Impact on Saw Bead Shape, Particle Size, and Hardness
Abstract: This experiment is very interested in how adding titanium dioxide powder to submerged arc welding on low alloy steel plates affects the bead geometry, grain size, and hardness. The commercial fluxes were combined with powdered titanium dioxide at varying concentrations (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5%). No changes were made to the welding process parameters despite the variety of welding situations. It has been shown that the inclusion of titanium …
