Dissimilar metal welding between carbon steel and stainless steel has been widely applied in industrial applications to reduce production costs and improve equipment reliability. However, differences in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties between the materials may lead to welding-related issues, particularly distortion in fillet weld joints. This study aims to analyze welding distortio…
This study evaluates the feasibility of temper bead welding (half bead technique) as an alternative to post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) in influencing the microstructure and mechanical properties of A335 Grade P22 pipe welding. It compares three welding methods: pre-heat, pre-heat TBW, and pre-heat PWHT, based on WPS and PQR standards. Tensile tests on 12 specimens showed failures in the base me…
This book provides an insight into the welding techniques with a cross-disciplinary treatment to address the shortcomings of contemporary learning of welding terminology. Various topics covered include introduction to welding processes, design requirements, prominence of design, case studies presenting structural defacements due to inappropriate design, comprehensive surveys on welding processe…
This book presents some developments in the field of welding technology. It starts with classical welding concepts, covering then new approaches. Topics such as ultrasonic welding, robots welding, welding defects and welding quality control are presented in a clear, didactic way. Lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering are highlighted as well.
This book describes the application of vision-sensing technologies in welding processes, one of the key technologies in intelligent welding manufacturing. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is one of the main welding techniques and has a wide range of applications in the manufacturing industry. As such, the book also explores the application of AI technologies, such as vision sensing and machine l…
The primary aim of this volume is to provide researchers and engineers from both academic and industry with up-to-date coverage of new results in the field of robotic welding, intelligent systems and automation. The book is mainly based on papers selected from the 2019 International Workshop on Intelligentized Welding Manufacturing (IWIWM’2019) in USA. The articles show that the intelligentiz…
This book presents the fundamentals of arc phenomena, various arc welding power sources, their control strategies, welding data acquisition, and welding optimization. In addition, it discusses a broad range of electrical concepts in welding, including power source characteristics, associated parameters, arc welding power source classification, control strategies, data acquisitions techniques, a…
