The aim of this work was to analyze the performance of joints made by TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process in austenitic and duplex stainless steels with special regards to their corrosion resistance. Three different types of stainless steel were butt welded with TIG method. Ferric-chloride test and electrochemical treatments revealed how does the TIG process affects the corrosion resistance depending upon the alloy used for welding the joint. This work focuses on the weldability of the 2304, 2404 and 304 type stainless steel heterogeneous welds.

Tungsten inert gas welding is extensively used in aerospace applications due to its unique ability to produce higher quality welds compared to other conventional arc welding processes. However, most tungsten inert gas welding is performed manually, and it has not achieved the required level of automation. This is mostly attributed to the lack of process knowledge and adaptability to complexities, such as mismatches due to part fit-up and thermal deformations associated with the tungsten inert gas welding process. This article presents a novel study on quantifying manual tungsten inert gas welding, which will ultimately help intelligent automation of tungsten inert gas welding. Through tungsten inert gas welding experimentation, the study identifies the key process variables, critical tasks and strategies adapted by manual welders. Controllability of welding process parameters and human actions in challenging welding situations were studied both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results show that welders with better process awareness can successfully adapt to variations in the geometry and the tungsten inert gas welding process variables. Critical decisions taken to achieve such adaptations are mostly based on visual observation of the weld pool. Results also reveal that skilled welders prioritise a small number of process parameters to simplify the dynamic nature of tungsten inert gas welding process so that part variation can be accommodated.

Hardfacing techniques are used for enhancing the life of various machine parts by rebuilding the worn out or eroded or corroded areas in them. In this paper, an attempt has been made to determine the better welding process to hardface AISI 1020 steel based on study of wear and other factors. Two types of welding processes - Arc welding and tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) have been compared. The study revealed that the specimens prepared using TIG welding process yielded better wear properties compared to the specimen prepared using Arc welding process till 1.256 m/s sliding velocity. Also it was observed that the Arc welding process yielded better wear properties for sliding velocities above 1.571 m/s. An attempt was made to study the reasons for getting the said results.© 2013 JSR Publications. ISSN: 2070-0237 (Print); 2070-0245 (Online).

The current study investigates the metallurgical, mechanical properties and weld morphology of AH36 marine grade steel (with a thickness of 8 mm) by activated-tungsten inert gas  (A-TIG) butt joints, with the application of different fluxes (MoO3, V2O5, and duplex of MoO3 and V2O5) at various process parameters. The welding speed was kept constant at 120 mm/min, and current varied from 160 A to 220 A uniformly to optimise process parameters to achieve desired mechanical properties, weld morphology, and lowest possible heat input. The study also focused on comparing tensile strength, impact strength, and microhardness, heat input during welding, weld bead depth and width between conventional TIG welding and activated flux TIG welding processes at various operation parameters. Tensile results reported that fracture occurs at the base region in ordinary TIG welding and the activated tungsten inert gas welding process. It was noticed that a higher depth to width ratio attained MoO3 and V2O5 duplex flux coated weldments. There is evidence that the depth of weld joints is enhanced because of stable arc, Marangoni effect, and arc constriction. Microhardness results reported that the fusion zone has a higher microhardness in the activated tungsten inert gas welding than the ordinary TIG welding. It was concluded that out of all fluxes, MoO3 and V2O5 duplex flux coating produce better butt welds of AH36 steel.
