The development of transport infrastructure contributes to an increase in the demand for bridge structures, which leads to the need to increase the productivity of their manufacture. The overall increase in welding productivity is facilitated by an increase in the volume of welds performed in a single pass. It is proposed to use two-electrode welding. Computer analysis of such process has shown that an acceptable fillet weld formation can be ensured by rational parameters of the welding process, including the positioning of the electrodes relative to the weld. The distance between the electrodes should be approximately equal to the required leg size, and the electrodes shall be turned by an angle of 45 ° so that the electrode on the web lags behind the one on the flange, and the axis of this electrode is located at a distance equal to half of the required leg, the tilt angle of the torch should be 30 ° from vertical. With the indicated positioning of the electrodes, an asymmetrical weld pool is formed, the end of which is strongly displaced to the web. The melt runoff from the web to the flange is limited by the lower boundary of the weld pool, consequently, the finishing of the runoff and solidification of the metal is shifted towards the web. This fact improves the formation of weld surface, reducing the meniscus at the web and the influx on the flange. Thus, the decrease of the meniscus at the web and the influx on the flange when the arc is placed on the web can be explained by the asymmetric process of metal solidification, which proceeds predominantly from the flange to the web.

The Impact

This paper is focused on welding with a consumable electrode in a gas shield atmosphere and its main aim is to show the influence of selected processes and technological parameters on the geometry of the weld pool in terms of theoretical and experimental views. For this purpose, the parametric areas defined by the change of the welding current and welding rate were determined. Apart from the influence of these parametric areas, the influence of other technological input variables, including the wire diameter and preheating temperature, was also studied. The experimentally obtained geometric data of the weld pool can be used for technological welding procedures WPS and especially for simulation calculations to obtain a more accurate numerical model of the heat source. This makes it possible to get accurate simulation results and to better understand the impact of other variables that influence the welding process. This all helps to the optimization of the welding process for several applications.

This study examined Residents’ evaluation of turning transport infrastructure (road) to spaces for holding social ceremonies in the indigenous residential zone of Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. Upon stratifying the city into the three identifiable zones, the core, otherwise known as the indigenous residential zone was isolated for study. Of the twenty (20) political wards in the two local government areas of the town, fifteen (15) wards that were located in the indigenous zone constituted the study area. Respondents were selected along one out of every three (33.3%) of the Trunk — C (local) roads being the one mostly used for the purpose in the study area. The respondents were the residents, commercial motorists, commercial motorcyclists, and celebrants. Six hundred and forty-two (642) copies of questionnaire were administered and harvested on the spot. The Mean Analysis generated from the respondents’ rating of twelve perceived hazards listed in the questionnaire were then used to determine respondents’ most highly rated perceived consequences of the practice. These were noisy environment, Blockage of drainage by waste, and Endangering the life of the sick on the way to hospital; the most highly rated reasons why the practice came into being; and level of acceptability of the practice which was found to be very unacceptable in the study area. Policy makers should therefore focus their attention on strict enforcement of the law prohibiting the practice in order to ensure more cordial relationship among the citizenry, seeing citizens’ unacceptability of the practice in the study area.

Abstract To avoid the formation of Ti-Ni intermetallics in a joint, three laser welding processes for Ti alloy–NiTi alloy joints were introduced. Sample A was formed while a laser acted at the Ti alloy–NiTi alloy interface, and the joint fractured along the weld centre line immediately after welding without filler metal. Sample B was formed while the laser acted on a Cu interlayer. The average tensile strength of sample B was 216 MPa. Sample C was formed while the laser acted 1.2 mm on the Ti alloy side. The one-pass welding process involved the creation of a joint with one fusion weld and one diffusion weld separated by the remaining unmelted Ti alloy. The mechanical performance of sample C was determined by the diffusion weld formed at the Ti alloy–NiTi alloy interface with a tensile strength of 256 MPa.

Submerged Arc

The Arctic region is expected to play an extremely prominent role in the future of the oil and gas industry as growing demand for natural resources leads to greater exploitation of a region that holds about 25% of the world’s oil and gas reserves. It has become clear that ensuring the necessary reliability of Arctic industrial structures is highly dependent on the welding processes used and the materials employed. The main challenge for welding in Arctic conditions is prevention of the formation of brittle fractures in the weld and base material. One mitigating solution to obtain sufficiently low-transition temperatures of the weld is use of a suitable welding process with properly selected parameters. This work provides a comprehensive review with experimental study of modified submerged arc welding processes used for Arctic applications, such as narrow gap welding, multi-wire welding, and welding with metal powder additions. Case studies covered in this article describe welding of Arctic steels such as X70 12.7-mm plate by multi-wire welding technique. Advanced submerged arc welding processes are compared in terms of deposition rate and welding process operational parameters, and the advantages and disadvantages of each process with respect to low-temperature environment applications are listed. This article contributes to the field by presenting a comprehensive state-of-the-art review and case studies of the most common submerged arc welding high deposition modifications. Each modification is reviewed in detail, facilitating understanding and assisting in correct selection of appropriate welding processes and process parameters.

The dynamic process of the weld pool is a high complex object with strong nonlinearity, mult-variable coupling and a mount of stochastic and uncertain factors. It is very difficult to obtain an analysis mathematic model of weld pool dynamics. Pulsed Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is an important metal’s welding technology, which has been widely applied in the aerospace and manufacturing areas. Therefore, the dynamic characteristic of the welding process has always been hot and difficult in the field of academic research and engineering applications. In order to solve the difficulties of modeling and controlling of nonlinear system, this paper investigates the dynamic characters of the pulsed GTAW from the classic control systems. It obtains the SISO transfer function model by the area method and least square method. The results of simulation experiment show that the area method is better between the two methods.

Tandem Submerged Arc Welding

The high-strength low-alloy microalloyed steel was procured as a hot rolled plate with accelerated cooling. The Gleeble thermal simulated process involved heating the steel specimens to the peak temperature of 1400 °C, with constant cooling rates of 3.75 °C/s and 2 °C/s to room temperature. The four-wire tandem submerged arc welding process, with different heat input, was used to generate a welded microstructure. The martensite/austenite constituent appeared in the microstructure of the heat affected zone region for all the specimens along the prior-austenite grain boundaries and between bainitic ferrite laths. The blocky-like and stringer martensite/austenite morphology were observed in the heat affected zone regions. The martensite/austenite constituents were obtained by a combination of field emission scanning electron microscopes and image analysis software The Charpy absorbed energy of specimens was assessed using Charpy impact testing at-50 °C. Brittle particles, such as martensite/austenite constituent along the grain boundaries, can make an easy path for crack propagation. Similar crack initiation sites and growth mechanism were investigated for specimens welded with different heat input values.
