This paper reports the use of External Magnetic Field-Tungsten Inert Gas (EMF-TIG) method in butt joint applications to determine the effect of welding arc compression on the quality of butt joint of SS 304 thin plate was reported. The welding process was performed without using filler or autogenous welds. The external magnetic field was generated by placing a magnetic solenoid around the TIG welding torch. The results of this study showed that EMF-TIG welding can produce a more uniform bead width along the weld line compare with conventional TIG. Moreover, the D/W ratio obtained under external magnetic field was higher than without magnetic. However, the tensile strength of butt joint decreased with EMF-TIG because there is constriction in arc welding which produces shrinkage weld pool volume. In addition, high welding speeds result in a decrease in the tensile strength of both conventional TIG and EMF-TIG welds.

<p class="Abstract">In this study, research on the use of the External Magnetic Field method – Tungsten Inert Gas was done to determine the effect of welding arc compression on the quality of <em>AISI 304 </em>thin plate weld. The welding process was performed using autogenous welds. In this study, an external magnetic field was generated by placing a magnetic solenoid around the <em>TIG</em> welding torch. Enabling this electromagnetic field is done dynamically using a microcontroller. Welding parameters used are welding current <em>100; 105; 110 A</em> and welding speed <em>1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s</em>. The results of this study showed that <em>EMF-TIG</em> welding can produce a more uniform bead width along the weld line with a standard deviation of 0.08 compared with conventional <em>TIG </em>welding of <em>0.12</em>. Increased welding speed of  <em>2.05 mm/s</em> causes no effect on the addition of an external magnetic field to the width of the weld bead. The current parameters are <em>105 A </em>with a speed of <em>1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s</em> resulted in compression of the top bead width by <em>0.87; 0.61; 0.1 mm</em>. The welding parameters with a current of 105 A and welding speed of <em>1.6 mm/s</em> have a larger upper bead compression effect of <em>0.84 mm</em> compared to <em>110 A</em> currents of <em>0.38 mm</em>. Moreover, the <em>D/W</em> ratio obtained under an external magnetic field was higher than without magnetic.</p>

Bead Profile

In this study, AISI 1020 plate of 6 mm thickness has been welded by autogenous TIG welding process maintaining different root gap (0, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mm). The weld bead profile and the tensile strength of the welded joint has been analysed. From the experimental results it is revealed that, for increasing the root gap, weld depth penetration increases; whereas weld bead width and heat affected zone (HAZ) is almost uniform. However, at the similar condition, under-filling of the weld joint increases with the increase in root gap. For using 1 mm root gap, weld joint exhibit full depth of penetration and maximum tensile strength, along with higher under-filling.

Ecological Resources

The present work investigates TIG in terms of strength and energy consumption during joining of dissimilar metal plates between 304 Stainless Steel and AISI 1018 Mild Steel. TIG welding basically promotes a sustainable environment because it consumes less energy. Energy conservation means to reduce imbalance between demand and energy supply that is necessary to protect ecological resources and natural environment. TIG welding is a precision welding process which makes possible for joining of thinner and lighter materials. Joining of various dissimilar metals becomes great interest owing to the different challenges that are posed by deviation in the material composition as well as the characteristics of the joined metals. The main objective is to optimize energy consumption and tensile strength by taking effective process parameters that are Current, Travel Speed and Gas Flow Rate and also determination of main influential process parameters on energy consumption and tensile strength by using Taguchi method. Contour plot has also been shown in this present investigation.

The Magnetic Field

The 6061 aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel were welded by hybrid cold metal transfer (CMT) welding with external axial magnetic field. The effects of magnetic intensity and frequency on joint microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. It was found that the magnetic field can promote the spreading of aluminum weld metal on the steel surface and thus increase the bonding area of Al/steel butt joint. The welding process stability improved, while the wetting behavior worsened with the introduction of alternating frequencies. The thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at Al/steel interface was reduced to 3 μm with the coil current of 2 A. The application of the magnetic field promoted the aggregation of Si atoms at the interface and inhibited the formation of brittle (Al, Si)13Fe4 phase. The fracture paths were transformed from (Al, Si)13Fe4 layer to Al8Fe2Si layer with the application of the magnetic field. The maximum tensile strength reached 130.2 MPa, an increase of 61.6% in comparison to the normal CMT process.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) modeling tools allows for envisaging that AI will remove elements of human mechanical effort from welding operations. This paper contributes to this development by proposing an AI tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding algorithm that can assist human welders to select desirable end factors to achieve good weld quality in the welding process. To demonstrate its feasibility, the proposed model has been tested with data from 27 experiments using current, arc length and welding speed as control parameters to predict weld bead width. A fuzzy deep neural network, which is a combination of fuzzy logic and deep neural network approaches, is applied in the algorithm. Simulations were carried out on an experimental test dataset with the AI TIG welding algorithm. The results showed 92.59% predictive accuracy (25 out of 27 correct answers) as compared to the results from the experiment. The performance of the algorithm at this nascent stage demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method. This performance shows that in future work, if its predictive accuracy is improved with human input and more data, it could achieve the level of accuracy that could support the human welder in the field to enhance efficiency in the welding process. The findings are useful for industries that are in the welding trade and serve as an educational tool.

The Magnetic Field

Welding is a widely used process that requires continuous developments to meet new application demands of mechanical projects under severe conditions. The homogeneity of metallurgical and mechanical properties in welded joints is the key factor for any welding process. The applications of external magnetic fields, mechanical vibration, and ultrasound are the fundamental steps to achieve success in improving these properties. The present work aimed at determining suitable processing conditions to achieve the desired balance between metallurgical and mechanical properties of 304L steel in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding under the application of an external magnetic field. The microstructural characteristics of the weld bead were analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of the welded specimen, its Vickers microhardness map and Charpy impact energy at −20 °C were obtained. In addition, corrosion tests were carried out in the saline medium to compare the corrosion resistance of the joint with that of the base metal and that without the magnetic field. It was found that the external magnetic field decreased the percentage of delta ferrite, improved the filling of the weld pool with the weld metal, and decreased the primary and secondary dendritic spacings. The Vickers microhardness value under the magnetic field was found to be lower than that without the magnetic field, and the Charpy test showed no significant variation in energy absorption. Moreover, the welded joint produced under the external magnetic field manifested less resistance to corrosion.

Control of weld defects and weld fractures in the welding construction should be done to provide the quality assurance of the welding products and to provide a positive assessment of construction to meet technical and economic requirements. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the cooling distance on DC-LSND (dynamic controlled low stress no distortion) treatment on weld defects and weld fractures to obtain the best characteristic of the treatment. In this research, DC-LSND treatment was performed by cooling the both sides near weld line applied in welding process. The cooling media used cryogenic liquid nitrogen sprayed by nozzle. The nozzle was placed at a various distance behind the weld torch. Weld defect was investigated by radiograph test. Tensile strength was tested by servo pulser machine and weld fracture was examined by macro structure and SEM. Results showed that the DC-LSND treatment with a cooling nozzle that is too close to the weld torch has the potential to cause weld imperfections. Porosity and initial welding defect lead to the decrease in the tensile strength of the weld metal and the brittle fracture based on the fracture shape. SEM fractography shows that DC-LSND treatment tends to increase the number of inclusions that have an effect on increasing hardness.
