The Impact

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is otherwise known as the Gas Tungsten Arc soldering (GTAW) process which when significant levels of weld quality or high precision welding are required, is known to represent an advanced arc welding process. However the impact of the welding factors on this form of welding is important for its welding produced in single-pass welding. In this investigation, the autogenous Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding was performed on a carbon mild steel plate with four parametric welding variables. High and low values of material thickness, welding current, welding speed and filler rod diameter have been measured in order to have an impact on an observable parametric response i.e. welding distance. Geometry of the weld bead has been investigated. An expert statistical software design expert has created a mathematical model, The experimental design is central composite design (CCD) and the sold width is the response measured by the Surface Response Methodology (RSM). It has been shown that the maintenance of a suitable parametric welding factor for a carbon steel plate gives substantial values of welding width.

Welding dissimilar materials has been widely applied in industries. Some of them are considered this as a strategy to develop their future technology products. Aluminum alloy and stainless steel have differences in physical, thermal, mechanical and metallurgic properties. However, selecting a suitable welding process and welding rods can solve this problem. This research aimed to investigate the T-joint welding between A6061 aluminum alloy and SUS304 stainless steel using new welding rods, Aluma-Steel by the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process. The mechanical properties, the characteristics of microstructure, and component analysis of the welds have been investigated by the mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). As a result, the fracture occurred at the adjacent area between welding seam and A6061 alloys plate. The thermal cracking appeared at central welding-seam along the base metals if high welding current. A large amount of copper elements found in the welds due to using the new welding rod, Aluma-Steel rod.

Temperature Range

Induced residual stresses on AISI 1020 low carbon steel plate during Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process was evaluated in this study using experimental and Finite Element Method (FEM). The temperature range measured from the welding experimentation was 251°C-423°C, while the temperature range measured from the FEM was 230°C-563°C; whereas, the residual stress range measured from the welding experimentation was 144MPa-402Mpa, while the residual range measured from the FEM was 233-477MPa respectively. Comparing the temperature and stress results obtained from both methods, it was observed that the range of temperature and residual stresses measured were not exactly the same due to the principles at which both methods operate but disparities between the methods were not outrageous. However, these values can be fed back to optimization tools to obtain optimal parameters for best practices.  Results of the induced stress distribution was created from a static study where the thermal results were used as loading conditions and it was observed that the temperature increased as the von-Mises stress increased, indicating that induced stresses in welded component may hamper the longevity of such component in service condition. Hence, post-weld heat treatment is imperative in order to stress relieve metals after welding operation and improve their service life.

In this research, the effects of heat input on tensile properties and microstructure were investigated for super alloy Inconel-718 sheets weld by Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process. The tensile properties and microstructure of weld joints were evaluated. The experiment was conducted with six different combinations of welding parameters like welding current, voltage and welding speed, which were give in six different welding heat input combinations of welding parameters. The experimental results shows that the welding joints weld with low welding heat input was yield higher tensile properties. From the experimentation it was understand that the tensile properties increases when the welding heat input decrease. Drastic grain coarsening was evidenced when the heat input was increases. For the weld joints experimented in this research it was also observed that amount of laves phase was increased with increase in the welding heat input which is the major fact for noticeable variation in the ultimate tensile strength of the weld joints welded by TIG welding process with different welding heat input.

<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>

This paper aimed to study an overlap distance (OL) of hard-faced welding bead in a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding on the JIS-S50C carbon steel surface. Hard-faced weld metal was produced on an outside surface of the cylinder, using TIG welding with a high chromium flux-cored wire electrode. Welding process parameters were a welding current of 150–210 A and a hard-faced layer of 1–3. The experimental results were summarized as follows. An increase in welding current increased the weld width and the penetration but decreased the weld convex. It also increased the hardness and wear resistance of hard-faced weld metal. The increase of a weld overlap distance resulted in a decrease in the dilution effect in weld metals and an increase in the hardness and wear resistance. An increase in the hard-faced weld metal layer also resulted in a decrease in the dilution effect, resulting in an increase in the hardness and wear resistance.

Welding Quality

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding on Duplex stainless steel (DSS) is more easy, comfortable and useful, if the process is precisely understood and controlled through development of the science & technology. TIG welding on DSS has been performed with the help of specific controlled welding process parameters. Welding quality has been strongly depended on these process parameters. In this study, some valuable welding parameters are chosen. These are welding current, shielding gas flow rate and speed of welding. These process parameters of TIG welding for ASTM/UNS 2205 DSS welds are optimized by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method and Grey based Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal array (OA) experimental plan with the conception of signal to noise ratio (N/S). After that, compression results of above mentioned two analyses of TIG welding process parameters have been calculated. The quality of the TIG welding on DSS has been evaluated in term of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and percentage of elongation. Compression results of both analyses indicate application feasibility for continuous improvement of welding quality on DSS in different components of chemical, oil and gas industries.

In welding, the quality of welded joints is greatly influenced by the welding process parameters. Thus, in order to achieve a good weld quality, there is exigency to select the right welding process parameters. The focus of this study is to investigate the effect of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding process parameters; welding current, welding voltage and welding speed on the tensile strength of mild steel AA10119 welded plates. The experiment was designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array with three levels. Kaierda MIG MAG Inverter CO2 Welder Model E-180 welding machine was used to conduct the experiments with three repetitions. From the analysis carried out by applying Taguchi’s method, the result shows that the welding speed and welding current have the most significant influence on tensile strength of the weld and an optimum parameter setting of A3B2C2 was suggested; welding current 240 A, welding voltage 25 V and welding speed 0.010 m/s. The mean tensile strength at this optimal setting A3B2C2 was predicted to be 442 N/mm2.
