Compared with the existing arc sensors, high speed rotating scanning arc sensor has up to 50 HZ rotating speed, and it can be much more compact, cheaper and more sensitive. The arc welding robot can weld for three movement types using the high speed rotating scanning arc sensor. Weld shaping and mechanical properties for three movement styles of arc welding robot torch are studied. The macrostructure appearance characteristics of mild steel bead-on-plate weld seam section and fillet weld seam section are analyzed. Experimental researches are undertaken in tension and bending test.The results show that the weld shaping of rotating arc weld for bead-on-plate weld and fillet weld is better than that of linear motion arc welding and oscillating arc welding. This investigation will provide the theoretical basis for the advantage and choice of three arc movement styles in the practical production.

The butt weld of Q345R with the thickness of 40mm has been manufactured with the submerged-arc welding (SAW). The mechanical properties of the weld seam have been tested and the metallurgical structures have been analyzed. Conclusions have been obtained as follows: the metallurgical structure of multi-layer butt weld is much more complicated than the monolayer ones; only the last weld layer has the obvious zones of weld zone, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and fusion area; the weld zone and the fusion area will be heat treated with the next layers weld finished; the mechanical property of the multi-layer butt weld is much better than the monolayer weld determined by the corresponding organization.

GH3535 supperalloy, whose grade of ASME is UNS N10003, is currently considered as a candidate material for solid-fuel and fluid-fuel molten salt reactor in china. During the development of procedures for welding GH3535 superalloy, consideration should always be given to the possibility that repair welding may be necessary. This paper presents weld repairs of GH3535 alloy rolled plates using gas tungsten arc welding with filler metal. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the low heat input process for weld repair of GH3535 alloy plates about the microstructure features and mechanical properties. The results demonstrated that sound joints without defects could be obtained after weld repairs. Due to repair thermal cycles on the original weld seam, the size of carbide precipitate became large, but repair welding is found to cause no decrease in short-term time-independent strength.

The welding robot system designed in this paper is helpful to realize welding automation. The closed loop control system and algorithm of arc rotating speed have been designed, so arc rotating speed was stabilized near the set value and the tracking accuracy of fillet weld has been improved by the rotating arc sensor. A data acquisition system and a motion control system have been designed based on multi-sensor technology. The mapping relationship between the features in the welding seam image and the pose of the welding gun was established, so as to realize the identification of the pose of the welding gun based on three-wire laser vision sensing technology. The effect of wire extension, welding currents and welding voltages on the current waveform was investigated based on the rotating arc sensor. By using the designed system and algorithm, the welding deviations recognition experiment, the arc rotating speed control experiment and the tracking experiment of the right-angle welding seam have been carried out. The experimental results showed that the welding deviations were located within [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm, and the welding robot can track the complex welding seam accurately and reliably.

The welding technique used for ASIS 304 and 316L austenitic stainless steel sheets both with a thickness of 3mm is gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) and manual metal arc welding (MMAW). Mechanical properties that were verified include: hardness test and tensile test before welding and after it. The welding process was done on two types of specimens: with a central hole and without hole. We concluded that there was a decrease in the properties of tensile for both specimens with central hole, and 316L had tensile characteristics better than 304 when using the technique TIG. As for 304, it had tensile characteristics better than 316L when using the technique MMAW. We also concluded that the existence of central holes had an influence on the hardness characteristics on both types. The hardness increased in 304 but decreased in 316L. The welding process also showed that there was no influence of MMAW on hardness on both specimens. However it showed that there was no influence of TIG on the hardness for 304, but for 316L values increased.

The butt weld sample with the material of 15CrMoR has been manufactured with the bonding methods of manual electric arc welding (SMAW) and submerged-arc welding (SAW). The relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties has been analyzed in this paper, and the conclusions have been obtained as followed: only the last weld layer has the obvious zones of weld zone, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and fusion area for the multi-layer butt weld, the weld zone and the fusion area will be heat-treated by the next layer welding; the hardness along central intersection shows a W-shaped distribution, and the zone with normalizing organization has the lowest hardness and the surface layer has the highest hardness; the mechanical properties of the multi-layer butt weld are much better than the monolayer weld’s.

Purpose: To present a technology for hardfacing of metal-cutting tools by arc welding in vacuum. Design/methodology/approach: The experiments were carried out using an installation for arc welding in vacuum. Objects of research were metal cutting tools (lathe knives), made of high-speed steel HS6-5-2 on a base metal of structural steel C45. The structure, hardness and wear resistance after hardfacing and after a triple tempering at 560°C have been determined. The heat resistance of the obtained instruments has been examined. Findings: The microstructural analysis showed that the structure of the built-up layer consisted of martensite, retained austenite and carbides. This was confirmed by the values of measured hardness after welding which were about 63-64 HRC. The triple tempering led to an increase in hardness by 3-4 HRC. It was found that the built-up layers (cutting edges of tools) retain their hardness (HRC=63-65) up to a temperature of 615-620°C, which shows that the heat resistance of the build-up layers was similar to that of the hardened and tempered tools of the same steel. The built-up work-pieces (excluding heat treated) and the reference knife showed the same cutting qualities at cutting speeds in the range of 55 to 120 m/min. It has been found that triple tempering after hardfacing led to increased wear resistance and consequently the durability of the tool also increased due to the higher hardness. Practical implications: The practical application is related to the production of metalcutting tools. Originality/value: The proposed technological method allows to produce defects free built-up layers. The cutting properties of the built-up in vacuum layers are comparable to or better than those of new tools made of steel HS 6-5-2.
