Effects of Welding Parameters on Meltback in Titanium Metal Inert Gas Welding Process

This paper reports on process parameter selection for optimizing the weld pool geometry in the metal inert gas welding of High strength low alloy (HSLA) steel. The experimental studies were conducted under varying Voltage, flow rate, stick out and wire feed speed. The settings of welding parameters were determined by using the Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the welding parameters on the weld pool geometry is determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimum welding parameter combination was obtained by using the analysis of signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The confirmation tests indicated that it is possible to optimize the weld pool geometry significantly by using the Taguchi method. The experimental results confirmed the validity of the used Taguchi method for enhancing the welding performance and optimizing the welding parameters in the metal inert gas welding process.

Metal Inert Gas Welding

It is of great significance to reveal the microevolution mechanism of welded structures during thermo-mechanical coupling to improve the welding quality. In this paper, a random microcrystalline structure model for welds is established by the Voronoi tessellation method. According to the nanoindentation results, heterogeneous grains are produced. A welding workpiece model with statistical significance is established. On this basis, the Python script and the birth and death element method are used to realize the transient growth of a weld, and a thermo-mechanical coupling model for the SUS301L-HT stainless steel metal inert gas welding process is established. The temperature field and thermal stress field are calculated. The calculation shows that the thermal stresses along the growth direction of the weld area are in the form of a “trapezoid,” and the stresses at both ends are small. The stress in the vertical direction of the weld has a single peak, and the peak appears in the center of the weld. The stress distribution of the model that considers heterogeneous grains is obviously inhomogeneous compared with that of the traditional model. The thermal stress distribution in the weldment is obviously inhomogeneous due to the heterogeneous grains, the stresses at the boundaries of the adjacent grains in the weldment change abruptly. It is found that the greater the difference in the mechanical properties between grains is, the more obvious the change.

AbstrakPada proses produksi, pengaturan parameter poses memegang peranan penting terhadap tercapainya mutu produk yang dihasilkan. Pada proses pengelasan, salah satu parameter proses pengelasan yang harus diperhatikan adalah besar arus pengelasan. Kajian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui besar kuat arus yang sesuai pada proses pengelasan material ST 37 menggunakan proses pengelasan MIG (Metal Inert Gas). Pengujian dilakukan dengan memvariasikan besar kuat arus pengelasan yaitu pada 90A, 100A, 110A serta 120A. Pengujian tarik dilakukan terhadap hasil pengelasan tersebut. Hasil pengujian tarik menunjukkan, pengelasan menggunakan kuat arus sebesar 110A memberikan nilai yang maksimum pada beberapa besaran pengujian. Untuk nilai tegangan tarik, σ memiliki nilai 16.9 kg/mm2, modulus elastisitas, E, 3.14 kg/mm2 serta Regangan ε, 5.42%. Kata kunci: pengelasan, Metal Inert Gas, Tegangan Tarik, modulus elastisitas AbstractThe appropriate production parameter process plays an important role in fulfill the quality of the products such as mechanical properties like tensile strength and percentage of elongation of MIG welded joints. Likewise, in the welding process, one of the welding process parameters that is welding current must be considered, since the welding current is most influential parameters affecting weld penetration, deposition rate, weld bead geometry and quality of weld metal. Variation of welding current on MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding process on ST 37 specimen was to examine the effects on like tensile strength and percentage of elongation and elasticity modulus. From the experiment, it is found that when welding current increased up to 110 Ampere the tensile strength tends to incline then slightly decline when welding current increased, modulus elasticity value and percentage of elongation value as well. The maximum value of tensile strength 16.9 kg/mm2 percentage of elongation value 5.42%. and modulus of elasticity 3.14 kg/mm2 were gained at 110 ampere welding current Keywords: welding process, Metal Inert Gas, Tensile strength, elasticity modulus ,percentage of elongation

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 AISI 304 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 TIG welding torch. Enabling this electromagnetic field is done dynamically using a microcontroller. Welding parameters used are welding current 100; 105; 110 A and welding speed 1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s. The results of this study showed that EMF-TIG welding can produce a more uniform bead width along the weld line with a standard deviation of 0.08 compared with conventional TIG welding of 0.12. Increased welding speed of 2.05 mm/s causes no effect on the addition of an external magnetic field to the width of the weld bead. The current parameters are 105 A with a speed of 1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s resulted in compression of the top bead width by 0.87; 0.61; 0.1 mm. The welding parameters with a current of 105 A and welding speed of 1.6 mm/s have a larger upper bead compression effect of 0.84 mm compared to 110 A currents of 0.38 mm. Moreover, the D/W ratio obtained under an external magnetic field was higher than without magnetic.
