Particularly susceptible to welding distortions are thin-walled structures, in which hard-to-predict welding distortions are responsible for serious technical problems. This paper presents the results concerning the welding of spatial and flat elements used in large-sized welded structures in terms of welding distortions. Due to their geometry, large welded structures may be the source of complex welding distortions, e.g. corrugations. The research-related works discussed in the article were carried out using the finite element method (FEM). The validation of FEM model of the welding process was performed using an optical system measuring welding distortions of an actual structure.","PeriodicalId":184101,"journal":{"name":"Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126882616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study involved the performance of macro and microscopic metallographic tests of the overlay welds as well as the identification of related dilution. The study also included hardness measurements involving the cross-section of the overlay welds as well as tests of the chemical composition of the overlay weld surface (paying attention to the maximum content of iron in the overlay weld, which should not exceed 5%). Adopted PTA and TOPTIG cladding parameters enabled the satisfaction of the maximum criterion related to the acceptable content of iron in the overlay weld, ensuring the stability of the cladding process and the invariable geometry of the overlay welds around the entire tube circumference.","PeriodicalId":184101,"journal":{"name":"Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131708670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research-related test results were obtained when scanning a tube made of steel 316, using an internal probe and a MultiScan 5800 device. The tests involved the use of the classical ECT vortex current method applied to examine both the tube containing artificial defects, simulating the most common defects in industrial heat exchanger tubular inserts, and reference tubes containing standard defects. The non-standard defects (created artificially) simulated combinations of cracks, pits or other defects formed as a result of exposure to aggressive chemical and mechanical factors present in industrial conditions. The tests involved the scanning of the entire length of the tube at a constant rate. The tests were performed using a transient probe recording electrical impedance changes in a relative mode and in an absolute mode. The interpretation of results related to the non-standard defects was based on a comparison with the results obtained in relation to the standard reference defects. Values obtained in relation to the non-standard defects enabled, among other things, the identification of their volume and position in relation to the measurement probe. In most cases it was not possible to interpret the geometry of a given defect. The foregoing could be achieved using other non-destructive testing techniques.","PeriodicalId":184101,"journal":{"name":"Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131599082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The welding process was subjected to optimisation involving the use of a new, i.e. electromechanical force system (EFS). The opti-misation-related approach involved the reduction of welding current and the ex-tension of a welding current flow time in comparison with those obtained when using the pneumatic force system. It was assumed that the acceptance criteri-on would be the breaking torque not lower than that obtained under the most favourable welding conditions performed using the PFS. The research work involved comparative numerical calculations (performed using the SORPAS software) in relation to both, i.e. the PFS and EFS. The technological welding tests were performed using inverter welding machines (1 kHz) provided with various (electrode) force systems. The research work also included metallographic tests and torsional strength tests. As a result of the application of EFS and a special innovative hybrid algorithm for controlling the initial electrode force, a wider and higher weld core was obtained. The depth of \"penetration\" into the sheet was also greater. As a result, the welded joint has a higher strength (by 30%). Technological welding tests for the new EFS system were carried out for a 25% lower welding current compared to PFS. Despite the lower welding current for EFS, the welding energy is slightly lower but the welding quality for EPS is significantly higher. 2b).
