[MW:3836] RE: 3825] DC CC

By Materials & Welding
Following from AWS Welding Handbook, Volume 2, pg. 196
 
AC, DC - CC or DC - CV can be used for submerged arc welding -
 
:  "A constant voltage power supply is self regulating, so it can be used with a constant speed wire feeder.  No voltage or current sensing is required to maintain a stable arc, so very simple wire feed speed controls may be used.  The wire feed speed and wire diameter control the arc current and the power supply controls the arc voltage."
 
:"  Constant current sources are not self regulating so they must be used with a voltage sensing variable wire feed speed control.  This typd of control adusets the wire feed speed in response to changes in arc voltage.  The voltage is nonitored to maintain a constant arc length.  With this system the arc voltage is dependent upon the wire feed seed and diameter.  The power source controls the current.  Because voltage sensing variable wire feed speed controls are more complex, they are also more expensive than the simple constant wire feed speed controls that may bve used with CV systems."
 
It is just less expensive to use CV and I would imagine simplicity also means less prone to failure/problems.

Subject: [MW:3825] DC CC

Hello friends
      I had an doubt regarding the power source. Why DC-CC power source is not preferred in SAW process.
Due the voltage variations or any other specific reasons
kindly reply me if any one knows  the answer

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
