RE: [MW:13241] Tandem MIG welding

By Materials & Welding

Sec II-C has nothing to do with practical application.  It is standardized testing program so that filler metals can be compared on an apples to apples basis.

 

CO2 used for GMAW (MAG) will result in a short circuiting arc transfer mode

 

A mix of 90%Argon – 10% CO2 will mostly like result in a spray transfer

 

Choice of transfer mode (shielding gas, amperage, voltage) is usually based on thickness of material to be welded.

Hi

 

For ER 70S-6, the shielding gas as per ASME Sec II-C , SFA 5.18 is 100% CO2.

Why are you using a mixture ??

 

Please change your shielding gas to Co2 first and then give feedback.

 

Regards

Good morning group members ,

I would like to know your experience in Mig welding with TBi TD 20 Tandem torch of TBI industries . We are experiencing problems like burn through, excessive spatters, undercut in the welds. Weld is fillet of 10 mm. We simultaneously weld two fillets using robots. Job rotates in vertical plane and the robots are  stationary . We are unable to stabilize the weld quality . Thickness of the at the joint is 10 mm and 14 mm in one weld joint and in another it is 10 mm and 12 mm.Welding gas is 90/10 argon / CO2.Power source is "power wave robotic 655 " of Lincoln Electric

We are using 1.6 mm solid wire in the leading torch and 1.2 mm in the following torch . Weld parameters are 400amps/28 volts and 360amps /27 volts respectively.weld wire is ER70S-6 in Marathon spools. Weld wire is ESSAB make .Material of the joint members is AISI 1020.

I look forward to your comments /suggestions.

Regards,

S C Balawat

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...
