RE: [MW:22965] Regarding TIG v/s MIG

By Materials & Welding

Dear Experts,

 

Could anyone advise me on the best route to follow regarding plasma cutting of stainless steel, I am aware that this is a welding forum, but it would be interesting to hear from people that use this cutting method and machines in their processes.

 

We are a company that have tube mills. We produce thin walled  stainless steel tubes of various diameters. The material thicknesses we use are 0.3mm, 0.25mm, 0.2mm and 0.15mm.

 

The stainless steel we use are of various grades e.g. 316, 321, etc..

 

We are currently cutting tubes on the fly circumferentially. We have a plasma torch mounted  on a rotating head, and cuts the tube as it passes through the head.

 

The problem we have is something we refer to as 'plasma dust', this is residue of the steel after the cut, this residue sits on the inside of the tube near the cutting edge.

 

We are looking at ways to reduce this 'plasma dust' issue. We are researching new model plasma cutting machines that can cut our tubes with minimum or no 'plasma dust', or some other type of cutting technology.

 

If anyone has experience or information that can help us in this regard, this information will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Naasief

Dear expert

 

I want to do Project On Comparison between MIG welding process v/s TIG welding Process and FCAW welding process v/s GMAW welding process(for steel).

so, i want to research papers , documents regarding this pls send me and guide me.

 

regards,

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
