Journal ArticleDOI
TIG welding with single-component fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the use of activated flux TIG (ATIG) welding for the austenitic stainless steels with fluxes of only one major component and found that even the very simple flux that was used can greatly increase the penetration of the weld bead.

Marangoni convection and weld shape variations in Ar-O2 and Ar-CO2 shielded GTA welding
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the oxide layer on the Marangoni convection on the pool surface at elevated temperature has been investigated and it was shown that the heavy oxide layer inhibited the fluid flow induced by the MARANGONA convection and also became a barrier for the oxygen absorption into the molten weld pool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the Performance of Stainless Steel A-TIG Welds
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of oxide fluxes on weld morphology, arc voltage, mechanical properties, angular distortion and hot cracking susceptibility obtained with TIG welding, which applied to the welding of 5mm thick austenitic stainless steel plates.

Comparison of creep rupture behaviour of type 316L(N) austenitic stainless steel joints welded by TIG and activated TIG welding processes
T. Sakthivel,Madavan Vasudevan,K. Laha,P. Parameswaran,K.S. Chandravathi,M.D. Mathew,A.K. Bhaduri +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the weld joints of single-pass activated TIG (A-TIG) and multi-pass conventional TIG welding processes were studied at 923 K over a stress range of 160-280 MPa.

Effects of shielding gas composition and activating flux on GTAW weldments
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of shielding gas composition and activating flux on weld morphology, angular distortion, retained delta-ferrite content, mechanical properties and hot cracking susceptibility were investigated.
