TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that oxides have two different effects: one on the fusion zone chemistry and the other on the electric arc behavior, and it was established that the oxide effects by Marangoni convection appeared for a critical value of the welding energy.
Abstract: Activated tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, which involves the deposition of an inorganic powder on the metal surface prior welding, improves TIG welding performances in terms of weld bead penetration. Most common commercial fluxes contain halides and oxides. The present paper focuses on fluxes made of oxides. It appears that oxides have two different effects: one on the fusion zone chemistry and the other on the electric arc behaviour. First, oxygen reverses the Marangoni convection movements that become centripetal, contributing thus to increase 'D' penetration. On the other hand, oxides may cause an increase in the energy flux density transferred by the arc to the metal. The characterisation of the arc plasma by optical emission spectroscopy suggests that oxides do not increase the arc temperature. It is established that the oxide effects by Marangoni convection appear for a critical value of the welding energy, whereas the oxide effects on the electrical arc exist irrespective of the welding e...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-physics computational model for the conventional Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) joining process is presented, which has been upgraded with respect to its predictive capabilities regarding the spatial distribution of the mechanical properties controlling the ballistic limit (i.e. penetration resistance) of the weld.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the recently developed multi-physics computational model for the conventional Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) joining process that has been upgraded with respect to its predictive capabilities regarding the spatial distribution of the mechanical properties controlling the ballistic limit (i.e. penetration resistance) of the weld. Design/methodology/approach – The original model consists of five modules, each dedicated to handling a specific aspect of the GMAW process, i.e.: electro-dynamics of the welding-gun; radiation-/convection-controlled heat transfer from the electric arc to the workpiece and mass transfer from the filler-metal consumable electrode to the weld; prediction of the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of thermal and mechanical fields within the weld region during the GMAW joining process; the resulting temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the material microstructure throughout the weld region; and spatial distribution ...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The effects of nitrogen addition in shielding gas on microstructure evolution and localized corrosion behavior of duplex stainless steel (DSS) welds were studied in this paper, where 2% N 2 to pure Ar shielding gas improved the localized corrosion resistance in the DSS welds, which was due to compensation for nitrogen loss and promoting nitrogen further solution in the austenite phases.
