Why Weld usually fails in Haz?
In the welded condition many stainless steels are susceptible to rapid intergranular corrosion or stress corrosion cracking. This is because the heat from welding sensitizes the base metal heat affected zone (HAZ) and the weld.
What is the heat affected zone in welding?
The heat affected zone (HAZ) is a non-melted area of metal that has undergone changes in material properties as a result of being exposed to high temperatures. The HAZ is the area between the weld or cut and the base (unaffected), parent metal.
Which welding process consists of minimum heat affected zone?
Ultrasonic Welding (USW)
Which rays are not produced during welding?
Which of the following ray is not produced during welding?
- Gamma rays.
- Visible light rays.
- Infrared ray.
- Ultra violet rays.
Which of the following is not resistance welding?
2. Which of the following is not a type of resistance welding? Explanation: Among the following, seam, projection and spot are few of the types of resistance welding. Electro-slag is one of the forms of gas welding processes.
Which flame is suitable for cutting operation?
neutral flame
What does ARC mean in welding?
Arc welding is a type of welding process using an electric arc to create heat to melt and join metals. A power supply creates an electric arc between a consumable or non-consumable electrode and the base material using either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) currents.
What is the effect of long arc length?
Arc Length Too Long Arc welding is a constant current process, but the arc length has an effect on voltage. Reducing the arc length will decrease the voltage, and this reduces the heat in the weld. Increasing arc length will increase the voltage.
What condition occurs when the welding current is too high?
Spatter
What is the normal arc length?
0.10 inch
Can you touch the electrode while stick welding?
A: A stick electrode is always “electrically hot” when the welder is on. Wear dry gloves in good condition when welding. Do not touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or wet clothing.
What angle should you weld at?
5 to 15 degrees
Why are my welds so tall?
Your mig bead being too tall indicates that you have not set enough voltage to enable the arc pool to melt the incoming wire. You can either reduce your wire feed (which will reduce your amp input ) or alternately increase your voltage setting.
Why is my welds splattering?
Spatter is caused by several factors. The main factor is a disturbance in the molten weld pool during the transfer of wire into the weld. This is usually seen when the welding voltage is too low or the amperage is too high for a given wire and gas combination.
Why is my welder popping?
A MIG welder pops when wire feeding occurs faster than melting does. It also happens if solid wire is used without any shielding gas. Factors behind this problem include incorrect size, type, and speed of the wire, and adjustments of amperage and voltage.
Why are my welds flat?
Welds that are too concave or convex can compromise the integrity of the finished product. If a concave weld bead appears in the flat or horizontal position, it’s often the result of voltage that’s too high, wire feed speed that is too slow or travel speed that is too fast.
