To resolve the problem of grain coarsening occurring in the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone during conventional gas tungsten arc welding(C-GTAW) welded titanium alloy, which severely restricts the improvement of weld mechanical properties, welding experiments on Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy by adopting ultra-high frequency pulse gas tungsten arc welding (UHFP-GTAW) technique were carried out to study arc characteristics and weld bead microstructure. Combined with image processing technique, arc shapes during welding process were observed by high-speed camera. Meanwhile the average arc pressure under various welding parameters were obtained by adopting pressure measuring equipment with high-precision. In addition, the metallographic samples of the weld cross section were prepared for observing weld bead geometry and microstructure of the fusion zone. The experimental results show that, compared with C-GTAW, UHFP-GTAW process provides larger arc energy density and higher proportion of arc core region to the whole arc area. Moreover, UHFP-GTAW process has the obviously effect on grain refinement, which can decrease the grain size of the fusion zone. The results also revealed that a significant increase of arc pressure while increasing pulse frequency of UHFP-GTAW, which could improve the depth-to-width ratio of weld beads.

Full Factorial

This research was to study of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) welding parameters that affects to the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy AA5083 welding with GTAW. The full factorial design was experiment. The factors was study in type of polarity on alternating current (AC), direct current electrode negative (DCEN) and direct current electrode positive (DCEP), levels of welding current for 180,200,220 and 240 amp. The specimen to analyses the physical properties has microstructure and hardness of weld metal and heat affected zone. The result showed that type of welding current and levels of welding current interaction hardness at the level of confidence 95% (P-value<0.05). The factor hardness maximum of weld metal was alternating current at level of current 240 amp. and hardness of 136.53 HV. The factor hardness maximum of HAZ value was alternating current at level of welding 220 amp. and hardness of 169.43 HV. The welding parameters can result in increasing Mg2Si intensity in parent phase. It can also be observed that Mg2Si at the parent phase decreased due to high welding current in HAZ.This research can be used as information in choosing how to welding parameter for gas tungsten arc welding of aluminum alloy.

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) involves several process parameters. In Pulsed Current GTAW frequency of pulse and pulse to time ratio differentiates the characteristics of weld pool geometry of from GTAW. In the present work a simple heat transfer model for Pulsed Current GTA welding was developed and the weld pool dimensions were experimentally verified with AISI 1020 steel. Relationship between speed and pulsed current frequency on weld pool dimension was studied. Weld pool dimension of pulsed and non-pulsed GTAW is studied.

Alloy X is prone to liquation and solidification cracks in the weldments, because of the development of topologically close-packed precipitates such as σ, P, M6C, and M23C6 carbides during arc welding methods. The present work examines the possibility of alleviating the segregation of Cr and Mo content to eliminate the development of topologically close-packed phases using a conventional arc welding technique. The welding of Alloy X has been achieved with ERNiCrMo-2 filler material by gas tungsten arc welding and pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding technique. The optical microscope shows the refined microstructure in pulsed current gas tungsten arc with respect to gas tungsten arc welding. The Mo-rich segregation was identified in gas tungsten arc weldment, and the same was absent in pulsed current gas tungsten arc. These segregations of Mo-rich content encourage the development of M3C and M6C secondary precipitates in gas tungsten arc welding. Pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding shows the existence of NiCrCoMo precipitate. The present work confirmed the absence of P, σ, and M23C6 in both the weldments of Alloy X. The ultimate tensile strength, microhardness, and impact strength of pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding are increased by 3.39, 9.17, and 21.62%, respectively, with gas tungsten arc welding. The observed Mo-rich M3C and M6C secondary phases in the gas tungsten arc welding affect the tensile strength of the weldments.
