This is a short report on a case study where distortion could be controlled during welding of a complex composite joint of a big size structural component. In it, post weld machining was also involved.

In this article, the procedure for restoration of forged ductile iron (DI) pipes through the application of weld overlay is discussed. After several trial tests, an optimum composition of the metal cored wire has been found out for overlaying a range of mould materials. Metal-cored wires of 2.4 mm and 3.2 mm diameter have been found to be the suitable sizes for overlaying of small, and large moulds of more than 800 mm respectively. Quite large moulds of 1500 mm and above have been welded successfully using 4.0 mm metal cored wires typically at 650-680A and at a weld deposition rate of over 7.5 kg per hour with heat input up to 2.60 kJ/mm with a control of preheating and reheating temperatures.

Bead on plate geometry gives a priori knowledge about weld characteristics. In the current work, bead on plate experimental data are taken from one previously published work and different training algorithms are applied to get trained with the experimental data. Experiments were done using four-factor, five-level central composite rotatable design with full replication technique using response surface methodology. The working range of each parameter was decided upon by inspecting the weld bead for smooth appearance and the absence of visible defects. Bead of Super Duplex Stainless Steel was deposited on low carbon steel substrate using flux cored arc welding. An attempt is made in this work to predict the bead geometry parameters using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Effectiveness of three different ANN training functions are compared to choose the best model of these three. TRAINLM (LevenbergMarquardt) algorithm is found to be the most appropriate training function for prediction of bead geometry in this work.

Nowadays structural application demands two important features in the fabrication and manufacturing of the materials. They are reduction of the weight and as well as cost. Aluminium (Al) alloys are the best choice for controlling these two features and perfectly replacing steel in many industrial applications. The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technique is a good, powerful, and worthwhile method and one of the leading and appropriate joining techniques for Al alloys. The solid phase nature of this process controls many defects especially melt-related defects. Primarily, it is applied for low melting materials although the applications are extended for high melting point materials including steels and composites. The present study describes the tensile, hardness, and impact characteristics of Friction Stir (FS) welded butt joints of similar aluminium alloy groups of AA6351 with AA6351, AA5083 with AA5083 alloy, and dissimilar aluminium alloy group of Al AA6351 with Al AA5083.

Cladding has established itself to be a popular, versatile, easy and cost-effective way to enhance the corrosion/erosion property as well as mechanical properties of the job surface materials. Among the several methods cladding by welding is one of the most suitable methods preferred by the industries. Cladding by gas metal arc welding is becoming more popular due to its simplicity, user-friendliness and cost-effectiveness for last few decades. Cladding is basically a dissimilar welding process in which weldibility of individual material can be enhanced by another buttering layer on the base material so that it becomes as a sand-witch. Here in the present experiment 316  Steel is been deposited on E350 low carbon fabrication steel in three ways, firstly with no coating and then coated by Copper and Nickel respectively. Cladding is done in all cases applying gas metal arc welding process using full CO2 shielding atmosphere. Heat input was varying by altering welding current and torch travel speed within a particular range (almost the same for all cases) keeping welding voltage constant during the cladding of each type sample. Three types of clad samples were undergone to accelerated corrosion test in chloride atmosphere and the corresponding microstructure has been analyzed. Results indicate improvement in corrosion resistance of clad parts most in case of nickel buttering layer than that of copper buttering layer and so also for non-coated low carbon steel specimens.
