Article Abstract

"External magnetic-field (EMF)" has been proved as an additional process parameter like voltage and current affecting the weld arc form, molten metal-flow, microstructure, and characteristics of the weld joint. This article analyzed the research work that has been done to promote EMF application in welding and discussed the recent development trends and research in the design and fabrication of EMF setup to the controlled arc welding process. It is found that even after the successful application of EMF in welding. Still, there is no mass level initiation to integrate EMF with welding machines that hinder researchers and manufacturers to accept it as a regular process parameter to control weld quality.

Fracture toughness is an important index related to the service safety of marine risers, and weld is an essential component of the steel catenary risers. In this paper, microscopic structure characterization methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), as well as mechanical experiments like crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and nanoindentation, were employed to conduct a detailed study on the influence of the microstructure characteristics of multi-wire submerged arc welded seams of steel catenary riser pipes on CTOD fracture toughness. The influence mechanisms of each microstructure characteristic on fracture toughness were clarified.

In this study, the melt pool formation behavior of high-speed laser-arc hybrid welding of aluminum plates was simulated using finite element analysis (FEA). To evaluate the heat input efficiencies of the laser and arc, standalone laser or arc welding experiments were conducted using the same arc or laser processing parameters as those employed in hybrid welding. These experiments were also simulated using FEA to calibrate the laser and arc heat adsorption parameters.

Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has fully empowered the design and manufacturing of metals with its unparalleled efficiency and flexibility. However, the process has relatively poor shape control capabilities, often requiring machining post-processing. This study explores a tungsten inert gas arc remelting (TIGAR) process to improve the surface flatness of WAAM components at a low cost and significantly reduce machining waste (up to 76%), which is crucial for the sustainable development of the process.

Forging additive hybrid manufacturing integrated the high efficiency of forging and the great flexibility of additive manufacturing, which has significant potential in the construction of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs). In the components, the heat-affected zone (HAZ, also called as bonding zone) between the forged substrate zone and the arc deposition zone was key to the final performance of the components. In this study, the Mn-Mo-Ni welding wire was deposited on the 16MnD5 substrate with a submerged arc heat source.

In this study, the relationships between the values of the parameters included in heat input (welding current, arc voltage and welding speed) and their effects on the size of the cross-sectional areas of welds in joints made of ferritic-austenitic stainless steel using the GMAW method were determined. An attempt was also made to determine to what extent it will be possible to predict the properties of fabricated welded joints using the functional relationship describing the effect of the value of heat input on the size of the cross-sectional area of welds. The analysis of the developed mathematical models shows their suitability for explaining (and predicting) the sizes of the cross-sectional areas of welded joints depending on the values of the input parameters of the welding process.
