ANDERSSEN // B.S., Auburn University (1962) SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF OCEAN ENGINEER at the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY June, 1972 M.I.T. THESES ARE THE PERMANENT PROPERTY OF THE INSTITUTE AND SHALL NOT BE REPRODUCED EITHER IN FULL OR IN PART. The Underwater Application of Exothermic Welding by Arthur H. Anderssen Submitted to the Department of Ocean Engineering on May 12, 1972, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Ocean Engineer. ABSTRACT Existing welding processes which have been adapted for underwater use impose serious problems and often produce welds of questionable quality. This thesis presents an in- vestigation of a process previously untested in the under- water environment. The overall objective of the study is the conceptual design of a device which could be used to exothermicly weld a stud, bar, or padeye to underwater structures. The process is commonly called thermit welding. Several problem areas of both long and short range interest are considered. A theoretical temperature simula- tion model is developed and verified. The effects of wetness on weld strength and the ability of the thermit process to weld on a "dirty" surface are investigated experimentally. A conceptual design is prepared using experimental results. By far the most important conclusion arising out of the study is that the thermit process can be applied successfully underwater.

Shop Drawings: Show fabrication of structural-steel components. 1. Include details of cuts, connections, splices, camber, holes, and other pertinent data. 2. Include embedment drawings. 3. Indicate welds by standard AWS symbols, distinguishing between shop and field welds, and show size, length, and type of each weld. Show backing bars that are to be removed and supplemental fillet welds where backing bars are to remain. 4. Indicate type, size, and length of bolts, distinguishing between shop and field bolts. B. Paint Compatibility Certificates: From manufacturers of topcoats applied over shop primers, certifying that shop primers are compatible with topcoats. C. Mill test reports for structural steel, including chemical and physical properties. 1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Welding Qualifications: Qualify procedures and personnel according to AWS D1.1/D1.1M, "Structural Welding Code - Steel." B. Comply with applicable provisions of the following specifications and documents: 1. AISC 360. 2.

    Riveting, Soldering and Welding Plus Gluing and Screwing Joining in General So you have all kinds of steel pieces but not yet the object you want to make from that steel. Forging and casting can do a lot, but you can neither forge a big ship or a mechanical watch from a piece of steel, nor can you cast it. You must join your pieces, and joining is a major part of Materials Engineering. It is also a difficult part of Materials Engineering, even if we do not consider joined systems with moveable parts like gear wheels. If you think about it for a second, without joining you can't get very far. Even your flintstone arrow tip or axe head needed to be joined to the arrow shaft or some handle. While joining is obviously quite important for making all kinds of products, it is not clamorous and never easy. Non-metals you can join by simple means like sowing, tying with thread or twine or nailing. The ancient Egyptians actually sowed their large wooden boats together. But with wood you can also use nails (if you know how to make Illustration them) and the not-so-ancient Vikings indeed nailed their boats together. You use mortar for joining bricks and stones. This would be a huge topic by itself and I just mention it to point out that there are many ways for joining materials in general. So let's get a bit less general. In what follows I restrict myself mainly to the joining of metals. The major techniques available for joining are: Screwing (the metal) Riveting Welding Soldering Gluing Before I go onto details, let's ask ourselves a general question: What kind of mechanical properties can we expect from joined materials? To get a first idea, we simply imagine doing a tensile test on an "ideal" joined specimen like this Tensile Test for Joints The two joined metals might be of the same kind or of a different kind.
