We Vice President Dean R. Wilson believe this will be your best educational opportunity of the year; you will find no other Kimberly-Clark Global Safety conference anywhere offering a wider range of technical information. The reason for this is that welding experts from all over the world will be sharing their knowledge with the Vice President David J. Landon people who make it to Denver. Vermeer Mfg. Co. The IIW Annual Assembly is a full week of technical presentations combined with Treasurer Robert G. Pali several social activities. This allows you to hear the presentations during the day, and fol- J. P. Nissen Co. low up on the information with the speakers in the evening. It is an outstanding venue for discovering what is going on in welding around the world as well as for developing Executive Director Ray W.

The week American Welding Society consists of three (or more) days of Commission and Committee meetings followed by a two-day conference. The first three days of meetings involve technical presentations on a wide range of subjects. These are based in the Commissions and Committees. Each Directors group has a particular area of technical interest, much like those of the AWS Technical T. Anderson (At Large), ITW Global Welding Tech. Center Committees. The final two days are given over to an International Conference. This J. R.

Department of The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date 7 ABSTRACT Previous studies of the properties of electroslag weld metal have been done using electroslag remelted ingots made under welding conditions. This procedure assumes the electrical and thermal regimes of these pro• cesses to be equivalent. To test this assumption an experimental program was devised in which the remelted metal of an ingot and weld made with each of three slag systems was analysed and the mechanical properties examined. The results show that each process imparted different properties to the remelted metal by alloy and inclusion modification. Consequently the above assumption was proved invalid. Special consideration was given to the effect of inclusion composition and overall distribution toward mechanical properties.

Hardfacing involves applying a consumable with desired wear prpropertiesoperties over a soft base metal surface to enhance resistance to different wear mechanisms. Substrate materials used for hardfacing are mainly steel, while the alloys of carbide forming elements dominate the surfacing consumables. PowderPowder metallurgy, atomisation and granulation are methods of producing hardfacing alloy powder. Most welding methods were identified to be successfully used in applying consumable on substrate surfaces. Dilution decreases with iincreasencrease in the number of hardfacing layers. Buffers, butters and buildbuild----upup metals are used to compensate for composition differences to prevent spalling, overcome welding difficulties and make up for badly worn surfaces, respectively. Waffle, stringer and ddotot patterns are the existing hardfacing deposit patpatterns.terns.

This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. While often an industrial process, welding can be done in many different environments, including open air, under water and in outer space. Regardless of location, welding remains dangerous, and precautions are taken to avoid burns, electric shock, eye damage, poisonous fumes, and overexposure to ultraviolet light.

  • Applications and Trends of Electroslag Technology in Japan
    Welding Research Abroad, 32(2):27-34, 1986 APPLICATIONS AND TRENDS OF ELECTROSLAG TECHNOLOGY IN JAPAN Thomas W. Eagar INTRODUCTION Electrosiag welding and casting processes have been used in Japan for approximately two decades, with enerally good success. This report describes the amount of electrostag welding pzrformed In 3apan in 1981 along with typical product applications. It also describes briefly an electroslag casting and an electroslag overlay process, as well as recent trends in the usage of ektroslag technology. A brief discussion of the reasons fw the trends is also included. ELECTROSLAG WELDING Professor Isao Masumoto of Nagoya University reviewed the application of electroslag welding in Japan in 1981 [Masumoto et aZ. (1981 )]. His survey, which does not claim to be comprehensive, but appears to include most of the larger users of electroslag welding, indicates that more than 250 tons of electroslag weld metal was deposited in 1981. This was estimated to be 0.064% of the total volume of weld metal used in Japan; hence, in Japan, electroslag is a specialized process which is used for a limited number of applications. Nonetheless, Japanese industry has a wide range of experience with the process. Welds of 0.3 m to 9 m length have been made in section thicknesses ranging from 16 mm to 2.1 m. Welding currents range from 280 A to 8000 A with joint gaps from 18 mm to 50 mm. Materials welded include mtid steel, high strength steel, stainless steel, and Cr-Mo steels. As can be seen from Figure I, three-quarters of the weld metal is produced by the nonconsumable electrode guide process and most of this is used by the industrial machinery and pressure vessel industries.

  • Recommended Practices for Electrogas Welding AWS C5.7:2000 (R2006) an American National Standard
    AWS C5.7:2000 (R2006) An American National Standard Recommended Practices for Electrogas Welding AWS C5.7:2000 (R2006) An American National Standard Approved by the American National Standards Institute May 5, 2000 Recommended Practices for Electrogas Welding Supersedes ANSI/AWS C5.7-89 Prepared by the American Welding Society (AWS) C5 Committee on Arc Welding and Cutting Under the Direction of the AWS Technical Activities Committee Approved by the AWS Board of Directors Abstract Electrogas Welding (EGW) is a specialized welding process having similarities to the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or the flux cored arc welding (FCAW) processes for vertical position welding. The electrode deposits filler metal in the cavity formed by backing plates or shoes that bridge the groove between the plates being welded. The elec- trode may be solid, metal cored, or flux cored, and additional shielding may or may not be obtained from an externally supplied gas or gas mixture. The weld is usually completed in a single pass. Fundamentals of the process, including the various methods of welding, are presented. A discussion of equipment, consumables, applications, and metallurgical advantages and limitations is provided. The selection of process variables and operating conditions and typical EGW procedures is then presented. Inspection of welds, and training and qualifica- tion of welding procedures and operators are described. Finally, a troubleshooting guide, safety considerations, and a supplementary reading list are presented. 550 N.W. LeJeune Road,
