Residual stresses can have a significant impact on the stability of structural members. In the case of I-section beam elements, such stresses can impact lateral--torsional buckling (LTB) capacity, particularly in the inelastic range. I-sections are typically fabricated by either rolling as a...

Seven Ni-WC tubular wires utilized in this study were characterized by the nickel sheath area, powder composition, and overall initial carbide volume fraction of the wire prior to welding. The electrical resistivity of steel, stainless steel, and Ni-WC welding consumables were measured from...

During the past several decades, the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of high strength microalloyed steels has been extensively studied in an effort to improve the fracture toughness and strength of these types of steels, without appreciably increasing steel...

Heat distribution measurements in Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) were concurrently measured at the cathode and anode giving increased insight and prediction capabilities. A calorimeter and water cooled cathode were used to determine energy partitions in GMAW for various electrodes, currents,...

Finite Element Model of the Thermal Profile During Submerged Arc Welding with One and Two Electrodes
DownloadFall 2016
The submerged-arc welding (SAW) process is used extensively in the manufacturing of pipes. The heat flow introduced by the welding operation has a significant impact on the properties of both the weld metal and the heat affected zone (HAZ). The work presented in this thesis aims to develop a...

A calorimeter for the deposition of metal during free-flight GMAW was developed for the purpose of measuring droplet heat content in Ni/WC tubular wires. By approximating the thermal gradients within the calorimeter to be second order polynomials the energy transferred to the calorimeter by the...

The weld bead width and the penetration depth are major parameters that determine the mechanical strength of the weld joint. The analytic models, such as the Gaussian heat source model, may provide quite accurate estimations for the weld width and penetration; however, the model does not account...

Welding is defined as the joining of metals with extreme heat, producing fumes, which consist of harmful metals and ultrafine particulates that may lead to detrimental health effects. Currently, air sampling is the primary method to determine welding fume exposure, but is not always feasible....

Microstructural Characterization of Chromium Carbide Overlays and a Study of Alternative Welding Processes for Industrial Wear Applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Microstructural features of chromium carbide overlays (CCOs) were examined in this work. It was found that the microstructures can contain unmelted alloy powders. It was also shown that the structures of the primary M7C3 carbides are long hexagonal rods. Change in the microstructure from the top...
