    GMAW shotcircuit - Lack of fusion

    Hello everyone, I have a question about GMAW short-circuit. This process was selected for some out-of-position joints, and it is not possible to use another process or change the transfer mode. We have encountered lack of fusion in these field welds. I believe that increasing the joint angle...

    Question about weld fillet reinforcement in PJP or CJP joints

    Hi, Could someone please call me and explain the objective of using fillet welds to reinforce PJP or CJP welds? I read that they help prevent stress concentration and increase fatigue strength, but why? I think that this is because stress is better distributed. Also, could you recommend a...

    Undermatching filler metal - AWS D1.1 and ASME IX

    Hi Everybody, I have a question regarding the use of undermatching filler metal in the qualification of welding procedures under AWS D1.1. I understand that it is permissible to use undermatching filler metal if the engineer agrees to it or if it is acceptable for the application. However...

    Thickness in welding.

    Hi everybody, I would like to hear your opinion on the influence of thickness in welding and why it's so important. I know that it can affect the cooling rate, for example in carbon steels and low alloy steels. When the thickness is increased, it's more probable that welding generates harder...

    Nitronic 50 (austenitic stainless steel) welding

    Hello everybody, I have some questions regarding Nitronic 50 welding. I conducted some tests using the GMAW and SMAW process with ER209 as the recommended filler metal for welding Nitronic 50 to achieve similar mechanical properties. However, the impact properties of the weld metal are low...
