How does extra CO2 affect the GMAW process?
Specifically switching to 75%-25% Ar & CO2 from 92%-8% Ar & CO2.
This question also appears in "Welding, Bonding and Fastener engineering" group but I think this group may have some insight as well.
Thanks for the input.
We aren't making autobody panels so there are no convoluted designs to stamp. We will be designing panels that will sit on roof tops but the client has specified that the panels should be hail resistant. The shapes will be built up from rectangles and triangles.
Is there a minimum gauge thickness that can be relied upon to resist denting by hail. I am thinking about 1" diameter as a maximum.
I searched but most posts are requests for advice on how to fix the dent after it happens. Others are about the Romans ("Hail Caesar").
We have been requested to flame cut an odd shape from a 4" thick 4145 plate for subsequent machining. What are the preheat and post heat requirements for this kind of operation?

Thanks Hg.
For the others, I don't have copies of ASTM A563 nor B1.1 hence the posting. This is an unusual case for our company so there will be no added value in buying the relevant standards.

We may be threading A36 bar, 5/8", 3/4" and 1" diameter which will then be hot dip galvanized.
How much extra thread depth do I need for the galvanizing? We will be using a "Rigid 532" pipe threader with UNC dies.
Is there a standard for this?

The application is to isolate a stainless pipe from an Anvil (Grinnell) figure number 212 carbon steel clamp to prevent galvanic action.
All the data I have comes from the standard pipe support drawing for a particular pipe shoe. The physical application is very common for us to see, the...
Thanks for you prompt reply. At least I understand why no elastomers are available.
Further investigation has lead me to believe I can offer a woven fiberglass fabric.
The only other condition the material needs to satisfy is the seperation of different metals to avoid galvanic action.

We are a structural shop so we aren't familiar with the ASME P numbers.
The plate noted above is the Canadian equivalent of 44W carbon steel plate. Does that fit into the P1 category?
There is no deformation in this case.

We have been asked to supply a lift lug for pipe made from CSA-G40.21-300W plate.
A note on the drawing states "All materials must comply with NACE MR01013"
Can anyone tell me if there is a conflict between the plate material and the NACE specification?

I was just reviewing my recommended bend radii chart for dual certified 1/2" A36/44W plate.
The values for the 2 different grades are not the same, what is acceptable practice for dual certified plates.

How can I create a new layer from the command line without the dialog window opening.
Can I simply type "Layer Newlayername" (I know this doesn't work, what does?).

What affect does rolling normalized 516-70 plate have on the grain structure. Will this practice defeat the purpose of normalization.
The case in point is rolling 1" thick plate to an ID of 36" to create a wear pad for a pipe (AKA pipe saddles or repads). The finished wear pad would have an arc...
Thanks Yogi but your code truncates small numbers at the decimal point. The number 2.154 put into your formula for 3 significant digits is returning 2. Anything smaller than 1 returns 0.
This is the function which I got from the old thread.

I just read through thread 770-39236. At the end an all encompassing solution is presented except I found a hitch I'm hoping someone can solve.
When using the final function complete with the formatting instructions given the significant digits are no longer presented correctly.
