In ship and offshore terminal construction, welded cross sections are thick and the number of welds very high. Consequently, there are two aspects of great importance; cost and heat input. Reduction in the welding operation time decreases the costs of the work force and avoids excessive heat, preventing distortion and other weld defects. The need to increase productivity while using a single wire in the GMAW process has led to the use of a high current and voltage to improve the melting rate. Unfortunately, this also increases the heat input. Innovative GMAW processes, mostly implemented for sheet plate sections, have shown significant reduction in heat input (Q), low distortion and increase in welding speed. The aim of this study is to investigate adaptive pulsed GMAW processes and assess relevant applications in the high power range, considering possible benefits when welding thicker sections and high yield strength steel. The study experimentally tests the usability of adaptive welding processes and evaluates their effects on weld properties, penetration and shapes of the weld bead.The study first briefly reviews adaptive GMAW to evaluate different approaches and their applications and to identify benefits in adaptive pulsed. Experiments are then performed using Synergic Pulsed GMAW, WiseFusionTM and Synergic GMAW processes to weld a T-joint in a horizontal position (PB). The air gap between the parts ranges from 0 to 2.5 mm. The base materials are structural steel grade S355MC and filler material G3Si1. The experiment investigates heat input, mechanical properties and microstructure of the welded joint. Analysis of the literature reveals that different approaches have been suggested using advanced digital power sources with accurate waveform, current, voltage, and feedback control. In addition, studies have clearly indicated the efficiency of lower energy welding processes. Interest in the high power range is growing and a number of different approaches have been suggested. The welding experiments in this study reveal a significant reduction of heat input and a weld microstructure with the presence of acicular ferrite (AF) beneficial for resistance to crack propagation. The WiseFusion bead had higher dilution, due to the weld bead shape, and low defects. Adaptive pulse GMAW processes can be a favoured choice when welding structures with many welded joints. The total heat reduction mitigates residual stresses and the bead shape allows a higher amperage limit. The stability of the arc during the process is virtually spatter free and allows an increase in welding speed.

The industry's interest in having a greater control of the deformations caused by welding is due to the geometric and dimensional tolerances been more and more precise in the project specifications, motivating the manufacturing engineering to develop stable processes and to ensure routine production. Aiming at it, the main goal of this present work is to analyze how much routine situations used in automatic aluminum welding can influence on the angular deformations of this material. Using the alloy AA 5052 H34, and the automatic welding in pulsed GMAW process, three types of weaving were applied throughout the length of the weld, in butt joints assembled without groove and with 60 degrees single-V-groove, arranged transversely as well as longitudinally to the rolling direction of the plate. The measurement of the deformations was made by a three-dimensional equipment, before and after the welding, in three distinct regions in the specimens. The profile of the weld bead was the main factor for the different types of deformations found, as revealed by macrographical analysis. The 60 degrees single-V-groove had higher amplitudes of deformations as the joint without groove. The torch oscillation wasn't a variable of statistically significant influence on this amplitudes.

Nesse trabalho estudou-se a viabilidade operacional e as características econômicas e geométrica da técnica do processo de soldagem GMAW-CW (alimentação adicional de um arame frio) em comparação Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). O sistema de alimentação de arame frio foi projetado e adaptado a pistola de soldagem MIG/MAG. Utilizou-se uma fonte eletrônica de múltiplos processos ajustada em tensão constante e CC+, a proteção gasosa foi uma mistura 75%Ar+25%CO2 e CO2 comercialmente puro. O arame utilizado foi o da classe ER70S-6 com diametro de 1,2 mm para o arame eletrodo e 1,0 mm para o arame frio, os dois arames foram alimentados em cabeçotes independentes. As variáveis operacionais de entrada foram: a velocidade de alimentação de arame energizado, em três níveis, 4, 6 e 8 m/min e a velocidade de alimentação do arame frio em 50%, 60% e 70% da velocidade de alimentação do arame energizado. As soldagens foram automatizadas em simples deposição no sentido empurrando e o posicionamento do arame frio, em um único nível, Tandem em chanfro em “U” de chapas de aço ASTM 1020. As variáveis de resposta utilizadas foram: inspeção superficial dos cordões; análise da geometria (largura, penetração, reforço e diluição) da solda e econômicas (taxa de fusão, taxa de deposição, rendimento e custo operacional). Os resultados indicaram que para a análise superficial, com o uso do gás Ar25%CO2 a superfície dos cordões mostraram-se mais homogêneas em relação ao CO2 e com menor índice de salpicagem, para a análise das características econômicas, o processo GMAW-CW sempre foi superior ao processo convencional, quanto aos custos operacionais o processo convencional mostrou-se menor, porém não houve o preenchimento do chanfro, o que ocorreu com a utilização do processo GMAW-CW.

El magnesio y sus aleaciones representan un interesante campo de investigación dentro de la ingeniería de materiales debido a los retos que plantean tanto su conformabilidad como durabilidad. Las características físicas y mecánicas del magnesio y sus aleaciones los convierten en materiales de gran interés desde el punto de vista industrial al tratarse de uno de los materiales más abundantes y ligeros en un mundo en el que día a día los recursos y materias primas son más escasos por lo que el acceso a materiales abundantes y ligeros que permitan economizar el uso de energía cobrará mayor importancia en el futuro. En la coyuntura actual es por tanto necesario revisar procesos y procedimientos, investigando y tratando de ampliar desde este punto de vista si es posible mejorar los procedimientos de fabricación de los materiales disponibles actualmente o el desarrollo de nuevos, mejores que los anteriores, que permitan ayudar a la sostenibilidad del planeta. El magnesio, pese a ser un material muy abundante y relativamente barato, presenta una serie de inconvenientes que limitan de manera muy seria su aplicación industrial, su alta reactividad en presencia de oxígeno y su mal comportamiento frente a la corrosión así como limitaciones en su conformabilidad han estado limitando su uso y aplicaciones, los investigaciones dentro del campo de la metalurgia física de este material y el desarrollo de nuevas aleaciones han permitido su empleo en múltiples aplicaciones dentro de la industria aeroespacial, militar, automovilística, electrónica, deportiva y médica. La motivación para esta tesis doctoral ha sido tratar de aportar más luz sobre el comportamiento de una de las aleaciones comerciales base magnesio más empleadas, la AZ31B, tratando de modelizar como le afectan los procesos de soldadura y estudiando desde un punto de vista experimental como se ve modificada su microestructura, su comportamiento mecánico y su resistencia frente a la corrosión. Aunque en un principio se pensó en el empleo de métodos electroquímicos para el estudio de la corrosión de estos materiales, rápidamente se decidió prescindir de su uso dada la dificultad observada tanto durante los trabajos de investigación de esta Tesis como los encontrados por otros investigadores. Mediante microdurezas se han caracterizado mecánicamente las soldaduras de aleación de magnesio tipo AZ31 en función de diferentes materiales de aporte, observándose que el empleo de las aleaciones con mayor contenido de aluminio y zinc no contribuye a una mejora significativa de las propiedades mecánicas. Se han podido establecer correlaciones entre los modelos de simulación desarrollados y las microestructuras resultantes de los procesos reales de soldadura que permiten definir a priori que estructuras se van a obtener. De igual forma ha sido posible completar un estudio micrográfico y químico completo de las diferentes fases y microconstituyentes originados durante los procesos de soldadura, gracias a estos resultados se ha propuesto como hipótesis una explicación que justifica el comportamiento frente a la corrosión de estas aleaciones una vez soldadas. Los ensayos de corrosión realizados han permitido determinar correlaciones matemáticas que indican las velocidades de corrosión esperables de este tipo de aleaciones. Desde el punto de vista del diseño, los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo permitirán a otros investigadores y diseñadores tomar decisiones a la hora de decidir qué materiales de aporte emplear junto con las implicaciones que conllevan desde el punto de vista metalúrgico, mecánico o corrosivo las diferentes alternativas. Por último indicar que gracias al trabajo desarrollado se han definido modelos matemáticos para predecir el comportamiento frente a la corrosión de estas aleaciones, se han determinado las posibles causas y mecanismos por las que se gobierna la corrosión en la soldadura de chapas de aleación AZ31B y los motivos por los que se debe considerar el empleo de un material de aporte u otro. Los modelos de simulación desarrollados también han ayudado a comprender mejor la microestructura resultante de los procesos de soldadura y se han determinado que fases y microconstituyentes están presentes en las soldaduras de estas aleaciones. ABSTRACT Magnesium and its alloys represent and interesting research field in the material science due to the challenges of their fabrication and durability. The physical and mechanical properties of magnesium and its alloys make them a very interesting materials from and industrial point of view being one of the most abundant and lightest materials in a world in which day by day the lacking of resources and raw materials is more important, the use of light materials which allow to save energy will become more important in a near future. So that it is necessary to review processes and procedures, investigating and trying to improve current fabrication procedures and developing new ones, better than the former ones, in order to help with the sustainability of the planet. Although magnesium is a very common and relatively cheap material, it shows some inconveniences which limit in a major way their industrial application; its high reactivity in presence of oxygen, its poor corrosion resistance and some manufacturing problems had been limiting their use and applications, metallurgical investigations about this material and the development of new alloys have allowed its use in multiple applications in the aerospacial, military, automobile, electronics, sports and medical industry. The motivation for this thesis has been trying to clarify the behavior of one most used commercial base magnesium alloys, the AZ31, trying to modeling how its affected by thermal cycles of the welding process and studying from an experimental point of view how its microstructure is modified and how these modifications affect its mechanical behavior and corrosion resistance. Although at the beginning of this works it was though about the using of electrochemical techniques to evaluate the corrosion of these materials, rapidly it was decided not to use them because of the difficulty observed by during this research and by other investigators. The results obtained in this thesis have allowed to characterize mechanically AZ31 magnesium welding alloys considering different filler metals, according to this study using filler metals with a high content of aluminum and zinc does not represent an important improve It has been possible to establish correlations between simulation models and the resultant microstructures of the real melting processes originated during welding processes which allow to predict the structures which will be obtained after the welding. In addition to that it is possible to complete a complete micrographic and chemical analysis of the different phases and microconstituents created during welding, due to these results and hypothesis to explain the corrosion behavior of these welded alloys. Corrosion tests carried out have allowed defining mathematical correlations to predict corrosion rates of this kind of alloys. From a designing point of view, the results obtained in this work will let other investigators and designers to make decisions taking into account which implications have the different options from a metallurgical, mechanic and corrosive point of view. Finally we would like to indicate that thanks to this work it has been possible to define mathematical models to predict the corrosion behavior, the causes and the mechanism of this corrosion in the AZ31 welding sheets have been also determined and the reasons for using of one filler metal or another, the developed simulation models have also help to get a better understanding of the result microstructure determining the phases and the microconstituents present in the welding of this alloys.

Welding is one of the most employed process for joining steel pipes. Although, manual welding is still the most used one, mechanized version and even automatized one have increased its demand. Thus, this work deals with girth welding of API 5L X65 pipes with 8” of nominal diameter and 8.0 mm thickness, beveled with V-30º narrow gap. Torch is moved by a bug carrier (mechanized welding) and further the parameters are controlled as a function of angular position (automatized welding). Welding parameters are presented for filling the joint with two-passes (root and filling/capping passes). Parameters for the root pass were extracted from previous author´s work with weldments carried out in plates, but validated in this work for pipe welding. GMAW processes were assessed with short-circuit metal transfer in both conventional and derivative modes using different technologies (RMD, STT and CMT). After the parameter determination, mechanical testing was performed for welding qualification (uniaxial tension, face and root bending, nick break, Charpy V-notch impact, microhardness and macrograph). The initially obtained results for RMD and CMT were acceptable for all testing and, in a second moment, also for the STT. However, weld beads carried out by using the conventional process failed and revealed the existence of lack of fusion, which required further parametrization. Thus, a Parameter-Variation System for Girth Welding (SVP) was designed and built to allow varying the welding parameters as a function of angular position by using an inclinometer. The parameters were set for each of the three angular positions (flat, vertical downhill and overhead). By using such equipment and approach, the conventional process with parameter variation allowed reducing the welding time for joint accomplishment of the order of 38% for the root pass and 30% for the filling/capping pass.

Na construção soldada, devido ao contínuo aumento dos custos envolvidos com a mão-de-obra e consumíveis, há cada vez mais necessidade, por parte das empresas e dos seus responsáveis, de se poder determinar, com o máximo rigor possível, qual a técnica mais adequada, com o menor custo associado. Ajustando convenientemente os parâmetros e consumíveis de soldadura ao trabalho a realizar, conseguem-se consideráveis reduções dos montantes envolvidos. A competitividade entre empresas é grande e, na maioria dos casos, a diminuição desses custos conduz a um maior sucesso comercial, traduzindo-se numa actualização e optimização dos recursos disponíveis. Teve-se como objectivo, comparando dois processos de soldadura semi-automática MAG (GMAW) e soldadura por fios fluxados (FCAW), determinar qual o mais vantajoso do ponto de vista económico-produtivo. No caso do presente trabalho, efectuaram-se diversos ensaios de soldadura, utilizando materiais nas qualidades e espessuras características da média/pesada construção metalomecânica. Recorreu-se aos processos de soldadura GMAW e FCAW, ou seja, empregando fio consumível sólido e fio consumível fluxado, protecção por gás activo de uma mistura de árgon e dióxido de carbono e efectuando uma soldadura de canto na posição ao baixo nos diversos ensaios através da técnica passe simples e passes múltiplos. Concluiu-se que quando se pretende utilizar técnicas de passe múltiplo onde uma elevada velocidade de soldadura é requerida, o processo FCAW é o mais indicado.

Työssä selvitettiin Fläkt Woods Groupin toimeksiannosta, onko kannattavaa vaihtaa ilmastointipuhaltimissa käytettävien puhallinpyörien valmistusmenetelmä MIG-hitsauksesta kaarijuottoon. Lappeenrannan teknillisessä korkeakoulussa suoritetuissa tutkimuksissa oli saavutettu noin 3-5 -kertainen liitosnopeus MIG-hitsaukseen verrattuna. Koska kaarijuotto voidaan tehdä tavallisella MIG-hitsauslaitteistolla, ei menetelmän käyttöönotto aiheuta merkittäviä lisäinvestointeja. Suurin kustannuserä onkin kaarijuotossa käytettävä alumiinipronssilanka, jonka hinta asetti kyseenalaiseksi menetelmän vaihtamisen. Käytännössä kaarijuotolla saavutettiin noin 2-kertainen liitosnopeus. Pääasialliset syyt, jotka aiheuttivat liitosnopeuden jäämisen pieneksi, liittyivät kaarijuoton suureen parametriherkkyyteen ja puhallinpyörän vaikeaan geometriaan. Tehdyt kokeet osoittivat, että puhallinpyöräkoon kasvaessa kaarijuotto onnistuu paremmin. Käyttämällä kaarijuottoa vain suurimpiin puhallinpyöriin päästäisiin myös hitsausta vastaaviin kannattavuuslukuihin, vaikka kapasiteettilisäys jäisi melko vaatimattomaksi. Tällöin myös teknisten ongelmien määrä jäisi mahdollisimman vähäiseksi. Osittainenkin kaarijuoton käyttöönotto olisi hyödyllistä, sillä näin saataisiin käyttökokemuksia ja tietämystä kaarijuoton käyttäytymisestä. Nämä tiedot ovat tärkeitä, mikäli kaarijuotto osoittautuu kannattavaksi esimerkiksi hitsauspituuden kasvaessa tai jos alumiinipronssilangan hinta laskee.

Diplomityön tavoitteena oli selvittää tandem-MAG-hitsausmenetelmän soveltuvuus isojen levylakanoiden valmistamiseen. Päätavoitteena oli selvittää suurimmat saavutettavat hitsausnopeudet sekä railonvalmistukselle asetettavat vaatimukset kahdella laivanrakennusteräksellä. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin omia hitsauskokeita ja liitokset testattiin luokitusseurojen vaatimusten mukaisesti. Selvitettiin myös syntyvät hitsausmuodonmuutokset sekä edut ja rajoitukset verrattuna laserhitsaukseen. Lisäksi laadittiin ei-synergiselle pulssihitsauslaitteistolle suuntaa-antava synergiakäyrä tätä sovellusta varten hitsauskokeiden perusteella. Tandem-MAG-hitsaus osoittautui erittäin kilpailukykyiseksi hitsausmenetelmäksi sovelluksessa. Magneettisen puhalluksen havaittiin olevan merkittävä häiriötekijä tällä menetelmällä hitsattaessa.
