Title: COMPARISON OF AIR AND DEUTERIUM ON PINCH WELD BOND APPEARANCE

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/891766· OSTI ID:891766

The effect that air and deuterium internal atmospheres have on the pinch weld bond quality was evaluated by conducting a scoping study using type 304L stainless steel LF-7 test stems that were fabricated for an associated study. Welds were made under cool, yet nominal conditions to exacerbate the influence of the atmosphere. The bond quality of the welds was directly related to the internal atmosphere with the air atmosphere welds being of lower quality than the deuterium atmosphere welds for nominally identical welding conditions.
