Abstract

A method is reported for inert arc welding. An a-c welding current is applied to the workpiece and welding electrode such that the positive portion of each cycle thereof, with the electrode positive, has only sufficient energy to clean the surface of the workpiece and the negative portion of each cycle thereof, with the electrode negative, contains the energy required to weld. (AEC)

THE IMPROVEMENT IN WELD SOUNDNESS BY THE USE OF HALOGENS AND HALIDES IN INERT GAS METAL ARC WELDING OF ALUMINUM. Phase Report No. 1 for August 1, 1954 to July 31, 1955 on THE WELDING OF HIGH STRENGTH ALUMINUM ALLOYS

DETERMINATION OF THE CAUSES OF WELD-METAL CRACKING IN HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT-TREATABLE LOW-ALLOY-STEEL FILLER WIRES FOR USE WITH THE INERT-GAS-SHIELDED ARC-WELDING PROCESS. Period covered: June 16, 1958 to July 30, 1959

Technical Report Mishler, H.W.; Monroe, R.E.; Rieppel, P.J.

The causes of weld-metal-cracking in SAE 4340 steel were investigated. The development of filler wires for producing welds heat treatable to ultimate- tensile-strength levels greater than 225,000 psi was studied. Freezingcycle hot- tension studies were made on various heats of SAE 4340 steel containing various sulfur and phosphorus contents. Results indicated that the combined sulfur and phosphorus contents of SAE 4340 steel should be kept below 0.025 wt.% to prevent weld-metal hot cracking. An intergranular phase believed to be associated with hot cracking was found during light and electron microscopy of highphosphorus SAE 4340 steels. This phase was tentatively identifiedmore »« less
WELD ALLOYING IMPROVEMENT WITH SQUARE TYPE CURRENT WAVES ON ALTERNATING- CURRENT TUNGSTEN-ARC INERT-GAS-SHIELDED WELDING

Technical Report Correy, T.B.

The improvement of fusion weld alloying with square type current waves in the closure weld of AlSi-bonded aluminum-clad uranium fuel elements was established. Alloying improved as the current wave shape changes from an asymmetrical 180 deg out-of-phase third-harmonic distorted sine wave toward a symmetrical square wave. It was demonstrated that there is a positive agreement between the ratio of the power pulse with the electrode positive to the power pulse with the electrode negative and the weld quality number showing that alloying in the weld improves as the current wave shape changes toward a square wave. It is shown thatmore »« less
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ARC WELDING

Patent Noland, R.A.; Stone, C.C.

An apparatus and method are given for forming a welding arc which is rotated by a magnetic field very rapidly about an annular electrode so that a weld is produced simultaneously over all points of an annular or closed path. This invention inhibits outgassing from the jacket of a fuel slug which is being welded by adjusting the pressure throughout the welding cycle to establish a balance between the gas pressure within the jacket and that of the atmosphere surrounding the jacket. Furthermore, an improved control of the magnetic field producing rotation of the welding arc is disclosed whereby thismore »« less
Control of Gas Tungsten Arc welding pool shape by trace element addition to the weld pool

Patent Heiple, C.R.; Burgardt, P.

An improved process for Gas Tungsten Arc welding maximizes the depth/width ratio of the weld pool by adding a sufficient amount of a surface active element to insure inward fluid flow, resulting in deep, narrow welds. The process is especially useful to eliminate variable weld penetration and shape in GTA welding of steels and stainless steels, particularly by using a sulfur-doped weld wire in a cold wire feed technique.
