Effect of Pipe Butting Face Preparation on the Quality of Magnetically Impelled Arc Welded Joints
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2016, Vol 60, Issue 5
Abstract
The article presents magnetically impelled arc welding – a technology used when making butt joints mainly of elements having circular cross-sections. In addition, the articles indicates issues related to the preparation of pipe faces and its effect on the quality of welds. The research-related experiment involved the use of selected power transmission elements. The research also included the performance of visual, geometry, metallographic, functional and technological tests of the joints as well as the determination of critical imperfections disqualifying the use of welded joints.
