The Fundamentals of Gouging with Plasma
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2017, Vol 61, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to present the fundamental mechanics of gouging with plasma. While plasma gouging is not a new concept, little has been presented on subjects such as nomenclature, how the gouge is actually produced, and the relationships between process parameters. This paper seeks to present this information to help aid in gouging process design.

Characteristics of Fusion Welded and Friction Welded Joints Made in High-Carbon Nanobainitic Steels
Intense research on the metallurgy of iron alloys have recently resulted in the development of technologies enabling the making of high-carbon nanobainitic steels. Because of their chemical composition, the above-named s...
Evaluation of the Microstructure of 600 and 617 Nickel Alloys Subjected to Arc Welding
The paper presents the results concerning the assessment of the microstructure 600 and 617 nickel alloys. Test alloys delivered as plates were exposed to welding arc applied in the TIG method. The assessment involving th...
Analysis of Low-Amplitude Indications in Ultrasonic Tests of Thick-Walled MAG-Welded Butt Joints
The article presents an attempt at the clarification of low-amplitude indications, i.e. below the level of assessment, frequently detected in ultrasonic tests of welded joints. The above-named indications, non-evaluable...
Application of Multivariate Analysis Methods in Welding Engineering
Phenomena and processes taking place during welding are usually very complex and, for this reason, should be described using multivariate methods. The article discusses the methodological basis and selected application a...
