MECHANIZED WELDING SYSTEM FOR THE OVERHEAD POSITION IN OFFSHORE STRUCTURAL FABRICATION

Earlier, the overhead fillet weld of offshore deck structures were carried out using either SMAW or FCAW-SS process for the plate to beam section of production deck modules. Recently, fabricators have started automation in many applications to improve productivity with consistent weld quality ensuring health & safety measures. In our article, manual welding/semi-automatic processes were used for plate to beam section were not efficient. So, there is requirement of.....

3D Printing of Tubular Connectors for Space Frame Structures

Abstract. In the construction industry, wire-based steel 3D printing (WBS-3DP) technology for structural parts has yet to be explored. As 3D printing becomes highly productive and cost-effective with the development of qualification standards, it opens a wide range of opportunities for the steel-based additive construction segment too. The major advantage of large-scale 3D printing techniques like wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is the ability to.......

ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS TO PREDICT WELD BEAD PROFILES OF ROBOTIC ARM GAS METAL ARC (GMA) WELDED BUTT JOINTS

Generally, the robotic arm Gas Metal Arc (GMA) welding process involves sophisticated sensing and control techniques applied to various process variables. This research work has been carried out to develop a response surface model to establish a relationship between process parameters and weld bead penetration in the robotic arm GMA welding process. To achieve the objectives, partial-penetration and single-pass welds were fabricated in 14 mm thick “Y” grooved modified......

ROLE OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION (NDE) FOR THE WELDING QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA) IN THE ENGINEERING INDUSTRIES

NDE - Non-destructive examination or Non-destructive evaluation plays a very significant role in almost all the Engineering industries (employing weld fabrication as a major manufacturing process) as a Quality Assurance - QA measure to ultimately cut down the Quality Cost and thus to enhance the profitability. Right from the raw material selection, all through the entire manufacturing cycle (including all the bought outs procurement) - components to assembly - and up to the final despatch stage of the engineering product, the role played by NDE is highly important. Infact, the professional design engineer uses the confidence provided based on NDE in order to reduce ‘factors of safety’ even though the added advantage thus ensured comes with additional cost element (by multiple NDE methods deployment for welding / manufacture). All the advancements happening in typical weld fabrication industries, viz, in steam boiler manufacturing industry.......
