WELD PASS [5 records]

Record 1 2011-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Joining Processes (Metals)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

Incomplete fusion between passes in a multiple pass weld is often caused by welding over a previous weld bead that has excessive convexity. If an excessively convex weld bead is created, the surface should be ground off enough so that complete fusion can be made with the next pass.

OBS

excessive convexity: term standardized by the CSA International.

excessive convexity: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

Record 2 2010-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
DEF

A defect triggered in the root pass of a weld in the immediate neighbourhood of the contact zone, and which spreads radially between the grains when under stress in service.

OBS

[Delayed re-heat cracking] only occurs with certain materials such as 321 type stainless steel, as it is caused by hardening of the steel due to fine precipitations of titanium carbide inside the crystalline structure. The hardening causes the plastic deformation capacity to be transferred to the periphery of the grains. For this to happen, the following conditions have to be met: a high operating temperature ([higher than] 475°C for 321 steel), a geometrical discontinuity at the weld root, strain hardening at the weld root showing significant shrinkage, heavy local load, which may be due to welding stresses, a defect in the weld root (e.g. a small shrinkage crack).

Record 3 2008-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

Perform a tee weld, using filler rod, in the flat position, on 14 and 16 gauge mild steel. Use two pieces -- one 50 mm (2") x 75 mm (3"), and one 25 mm (1") x 75 mm (3").

CONT

To weld tee joints in the vertical position, start the joint at the bottom and weld upward. Move the electrode in a triangular weaving motion... When more than one pass is necessary to make a tee weld, you may use either of the weaving motions shown in figure 7-37, views C and D. A slight pause at the end of the weave will ensure fusion without undercutting the edges of the plates.

OBS

The fillet weld (pronounced "FILL-it," not "fil-LAY") is used to make lap joints, corner joints, and T joints.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
OBS

Une soudure d'angle est une soudure dont la section transversale est approximativement triangulaire et qui est déposée à la surface des plats assemblés. [...] Selon la position relative des pièces à assembler, trois types de dispositions des soudures d'angle peuvent être envisagés [...] : - assemblage à recouvrement dans lequel les pièces à souder se trouvent dans des plans parallèles [soudure à recouvrement ou à clin]; - assemblage cruciforme ou en T dans lequel les pièces à souder sont plus ou moins perpendiculaires l'une par rapport à l'autre [soudure en té, soudure en angle simple ou double]; - assemblage d'angle dans lequel les pièces sont plus ou moins perpendiculaires l'une par rapport à l'autre [soudure d'angle avec ou sans chanfrein].
