Abstract
The paper consist of design of a circumferential lug analytically using ASME Section II Part-d for Material properties and ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The configurations of the lug and the necessity of their configuration, the materials that can be
used and supporting computational results are included. Since the divisions of boilers cannot be kept in ground to avoid irregular
expansion. Lug should be perfect in width and thickness so that it will not leave the header from structure as well as lug should
not tear the circumferential material. Hence the analytical Lug which is designed with the formulas proposed is analysed in
software computationally and it is verified with stress intensity, von misses stress and also with different kind of principle stress
namely first second and third. The plots namely Lug Span Factor, Header Unit Hoop Stress, Stress Ratio for W/D , Reduction
Slope, Reduction applied to Lug Width Ratio (SR ) are also derived and plotted for future use.

Abstract Friction welding (FW) is a process of solid state joining which is extensively used in present scenario due to most economical, high productive, ease of manufacture and environment friendliness. Friction welding can be used to join different types of Ferrous, Non Ferrous metals and its combinations that cannot be welded by traditional fusion welding process. It is widely used in aerospace and automotive industrial applications. This process employs a machine which converts mechanical energy into heat at the joint to weld using relative movement between work pieces without external heat energy. The process parameters such as Rotational speed, Friction pressure, Friction time, Forge Pressure play major role in determining the high tensile strength of the weld for alloyed material i.e. Cu Zn28 Pb2.Taguchi Method is applied for optimizing the welding parameters to attain maximum tensile strength of the joint and microstructure of the welded joint, base material and heat affected zone is studied with good structure without any defects.

Computer simulation is used to predict the residual stresses and distortion of a full-float truck axle that has been
induction scan hardened. Flux2D® is used to model the electromagnetic behavior and the power distributions inside
the axle in terms of time. The power distributions are imported and mapped into DANTE® model for thermal, phase
transformation and stress analysis. The truck axle has three main geometrical regions: the flange/fillet, the shaft, and the spline. Both induction heating and spray quenching processes have significant effect on the quenching results:
distortion and residual stress distributions. In this study, the effects of spray quenching severity on residual stresses and distortion are investigated using modeling. The spray quenching rate can be adjusted by spray nozzle design, ratio of polymer solution and quenchant flow rate. Different quenching rates are modeled by assigning different heat transfer coefficients as thermal boundary conditions during spray quenching.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract
Alloy steel materials are predominantly used in the manufacturing of headers in thermal power plant boilers. Generally the hand
hole pipe and dish end component are provided in the header for the inspecting the inner surface of the header. Conventionally
the welding of dish end with hand hole pipe of the header is carried out using manual GTAW welding process for root pass and
manual SAW welding process for filler passes which is a time consuming process. Thus it is substituted with a semi-automatic
welding process i.e., STT- root pass followed by the pulsed GMAW for filler passes through a newly designed welding positioner.
This semi-automatic welding process optimizes the cycle time and increases the productivity rate. Also the new welding process –
STT and P-GMAW is established by following optimization technique of Taguchi’s orthogonal array method and ensuring the
weld quality performance through X-Radiography, mechanical tests impact test and hardness test.

1. INTRODUCTION
In a thermal power plant the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine
which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through
the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and
recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine
cycle. The important pressure parts of boiler include
headers, re heaters, super heaters, water wall panels, burner
panels. The headers are predominantly of the alloy steel
Gr.22 material.The headers are provided with hand hole and
dish end at one of its edge useful for maintenance of the
headers .The hand hole pipe with dish end over header is
shown in Figure.1
Fig. 1 Scheme showing hand hole with header
2. PROBLEM DEFINITION AND SOLUTION
Headers are used for the circulation of steam and water in
the boiler and play a vital role in the fluid transfer required
for the performance of the boiler through achieving high
thermal heat output required for expansion in the turbine.
Thus during maintenance of the header it is provided with a
hand hole at each header end covered with dish
end.Conventionally the welding of dish end to the hand hole
is done using a manual GTAW process for root pass and
manual SMAW welding process for filler pass which
involves a huge time of about 8 hours for the completion of
one number of hand hole to the dish end butt joint. Hence to
reduce this cycle time an alternative process that shall be
semi-automated is designed to optimize the cycle time and
increasing the productivity. Accordingly a new welding
positioner is designed as in the Figure.2 and the welding
processes suitable for semiautomatic operation are selected.
Hence root pass welding using STT welding process and
filler passes by Pulsed GMAW welding process is planned
for the semi-automatic welding process. The STT welding
process using low heat input is used for ensuring proper
toughness, mechanical properties and metallurgical
properties of the weldment root pass equivalent to GTAW
process. Also the quality of welding will be good equivalent
to the TIG root pass with reduced welding defects of lack of
fusion, incomplete penetration problem. Also the STT root
pass shall be followed by pulsed GMAW welding process
suitable for semi-automatic welding process.

2.1 STT Welding Process
STT process (Surface Tension Transfer). is successfully
used for performing of root passes at thick steam boilers
pipes and chambers. The specific of STT welding process is
application of impulse technique but with short arc metal
transfer in electric arc. That is something new in relationship
to other arc welding processes. The STT welding process is
suitable for welding of thin plates, also. It has very low heat
input what is interesting from residual stresses and
deformations reduction point of view.
STT (Surface Tension Transfer) welding process is modern,
high efficient and high quality welding process for thin wall
materials joining and joining at root passes of thick materials.
STT welding power source provide stabile main welding
parameters during welding process which enable welding by
“short circuit arc”. The material transfer in electric arc is
founded on surface tension force between weld pool and
melted bead in electric arc. STT unit frequently and precisely
controls welding current during welding. It sets an optimal
welding parameters (which are stabile) by significant
changing of arc length and “stick out”. Principally, it is
welding unit with possibility of welding parameters changing
in milliseconds in order to obtain an optimal quality of
welded joint. It is designed as a semiautomatic welding
process for application where welding speed and “stick out”
are variable. At STT welding process it is possible to use
different shielding gases and gases mixtures (CO2, Ar-
82%+CO2-18%, Ar-98%+CO2-2 %,...), depending on
application in praxis. Welding processes suitable for
individual pipes joining and pipes joining in pipes systems
(membrane wall, membrane panel) are interesting in steam
boiler production which is a specific type of production due
to different material types, thickness, diameters, weld joint
shapes, Conventional approach for pipes joining in steam
boiler industry up to ø 88 mm is manual or automatic TIG
welding process (Tungsten Inert Gas) as a single bead or
multi bead process. For joining higher diameter pipes in
steam boiler industry, combination of welding processes TIG
+ SMAW (Shielding Metal Arc Welding) or TIG + SMAW
+ SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) is usually used,
depending on available equipment. Manual TIG welding
process is used for root passes which are the most important
and the most complex from the standpoint of weld ability
(welding in non-accessible areas, denivelation in that joint
area is the most evident, gap in weld joint root must be in
rigid tolerance, preheating and gas shielding from root joint
pipe side aggravate welding). STT welding process is
process which will replace manual TIG welding process in
described situation.
Fig. 3 Distribution of welding parameters in STT welding
process
STT welding process has some differences regarding to other
fusion arc welding processes: performing of welding process
is in cycles, valid welding parameters set up on power source
display assure stability of electric arc and the whole welding
process as a repeatability of welding process and welding
current is changing in milliseconds, depending of process arc
voltage sensing. Distribution of welding current and voltage
in electric arc during the STT welding process is shown in
fig. 3.
Main advantages of STT welding process application are:
- high welding speed and higher productivity in
relationship to other fusion welding processes,
- especially regarding to TIG welding process,
- lower heat input (J/mm2
) in relationship to TIG
welding process,
- possibility of dissimilar materials joining,
- decreasing of cold taps possibilities,
- lower number of weld stops and due to this lower
possibilities of failures,
- satisfactory welding pool control during the welding,
- lower spattering and shorter cleaning of welding
joint,
- possibility of different shielding gases and gases
mixture application (CO2, Ar-82%+CO2-18%, Ar-
98%+CO2-2%)
- satisfactory corrosion resistance
- lower heat and light emission,
- Acceptable welding conditions for welders, etc.

Welding (SMAW) process has been established. However,
the necessity of applying the conventional GMAW process
in short and spray modes of metal transfer in welding of root
and filler passes respectively has led to high spatter, burn
through and large amount of metal deposition. Control of the
adverse influence of conventional GMAW on required weld
joint quality has been successfully addressed by application
of surface tension transfer (STT) for root pass followed by
pulsed current GMAW (P-GMAW) process for filler passes.
In order to increase the productivity with desired weld joint
quality, the semi- automatic welding positioner is used. Prior
to its application the suitability and effectiveness of the
positioner with respect to speed control and GMAW torch
head manipulation in groove was tested. After that, by using
the positioner, full GMAW technology for hand-hole pipe
butt welding were established. The quality of weld joints has
been checked and analyzed by 100% X-ray radiography.
Further, to qualify the joint, conventional mechanical and
metallurgical properties have been studied. Based on the
results, the welding protocol was checked with reference to
ASME section IX.
Total number of weld pass (including root pass) and time
required for preparation of one weld joint is 10 and 30
minutes respectively. The details are given in Table 1. Thus
comparatively the new STT welding cum GMAW process is
10 times faster than the conventional GTAW cum SAW
process

The welding was carried out by multi-pass GMA welding
process. During welding the pipes were held horizontally
with the help of three jaws clamping system in a rotating
table and the welding was carried out in 1GR position as
shown in Fig. 6(a). The photographic view of the
experimental setup is shown in Fig. 6(b). The root pass was
carried out by wave form controlled GMAW, commonly
referred as surface tension transfer (STT) process followed
by pulsed current GMAW process. After each weld pass
visual testing checked the appearance of the weld deposit.
During welding all the parameters were recorded with the
help of digital controlled meter fitted with the welding
power source.

4. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT
For selecting the optimum parameter for welding of hand
hole pipe, Taguchi’s orthogonal array has been selected with
4 factors and 3 levels. The 4 factors are namely, Wire feed
rate or current, Voltage, travel speed and stick out. Then 3
levels of parameters were selected. The design produced 9
runs and all the 9 runs were repeated thrice to get identical
value. From output, properties like bead width, bead height
and penetration was calculated. Based on the necessary
penetration, bead width and bead height the parameters were
selected. The L9 orthogonal array is shown in Table. 3

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
5.1 Testing of Welding
5.1.1 X-Ray Radiography
The specifications for X-ray radiography were prepared as
per ASME section V. The weld joints were fully (100%)
tested by X-ray radiography. The total circular path of the
weld was divided in two or three sectors of film placement
for X-ray radiography as shown schematically in Fig. 7. The
shooting and marking procedures of the X-ray radiography
have been shown in Fig. 8. The weld defects revealed in the
X-ray film were analyzed and correspondingly marked in
proper location of the pipe welds. The location of defects
was marked in reference to the starting sector of the path.
The defect analysis of the pipe welds, revealed in X-ray
radiograph, has been recorded. The radiographs depicts that
the defects primarily exist in the welds as lack of fusion,
incomplete penetration and porosity.

6.1.2 Studies on Mechanical Properties
The axial tensile property of the weld joints prepared by full
GMAW procedure is done. It is observed that, fracture
occurred in base metal as shown clearly in the Fig. 14. The
side root and face bend results of the weld joints prepared by
full GMAW procedure are as also shown in Fig. 15. It is
observed that, after bending the specimens are not showing
any open discontinuity or cracks. Thus, it infers that the
weld joints prepared by full GMAW procedure showed
good formability such a behavior as shown clearly in the
Fig.16.

end welding process is optimized by the newly designed
semi-automatic welding positioner .It is concluded that by
using STT + pulsed GMAW technology through the newly
designed semi-automatic welding positioner, optimizes the
welding cycle time and the productivity is improved ten
times faster than the existing method
