Heat transfer in welding process
- Heat input to the weld is from the energy source
- Heat is conducted away from the weld zone into the base metal
- Heat flow depends on thermal properties of base metal and weld metal
- Heat affected zone experiences thermal cycle due to heat input
- Rapid heating and cooling rates in welding leads to non-equilibrium
microstructures
- Control of heat input and cooling rate is important to control weld
metallurgy
In the modern world of industrialization the wear is eating metal assets worth millions of dollars per year. The wear is in the form of corrosion, erosion, abrasion etc. which occur in the process industries like oil & gas, refineries, cement plants, steel plants, shipping and offshore working structures. The equipments like pressure vessels, heat exchangers, hydro processing reactors which very often work at elevated temperatures face corrosion in the internal diameter.Hastelloy C-276weld overlay on ferrous material is developed for outstanding resistance to wide variety of chemical process environments such as ferric and cupric chlorides, hot contaminated mineral acids, solvents, chlorine and chlorine contained media, both inorganic and organic, dry chlorine, formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride, sea water and brine solutions.Selection of SMAW is for development of hastalloy C-276 material with SMAW process to use as a weld overlay process at non accessible area & where position is constraint which is not feasible by other processes like ESSC, FCAW, and SAW etc.

The Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) plays an important role during any welded construction activities ensuring the required specifications and standards are followed. Due to the numerous materials and processes associated with metal joining (welding) THIS PRESENTATION SHALL SHOW ONLY THE BASIC WELDING PROCESSES AND EXAMINATION METHODS (NDE). National and International Codes and Specifications along with measuring devices are the Inspector’s tools. Hopefully the following presentation shall give an insight into basic welding inspection.
The Technological advancements have driven up temperature and pressure serviced in the
petroleum, chemical, pulp, and environmental protection. Industries have increased the possibility of
severe corrosion and wear in process pressure vessels. The industries must upgrade the corrosion and
wear performance of these main important parts .Economic features as a rule will not allow fabricating
components from solid high alloyed materials. As a result it is essential to surface non-alloyed or low
alloy base materials with high-alloy cladding. The submerged arc welding(SAW) and electroslag welding
(ESW) process are appropriate for applying welded deposits over large surface areas by means of strip
electrodes .Both processes are using a granular flux material. A strip electrode, fed continuously, is
liquefied and fused to the substrate. In contrast with other processes it is very effective in spite of the
same equipments used but due to the wide strip used it procures a magnetic flow effect within to rectify it
a magnetic steering device is exercised. After the welding to examine the defects NDT's are carried upon it
Welding is a materials joining process which produces coalescence of material...KhaldoonHusseinHamza
It is used in the manufacture of automobile bodies,
aircraft frames, railway wagons, machine frames,
structural works, tanks, boilers, general repair work
and ship building.

OAW Torch
57
Example 1 - OAW
An oxyacetylene torch supplies 0.3 m3 of acetylene per
hour and an equal volume rate of oxygen for an OAW
operation on 4.5-mm-thick steel.
Heat generated by combustion is transferred to the work
surface with a heat transfer factor f1 = 0.20. If 75% of
the heat from the flame is concentrated in a circular
area on the work surface that is 9.0 mm in diameter,
find
(a) t f heat liberated during
( ) rate of h t lib t d d i combustion,
b ti
(b) rate of heat transferred to the work surface, and
(c) average power density in the circular area.
(Heat of combustion of Acetylene in O2 = 55×106 J/m3)
58
29
30. 9/4/2012
Example 1 - OAW
(a) The rate of heat generated by the torch is the product
of the volume rate of acetylene times the heat of
combustion: RH = (0 3 m3/hr) (55×106) J/m3 = 16 5×106
(0.3 ) 16.5×10
J/hr or 4583 J/s
(b) With a heat transfer factor f1 = 0.20, the rate of heat
received at the work surface is
f1 × RH = 0.20×4583 = 917 J/s
(c) The area of the circle in which 75% of the heat of the
flame is concentrated is A = Pi. (9)2/4 = 63.6 mm2
The power density in the circle is found by dividing the
available heat by the area of the circle:
Power density = 0.75 × 917/63.6 = 10.8 W/mm2 59
