Prediction of weld bead geometry of small-wire submerged arc welding in 1G position / Mohamad Faruqi Mohamed

Small-wire submerged arc welding is a welding process where the weld pool is submerged in granulates flux. It is different with the conventional SAW by the choice of filler wire which is 1.2mm. The most common problem encountered in small-wire SAW welding process is that the difficulty to determine...

Description
Summary:Small-wire submerged arc welding is a welding process where the weld pool is submerged in granulates flux. It is different with the conventional SAW by the choice of filler wire which is 1.2mm. The most common problem encountered in small-wire SAW welding process is that the difficulty to determine the correct welding parameter for desired output bead geometry. The common approach is selection by trial and error can lead to waste of time, cost and energy. Therefore, in order to solve the problem a system was developed which can predict the weld bead geometry.
