| description | Welding is the process of coalescence of two metals/alloys for creating a seamless joint, is a quintessential fabrication
process utilised in almost every manufacturing sector. There is a range of welding processes that are used according to their
features and the requirement of the fabricator. The tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process is an extensively used welding
process owing to its inherent characteristics like high weld quality, surface cleanliness, and autogenous welding mode.
Unfortunately, the TIG process suffers some drawbacks, the most pronounced one is the shallow weld bead and low depth
of penetration (DOP). This renders the process unusable for welding thicker sections in a single pass and consequently
requires multiple passes which adds to the expenditure. A modification to this process is the A-TIG welding where A stands
for Activated, the method utilises activating flux material to augment the penetration depth and depth to width ratio (DWR)
of the weld bead. The current work is comprehensive and focuses mainly on the basics of the A-TIG process, understanding
of weld pool dynamics that are governing the depth of penetration, analysis of various flux materials for their effects on
different metals/alloys and finally the outcomes fetched from using A-TIG process on different commercially important
alloys. |
