    Study Notes

    Problem-Solving Misconception

    • A common misconception is that a single, definitive approach is universally effective for all problem-solving scenarios.

    Underestimated Factor in Decision-Making

    • The impact of emotional factors on decision-making is frequently underestimated.

    Barrier to Goal Achievement

    • A major barrier cited is a lack of effective planning and strategy development.

    Unconsidered Approach to Personal Growth

    • Reflecting on past failures and setbacks is often overlooked when evaluating personal growth.

    Una acknowledged Factor in Teamwork

    • Effective communication is often underappreciated as a crucial factor for successful teamwork.

    Fusion Welding

    • Equiaxed grain structure is the preferred grain structure for good mechanical properties in weld metal.
    • Oxidising flame used in gas welding burns at a higher temperature than a carburising flame.
    • Gas welding has a lower power density compared to arc welding, resulting in a larger HAZ.
    • Overhead welding is considered the most difficult welding position.
    • The coating factor in SMAW electrodes refers to the ratio of the electrode's diameter to the core wire diameter.
    • Excessive heat generation can damage the electrode coating in SMAW, limiting the maximum welding current.
    • DCEN polarity in TIG welding increases heat generation at the electrode and improves arc stability.
    • AC polarity in GTAW welding is used for aluminium welding because it provides lower heat generation on the electrode side and cleaning action.
    • Coated Tungsten electrodes offer increased current carrying capacity compared to pure Tungsten electrodes.
    • Precipitation-hardened metal systems are affected by coarsening of precipitates in the HAZ during fusion welding.
    • Dissolution of precipitates results in an increase in hardness in transformation-hardened metals like steel during the HAZ.
    • The primary requirement for precipitation hardening is that the solubility of alloying elements decreases with an increase in temperature.
    • The size of the HAZ is directly related to welding voltage, welding current, and welding speed.

    Solidification of Weld Metals

    • Weld metal solidification occurs due to heat loss from the liquid weld metal to the solid state.
    • Nucleation and growth are the mechanisms of weld metal solidification in similar metal fusion welding.
    • Tear drop shape weld pools are observed when welding is performed at very high speed.

    Mechanical Properties of Materials

    • Higher carbon percentage in steel results in increased strength, reduced ductility, and reduced toughness.
    • The hardness of different phases decreases in the following order: Martensite > Fine grain pearlite > Ferrite.
    • Finer grain size at the grain boundary and the weld centre provides higher strength.
    • Wetting issues in fusion welding are caused by dispersion strengthening metals.
    • Austenitic steel components offer good cavitation resistance because of their high hardness.
    • Transformation hardening metals like alloy steel achieve strength in the weld metal mainly due to the transformation of soft phase into a hard phase.

    Plastic Deformation and Welding

    • Plastic deformation welding offers a narrow HAZ, higher strength, and favourable grain structure compared to fusion welding.
    • Electron beam welding produces the narrowest HAZ for a given plate thickness.
    • During dissimilar welding of ferritic steel and austenitic stainless steel, carbon migration depletes carbon on the ASS side and enriches it on the ferritic side.
    • Good weldability is achieved when the ductile to brittle transition temperature is below the room temperature.
    • Hydrogen-induced cracking is not a significant issue in the fusion joining of low carbon steel.
    • GTAW is less prone to hydrogen-induced cracking compared to other welding processes.
    • Sulphur improves the machinability of steel.
    • The carbon equivalent of steel increases with the increase in manganese and silicon percentages, which are dependent on the carbon percentage.
    • Free machining steel is produced by the addition of phosphorus, sulfur, lead, or a combination of these elements.
    • Killed steel has the lowest oxygen content.

    Gas Porosity and Weldability

    • Rimmed steel is prone to gas porosity when welded with a high heat input.
    • Matching fillers are often used in butt weld joints to compensate for contraction strain.
    • High carbon steel without pre-heating can lead to martensite formation in the weld zone, lower cracking tendency, and ferrite formation in the HAZ.
    • Stress-relieving treatment on steel is conducted above the lower critical temperature to relieve stress.
    • Electro slag welding Electro gas welding, and submerged arc welding do not require pre-heating for HSLA steel.
    • HSLA steel is more susceptible to hydrogen-induced cracking than other types of steel.
    • Increased manganese to sulfur ratio helps reduce solidification cracking tendency, improve weld joint strength, and improve weldability.
    • Soft phases in weldments and HAZ help avoid cracking tendency and develop compressive residual stress.
    • HSLA steel welding can lead to residual stress formation, hydrogen-induced cracking, and embrittlement due to the conversion of austenite into martensite.
    • Pre-heating of HSLA steel avoids the formation of martensitic and bainitic structures, and reduces residual stress.

    Welding of Thick Plates

    • Higher plate thickness and carbon equivalent require higher pre-heat temperatures to prevent cracking during welding.
    • Embrittlement of Cr-Mo steel weldments and HAZ can lead to cracking and reduced toughness.
    • Sensitization in Cr-Mo steel weld joints occurs due to the formation of Chromium carbide.
    • Galvanised steel is coated with zinc.
    • Resistance welding requires higher current for aluminized steel compared to bare steel.
    • Hot dipping is a common method for applying thick coatings on galvanized steel.
    • Stainless steel contains greater than 12% chromium.
    • Austenite is a phase stabilized by chromium.
    • Slow cooling rates during welding of martensitic stainless steel with high carbon and low chromium content can lead to reduced toughness, reduced cracking tendency, and lower residual stress.
    • Aluminized steel with aluminium and 8% silicon offers improved corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and formability compared to pure aluminium-coated steel.
