Time Dependant Weld Shape in Ar-O2 Shielded Stationary GTA Welding

The stationary gas tungsten arc welding （GTA） is carried out on SUS304 stainless steel under Ar-0.1%O2 and Ar-0.3%O2 mixed shielding to observe the evolution of the molten pool and investigate the role of Marangoni convection on the weld shape. After welding, the oxygen content in the weld metal was measured by using an oxygen/nitrogen analyzer. Small addition of oxygen to the argon based shielding gas can effectively adjust the weld pool oxygen content. Oxygen plays an important role as an surface active element in determining the pattern of Marangoni convection in the stainless steel weld pool. When the weld metal oxygen content is over the critical value, 0.01 wt pct, corresponding to the Ar-0.3%O2 mixed shielding gas, the Marangoni convection changes from outward to inward direction and the weld shape dramatically changes from wide shallow shape to narrow deep shape.     

Weld Shape Variation and Electrode Oxidation Behavior under Ar-(Ar-CO_2) Double Shielded GTA Welding

Double shielded gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW, also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding) of an SUS304 stainless steel with pure inert argon as the inner layer shielding and the Ar-CO₂ or CO₂ active gas as the out layer shielding was proposed in this study to investigate its effect on the tungsten electrode protection and the weld shape variation. The experimental results showed that the inner inert argon gas can successfully prevent the outer layer active gas from contacting and oxidizing the tungsten electrode during the welding process. Active gas, carbon dioxide, in the outer layer shielding is decomposed in the arc and dissolves in the liquid pool, which effectively adjusts the active element, oxygen, content in the weld metal. When the weld metal oxygen content is over 70×10^-6, the surface-tension induced Marangoni convection changes from outward into inward, and the weld shape varies from a wide shallow one to a narrow deep one. The effect of the inner layer gas flow rate on the weld bead morphology and the weld shape was investigated systematically. The results show that when the flow rate of the inner argon shielding gas is too low, the weld bead is easily oxidized and the weld shape is wide and shallow. A heavy continuous oxide layer on the liquid pool is a barrier to the liquid pool movement.     

Marangoni convection and weld shape variations in Ar–O2 and Ar–CO2 shielded GTA welding

Increasing the oxygen or the carbon dioxide concentration in the argon-based shielding gas leads to an increase in the weld metal oxygen content when the oxygen or carbon dioxide concentration is to be lower than 0.6 vol.% in the shielding gas. However, when the O₂ or CO₂ concentration is higher than 0.6 vol.% in the Ar-based shielding gas, the weld metal oxygen is maintained around 200 ppm–250 ppm. An inward Marangoni convection mode in the weld pool occurs when the weld metal oxygen content is more than 100 ppm. When it is lower than 100 ppm, the Marangoni convection would change to the outward direction and the weld shape varies from a deep narrow to a shallow wide shape. The effective ranges of O₂ and CO₂ concentrations for deep penetration are same. A heavy layer of oxides is formed when the O₂ or CO₂ concentration in the shielding gas is more than 0.6 vol.%. Based on the thermodynamic calculation of the equilibrium reactions of Fe, Si, Cr and Mn with oxygen in liquid iron for the oxide products, FeO, SiO₂, Cr₂O₃ and MnO and the experimental oxygen content in the weld metal, Cr₂O₃ and SiO₂ oxides are possibly formed at the periphery area of the liquid pool surface under the arc column during the welding process. One model is proposed to illustrate the role of the oxide layer on the Marangoni convection on the pool surface at elevated temperature. The heavy oxide layer inhibited the fluid flow induced by the Marangoni convection and also became a barrier for the oxygen absorption into the molten weld pool.     

Development of an advanced A-TIG (AA-TIG) welding method by control of Marangoni convection

A new type of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding has been developed, in which an ultra-deep penetration is obtained. In order to control the Marangoni convection induced by the surface tension gradient on the molten pool, He gas containing a small amount of oxidizing gas was used. The effect of the concentration of O₂ and CO₂ in the shielding gas on the weld shape was studied for the bead-on-plate TIG welding of SUS304 stainless under He–O₂ and He–CO₂ mixed shielding gases. Because oxygen is a surface active element for stainless steel, the addition of oxygen to the molten pool can control the Marangoni convection from the outward to inward direction on the liquid pool surface. When the oxygen content in the liquid pool is over a critical value, around 70 ppm, the weld shape suddenly changes from a wide shallow shape to a deep narrow shape due to the change in the direction of the Marangoni convection. Also, for He-based shielding gas, a high welding current will strengthen both the inward Marangoni convection on the pool surface and the inward electromagnetic convection in the liquid pool. Accordingly, at a welding speed of 0.75 mm/s, the welding current of 160 A and the electrode gap of 1 mm under the He–0.4%O₂ shielding, the depth/width ratio reaches 1.8, which is much larger for Ar–O₂ shielding gas (0.7). The effects of the welding parameters, such as welding speed and welding current were also systematically investigated. In addition, a double shielding gas method has been developed to prevent any consumption of the tungsten electrode.     

Effect of Welding Parameters on Dilution and Weld Bead Geometry in Cladding

The effect of pulsed gas metal arc welding （GMAW） variables on the dilution and weld bead geometry in cladding X65 pipeline steel with 316L stainless steel was studied. Using a full factorial method, a series of experiments were carried out to know the effect of wire feed rate, welding speed, distance between gas nozzle and plate, and the vertical angle of welding on dilution and weld bead geometry. The findings indicate that the dilution of weld metal and its dimension i.e. width, height and depth increase with the feed rate, but the contact angle of the bead decreases first and then increases. Meantime, welding speed has an opposite effect except for dilution. There is an interaction effect between welding parameters at the contact angle. The results also show forehand welding or decreasing electrode extension decrease the angle of contact. Finally, a mathematical model is contrived to highlight the relationship between welding variables with dilution and weld bead geometry.

Alignment under Magnetic Field of Mixed Fe2O3/SiO2 Colloidal Mesoporous Particles Induced by Shape Anisotropy

When using the bottom‐up approach with anisotropic building‐blocks, an important goal is to find simple methods to elaborate nanocomposite materials with a truly macroscopic anisotropy. Here, micrometer size colloidal mesoporous particles with a highly anisotropic rod‐like shape (aspect ratio ≈ 10) have been fabricated from silica (SiO₂) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). When dispersed in a solvent, these particles can be easily oriented using a magnetic field (≈200 mT). A macroscopic orientation of the particles is achieved, with their long axis parallel to the field, due to the shape anisotropy of the magnetic component of the particles. The iron oxide nanocrystals are confined inside the porosity and they form columns in the nanochannels. Two different polymorphs of Fe₂O₃ iron oxide have been stabilized, the superparamagnetic γ‐phase and the rarest multiferroic ε‐phase. The phase transformation between these two polymorphs occurs around 900 °C. Because growth occurs under confinement, a preferred crystallographic orientation of iron oxide is obtained, and structural relationships between the two polymorphs are revealed. These findings open completely new possibilities for the design of macroscopically oriented mesoporous nanocomposites, using such strongly anisotropic Fe₂O₃/silica particles. Moreover, in the case of the ε‐phase, nanocomposites with original anisotropic magnetic properties are in view.

Effect of Pulsed Current TIG Welding Parameters on Pitting Corrosion Behaviour of AA6061 Aluminium Alloy

Medium strength aluminium alloy （Al-Mg-Si alloy） has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of light weight structures requiring a high strength-to weight ratio, such as transportable bridge girders, military vehicles, road tankers and railway transport systems. The preferred welding process for aluminium alloy is frequently TIG （tungsten inert gas） welding due to its comparatively easier applicability and better economy.In the case of single pass TIG welding of thinner section of this alloy, the pulsed current has been found beneficial due to its advantages over the conventional continuous current process. The use of pulsed current parameters has been found to improve the mechanical properties of the welds compared to those of continuous current welds of this alloy due to grain refinement occurring in the fusion zone. A mathematical model has been developed to predict pitting corrosion potential of pulsed current TIG welded AA6061 aluminium alloy.Factorial experimental design has been used to optimize the experimental conditions. Analysis of variance technique has been used to find out the significant pulsed current parameters. Regression analysis has been used to develop the model. Using the developed model pitting corrosion potential values have been estimated for different combinations of pulsed current parameters and the results are analyzed in detail.

Effect of Microstructure on Electrorheological Property for Pure TiO2 Particle Material

Pure titanium dioxide （TiO2） particle materials were prepared by hydrolyzing titanium tetrachloride （TiCl4）. The microstructures of these materials were determined by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, accelerated surface area and porosimetry apparatus （BET）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The TiO2 materials obtained by calcinations under different temperatures distinctly revealed different microstructures in crystal structure type, surface area, pore size, pore volume and grain size. The relationship between the microstructure of the TiO2 materials and their electrorheological （ER） activity was investigated. Anatase titania particles have better ER performance than rutile titania particles. Amorphous TiO2 materials display higher ER activity than the crystalline titania materials. A large pore volume can be more advantageous in improving the ER effect of a particle material.

Effect of Synthesis Parameters on the Formation of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8) Nanoparticles for CO2 Adsorption

Zeolitic imidazole frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) is a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the transition metal cations (Zn²⁺) linked by imidazolate anions forming tetrahedral frameworks in zeolite-like topologies. This article reports on the synthesis of ZIF-8 nanoparticles by varying the synthesis parameters at room temperature. The crystallization duration, molar ratios, and pH of the mixture solution were varied in order to study the effects of these parameters on the formation of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The structural and morphology transformation of the resultant particles were characterized using x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface analysis. The CO₂ adsorption characteristics of ZIF-8 nanoparticles were tested using CO₂ physisorption analysis. Mature structural evolution was observed for ZIF-8 synthesized at 60 and 1440 min, but insufficient crystallization was found for ZIF-8 synthesized at 5 min. Meanwhile, ZIF-8 nanoparticles synthesized under lower amount of methanol resulted in larger particle size and higher crystallinity. Poorly intergrown ZIF-8 nanoparticles were observed for samples synthesized using a mixture solution with pH 8.2. Although different particle sizes and relative crystallinities were obtained for the ZIF-8 samples, synthesis using different molar ratios of the mixture solution, insignificant variations of BET surface areas, and CO₂ adsorption capacities were found.     

Effect of N2O plasma treatment on the improvement of instability under light illumination for InGaZnO thin-film transistors

This paper investigates the impact of N₂O plasma treatment on the light-induced instability of InGaZnO thin film transistors with a SiO₂ passivation layer deposited by plasma-enhanced-chemical-vapor-deposition (PECVD). For the untreated device, because the deposition of the SiO₂ passivation layer by PECVD causes extra trap states, the anomalous subthreshold leakage current can be attributed to a lowering of the source side barrier due to trap-assisted photogenerated holes. In contrast, the N₂O plasma treatment applied to both the gate insulator and the active layer effectively suppresses the device instability under illumination. In order to clarify the influence of the N₂O plasma treatment, this study investigates a device with treatment of only the gate insulator. This device shows a slight decrease of light-induced subthreshold leakage current. This demonstrates that N₂O plasma treatment on IGZO active layer after its deposition is critical in preventing damage from the subsequent SiO₂ passivation deposition process. In addition, the instability of threshold voltage (V_T) under negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) is significantly improved by the N₂O plasma treatment. Furthermore, a different dark recovery rate follows NBIS for untreated and N₂O plasma-treated devices, indicating different hole-trapping levels exist in the energy band.
