Abstract

Aluminium is a material that is now widely used for welding because this material has good mechanical properties, is corrosion resistant, is light in weight and can be recycled. The problem that occurs in aluminium welding is the presence of a passive layer or layer of Al2O3 oxide which has a high affinity for oxygen. This oxide layer is also an insulator which can inhibit the flow of current in welding. The amount of current in the welding process greatly affects the amount of heat input, weld concentration and arc stress. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in the mechanical properties of tensile strength and hardness of welded metal joints with variations in welding current on aluminium Al-6061 using the TIG welding process. The stages of the research method carried out were to carry out the TIG welding process on aluminium material joints with variations in currents of 120A, 140A and 160A. The filler rods used were AWS A5.10/ER-5356 and argon gas with a flow volume of 15 l/m. Furthermore, the results of the weld are tested for tensile and hardness to determine changes in the mechanical properties of the weld joint. The results show that the magnitude of the welding current affects the strength of the welding joint in terms of mechanical properties, especially the value of the tensile strength and hardness of the material when receiving loads and also affects the strain or elongation of a material. The highest tensile strength value is at a current strength of 160A of 9.83 Kgf/mm2, while the lowest tensile strength value is welding using a current strength of 120A with a value of 9.73 Kgf/mm2. The most ductile or ductile welded joints are welding using a current of 120A. While the highest hardness value was in the 160A weld metal area of 95.17 HRE and the lowest was in the HAZ area of 160A current of 41.17 HRE

Abstract

Pengelasan merupakan ikatan metalurgi pada sambungan logam atau logam paduan yang dilakukan dalam keadaan lumer atau cair. Mengelas adalah suatu aktifitas menyambung dua bagian logam atau lebih dengan cara memanaskan atau menekan atau gabungan dari keduanya sedemikian rupa sehingga menyatu seperti benda utuh. Kekuatan sambungan pengelasan merupakan syarat dari sebuah konstruksi terutama di industri migas seperti pada instalasi perpipaan dan tanki bertekanan. Prosedur mengelas dan parameternya merupakan suatu hal yang sangat mempengaruhi kekuatan dari sambungan las. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kekuatan sambungan lap joint terhadap hasil pengelasan SMAW pada baja AISI 1050 dengan elektroda 7016.Variasi arus yang digunakan dalam proses pengelasan ini yaitu 100A, 125A dan 150A. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa arus pengelasan sangat mempengaruhi kekuatan sambungan las, hal ini dapat terlihat dari nilai kekuatan tegangan tarik dimana nilai tertinggi pada spesimen yang dilas dengan arus 100A sebesar 74.05 kgf/mm2, sedangkan untuk tegangan tarik terendah pada spesimen dengan arus pengelasan 150A dengan nilai tegangan tariknya sebesar 68.60 kgf/mm2. Hasil bentuk patahan setelah proses pengujian tensile test tidak terjadi pada daerah weld metal dan bentuk patahan yang terjadi dapat dikategorikan dalam bentuk patahan getas. AbstractWelding is a metallurgical bond in a metal or alloy metal connection which is done in a liquid state. Welding is an activity of joint two or more metal parts by heating or pressing or a combination of the two in such a way that they merge like whole objects. The strength of the welding joint is a prerequisite for a construction especially in the oil and gas industry such as in piping installations and pressurized tanks. The welding procedure and its parameters is a matter that greatly affects the strength of the welded joint. This study aims to determine the strength of the double lap joint to the SMAW welding results on AISI 1050 steel with 7016 electrodes. Current variations used in this welding process are 100A, 125A and 150A. The results showed that the welding current greatly affected the strength of the weld joint, this can be seen from the value of the tensile stress strength where the highest value in the specimens welded with a current of 100A was 74.05 kgf / mm2, while for the lowest tensile stress on the specimen with a welding current of 150A with a value of tensile stress of 68.60 kgf / mm2. The results of the fracture form after the tensile test does not occur in the weld metal area and the shape of the fracture that occurs can be categorized in the form of brittle fracture.

Abstract

Electrodes for the Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding process or welding electrodes are classified based on the type of coating which is informed by the last digit code of the electrode. Electrodes E7016 and E7018 are basic types of electrodes with a Low Hydrogen Potassium coating type which are widely used in welding heavy construction equipment and piping. This electrode has a minimum tensile value of 70 ksi (480 MPa) with a carbon content of 0.07% for E7018 and 0.08% for E7016. The difference in carbon content in the composition of the electrode will determine the hardness value of the resulting weld. In use in the field these two electrodes are often recommended and can even be exchanged according to the assumption that the minimum tensile value is relatively the same between the two electrodes. However, due to the difference in carbon content, it will affect the hardness of the weld (weld metal) after welding. Many studies have been carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the welded joints using these electrodes, but research on the specific mechanical properties of the welds of the two electrodes is very rarely carried out. The test method is carried out by making 2 test specimens each for currents of 80A, 100A, and 120A using E7016 and E7018 electrodes with a diameter of 3.2mm. The material used is SA.36. The hardness test was carried out using the Rockwell-C (HRC) method. The test results show that the hardness value of the basic low hydrogen potassium electrode E7018 has a higher hardness value than E7016 for the same current. At currents of 80A, 100A, and 120A, there was an increase in the hardness of the E7018 weld metal against E7016 by 2.0% each; 9.8%; and 6.7%. The highest hardness value is found at 80A of 42.3HRC for the E7018 electrode, and 41.5 HRC for the E7016 electrode. In E7016 the increase in current causes a decrease in hardness level of 8.2% from 80A to 100A; 12.3% from 100A to 120A. In E7018 the increase in current causes a 1.2% decrease in hardness from 80A to 100A; 14.7% from 100A to 120A

Abstract

The drilling process commonly employs API 5CT pipes, one type of which is API 5CT Casing Pipe Grade L80 Type-1. Long casing pipes are generally connected using the Threaded and Coupled (male-female) method. In certain conditions, welding is used for joining, and the combination welding process GTAW-SMAW is commonly employed in the field. The electrodes used are generally ER-70S-G (GTAW) and E7010-P1 (SMAW). The E7010-P1 electrode is difficult to obtain in the field. It is not only expensive but also scarce. Therefore, in some cases, construction contractors often substitute the E7010-P1 electrode with E7016, which is more readily available. This substitution is based on the consideration that both electrodes have similar tensile strength values (70ksi). This study aims to determine the mechanical properties of the joint process of API 5CT Casing Pipe Grade L80 Type-1 using E7016 electrodes and to evaluate the feasibility of substituting it for the E7010-P1 electrode. NDT testing was performed using a penetrant test, while DT testing was carried out using Vickers Hardness testing. The hardness test results showed that the highest average hardness value was found in the material using the E7016 electrode, which was 304 HVN, specifically in the weld metal area. Based on these results, E7016 can be recommended as a substitute for the E7010-P1 electrode.

Abstract

Welding copper and aluminium is a major challenge due to the differences in physical and metallurgical properties of the two materials. Copper has a much higher melting point than aluminium, making it difficult to achieve uniform fusion without overheating. In addition, copper's very high thermal conductivity causes rapid heat transfer, making it difficult to maintain optimal temperatures during welding. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of TIG welding current on the shear test value and hardness of aluminium-copper material. The stages of the research method began with welding variations in welding current and filler rod types. Furthermore, shear and hardness tests were carried out. Based on the results of the hardness test, the hardness value of the welded material was higher than the parent material. The hardness value of the weld metal was higher at a current of 130A compared to currents of 120A and 140A. While the optimal welding current for copper and aluminium joints in shear test testing using BCuP-2 filler rods is 130 A, where the highest shear strength is achieved

Abstract

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a metal joining process that utilizes heat energy to melt both the base metal and the electrode. This study aims to evaluate the effect of weld groove variations on the impact toughness and hardness of AISI 1050 steel. Three types of groove configurations were examined: V Groove, Bevel Groove, and Double V Groove. Tests were conducted in the regions of the Weld Metal, Weld Root, Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ), and Base Metal using a welding current of 100 Amperes. The test results show that the Bevel Groove produced the highest impact toughness at the Weld Root (1.78 Joule/mm²), the V Groove at the Weld Metal (1.65 Joule/mm²), and the Double V Groove at the HAZ (1.48 Joule/mm²). In terms of hardness, the V Groove and Double V Groove showed the highest values in the HAZ (86.5 HRC), while the Bevel Groove exhibited the highest hardness in the Base Metal (81 HRC). The lowest hardness value was found in the Weld Root of the Bevel Groove (56.67 HRC). Overall, the hardness values in the Weld Metal area for all three groove types were the same, measuring 76.5 HRC
