Abstract

The use of welding technology in the manufacturing industry has become increasingly widespread due to its ability to enhance production effectiveness and efficiency. Stainless steel 304 is commonly used in industrial applications but is highly sensitive to weld-induced thermal expansion, making it prone to distortion. Such distortion is considered detrimental as it leads to deformation of the design, reduced dimensional accuracy, decreased mechanical strength, and increased costs for welded product repairs. To address this issue, a study was conducted using trailing heat sink-assisted welding. The Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) method was applied with variations in filler electrodes (ER316LSi and ER308LSi) and welding currents (100 A and 120 A). The welding results were visually inspected and distortion was measured. The findings indicate that welding with a trailing heat sink can effectively reduce distortion, particularly at higher current levels.

Abstract

Komponen tangga pada kapal keruk di Perum Jasa Tirta I berperan krusial dalam menopang tekanan vertikal atau gaya hidrostatik tinggi selama operasi pengerukan, terutama pada kondisi perairan berarus kuat. Selain itu, komponen ini juga menopang komponen pemotong dan pompa hisap, sehingga pemilihan material dan desain struktur menjadi penting untuk mencegah kegagalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur komponen tangga yang telah dimodifikasi berdasarkan metode pengelasan yang digunakan. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental dengan memvariasikan parameter pengelasan, meliputi arus pengelasan dan kecepatan tempuh, untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap sifat mekanik dan struktur mikro. Pengelasan dilakukan menggunakan elektroda E7018 dengan arus 90 A, 100 A, dan 110 A, serta kecepatan tempuh 5 cm/menit, 7,5 cm/menit, dan 10 cm/menit. Sifat mekanik dievaluasi melalui uji tarik (mengikuti standar ASTM E8) menggunakan mesin uji dengan kapasitas beban maksimum 10 ton, dan analisis struktur mikro dilakukan dengan pengamatan metalografi di bawah mikroskop optik pada perbesaran 100x. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan arus dan kecepatan hingga titik optimal dapat menghasilkan kekuatan tarik yang lebih tinggi, dengan hasil tertinggi sebesar 399,67 MPa dicapai dengan parameter pengelasan 110 A dan kecepatan 10 cm/menit. Lebih lanjut, peningkatan arus dan kecepatan menyebabkan perubahan mikrostruktur, menunjukkan distribusi butiran yang lebih halus dan seragam, terutama pada area HAZ dan logam las, yang berkontribusi pada peningkatan sifat mekanik. Hasil uji ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa arus pengelasan, kecepatan, dan interaksi keduanya memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kekuatan tarik.

Abstract

In the fabrication process of heat exchangers, tube-to-tubesheet weld joints are often prone to defects such as porosity, cracking, undercut, and other forms of damage that can degrade the quality and performance of the equipment. To address these issues, repair becomes a crucial solution. However, due to the lack of standardized repair procedures, alternative methods such as TIG dressing and flush and reweld using filler metals of various diameters are commonly applied for the sake of time and cost efficiency. This study aims to compare three repair methods TIG dressing, flush and reweld using diameters 1.6 mm filler, and diameters 2 mm filler on macrostructure, microstructure, hardness, and corrosion rate of tube-to-tubesheet weld joints. The tests conducted include macro and micro examinations, Vickers Hardness testing, and corrosion rate. The results showed that Repair 1 (TIG dressing) produced a finer ferrite phase in the weld metal area and achieved the highest average Hardness value of 234.4 kgf/mm², although it also exhibited the highest corrosion rate at 0.44053 mm/year. In contrast, Repair 2 showed the lowest Hardness in the weld metal area, with an average of 221.9 kgf/mm², and the lowest corrosion rate of 0.28036 mm/year. Therefore, the TIG dressing method proves to be more effective in improving Hardness, but at the expense of an increased corrosion rate

Abstract

Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is one of the leading metal additive manufacturing procedures for producing medium to large-scale components due to its high deposition rate, low material cost, and compatibility with common structural alloys. This paper review provides a focused and critical assessment of welding-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, particularly WAAM processes utilizing Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and Plasma Arc Welding (PAW). The scope covers the fundamental process principles, thermal–metallurgical behaviour, mechanical performance, and deposition control methods. The specific contribution of this review is: (i) explaining key process–structure–property relationships documented in recent studies, (ii) identifying core technological barriers—such as thermal distortion, porosity, residual stresses, and anisotropic microstructures—that limit industrial deployment, and (iii) outlining strategic future research directions that important for improving process stability and weld results. Key findings indicate that heat input management governs bead morphology, cooling rate, phase formation, and residual stress accumulation across multi-layer builds. Advances such as adaptive arc modes, interpass temperature control, closed-loop sensing, and hybrid subtractive–additive workflows have shown significant reductions in geometric deviation and defect formation. Nevertheless, reproducibility, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical property predictability remain persistent challenges. Overall, the review shows that integrating real-time monitoring, predictive simulation, alloy design tailored for WAAM, and intelligent control systems represents the most impactful pathway toward achieving certified and industrial-grade components.

Abstract

Welding current is one of the important parameters in the welding process, because inappropriate currents will result in welding defects in the welded material resulting in reduced weld joints. This study aims to determine the effect of current variations on SMAW welding joints ASTM A240 Grade 304L material on mechanical properties. This study uses ASTM A240 Grade 304L material with variations in welding currents of 80 A, 100 A, and 120 A using SMAW welding and using E308-16 electrodes with a diameter of 3.2 mm. Specimens were tested for chemical composition, visual test, penetrant test, and tensile test. Comparative data of tensile test explained that the highest tensile stress from variations in welding currents of 80 A, 100A, and 120 A was 625.27 MPa using a welding current of 100 A, the highest yield stress is 337.35 MPa, using a welding current of 100 A, and the highest elongation is 38.34% using a welding current of 100 A. From the data from the tensile test results for ASTM A240 Grade 304L material, the results obtained that the material data without welding treatment has the lowest tensile strength compared to with a group of variations in welding current. And the highest tensile strength value is in the 100 A current variation group.
