Recent economic and political events have further highlighted the need for new and
strategically accessible sources of oil and gas. With the continually increasing demand for …

The softening effect, which occurs as an undesirable consequence of microstructural
changes in the heat-affected zone as a result of the welding process, is an inherent aspect of …

Toughness and fatigue resistance of welds and associated heat-affected zones (HAZs) in
high-strength steels are important design parameters in structural applications. Acicular …

Multi-material design concept is growing rapidly in association with the advancement of
dissimilar alloy joining technology implementing FSW technique. In this paradigm, the major …

High-strength low alloy (HSLA) S500MC steel is widely used for chassis components,
structural parts, and pressure vessels. In this study, the effects of heat input during automatic …

The effect of cerium addition during Ruhrstahl–Heraeus (RH) refining process on liquid
calcium aluminum inclusion in Al‐killed steel is studied based on plant trials and …

Fluxes in submerged arc welding of high-strength low-alloy steels are not readily available,
flux compositions are not clear and compositions are patented. This study aims at the …

In oil and gas industries, submerged arc welding is the only primarily used process to weld
high thickness, large distance structural oil pipes. Welding process parameters play a …

A high temperature deformation experiment was conducted on a high strength low alloy
(HSLA) steel Q690 using Thermecmastor-Z thermal/physical simulator. During the …

Abstract Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is recognized as widely accepted process for
