Abstract
Abstract
Austenitic stainless steel (ASS) is widely fabricated by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding for aesthetic look and superior mechanical properties while compared to other arc welding process. Hitherto, the limitation of this process is low depth of penetration and less productivity. To overcome this problem activated tungsten inert gas (A-TIG) welding process is employed as an alternative. In this investigation the welding performance of conventional TIG welding is compared with A-TIG process using TiO2 and SiO2 flux with respect to weld bead geometry. The experimental investigation on A-TIG welding of ASS-201 grade shows TiO2 flux helps in achieve higher penetration as compared to SiO2 flux. While welding with SiO2 the hardness in HAZ and weld region higher than that of TIG welding process.
