The main objective of the research covered in this paper is to present results for the quality of surfaces thermally cut with a laser beam. The variety of steel materials used as samples on which laser cutting is performed are the following Č.0146 (1.0330), Č.0147 (1.0333), Č.2131 (1.5024), SS Ferbec CR, HARDOX 450 and HARDOX 550. Thermal cutting is carried out with a CNC controlled Fiber laser BAYKAL type BLS–F–1530. The quality of the cut surface is analyzed based on varying the power of the laser beam, changing cutting speed and the type of additional gas (oxygen, air and nitrogen). By visual inspection, measuring the roughness of the cut surface and measuring the width of the intersection, it is determined the influence of the factors like type of the base material, type of gases, the power of thelaser beam and the cutting speed, in accordance with the standards DIN EN ISO 9013-2002 and the JUS C.T3.022.
Hybrid laser arc welding is complex process where two heat sources act simultaneously in a common weld pool. The synergy effect of laser beam and electric arc offers several advantages over other individual technological processes, such as: higher welding speed, increased productivity, deeper penetration, better gap bridging ability, stable process, less heat input to the welding material, etc. However, the combination of two heat sources in a single welding process leads to large number of parameters that need to be synchronized and optimized in order to obtain a perfect weld. This paper presents the current state of hybrid laser arc welding in terms of its development, industrial application and scientific research. The introduction part contains a general overview of the hybrid laser arc welding process, its advantages and operating principles, and chronological development. In the second part, welding parameters that directly influence on the hybrid process have been discussed. The third part presents the performance and weld qualities achieved by hybrid welding process in accordance with previous research. In the final part, examples of industrial application and conclusions for further research and development related to hybrid laser arc welding are given.
This paper presents the development of welding technology for P460NL2 steel with a thickness of 30 mm. The technology was developed for the purpose of producing housings in which the device PIG-Pipeline Inspection/Intervention Gauge intended for testing and maintenance of pipelines is installed. In this particular case, the housings were intended for cleaning pipelines for the transport of acid-aggressive gases. The material was selected in accordance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 and ASME BPVC IKS standards. The welding technology is made for butt joint, root pass with GMAW, and other layers filled with SAW. Preheating and heat treatment after welding were performed to restore the structure. Standard tests are conducted such as: metallography, hardness test, tensile test and toughness, and the results are presented and commented in this paper. In conclusion, the welding technology gives satisfactory results, but, in terms of meeting the specifics of the NACE MR0103 and MR0175 standards, it shows increased hardness in the transition zone, in the HAZ.
