Cutting Chapter 9 Flashcards
Used to maintain the temperature of the weld zone during the welding
Interpass Temperature Control
Quenching does not have much of an effect on low-carbon and mild steels because…
They dont contain much carbon
Quenching ——– and ——- carbon steels produces a hard and brittle crystalline structure.
It also reduces the metal’s toughness
Medium
High
T
Heavy plate and castings have a —– —- — —-that will cause the weld metal & adjacent base metal to quench unless they are adequately preheated
High Heat Absorbtion Capacity
Cause moisture in the weld zone to separate into hydrogen & oxygen
Welding Arc
The —– dissolves in the molten base metal, and the —— combines with other elements to form —–
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Slag
The hydrogen forms gas bubbles in the base metal along the weld boundary…
As the metal begins to cool.
Restricted joints, complex shapes, freezing temperatures and carbon content over .30 percent
Mild Carbon Steels
Low Carbon Steel (.1-.3 Percent) Shapes or Conditions
Freezing Temperatures
Low Carbon Steel (.1-.3 Percent) Preheat Temperature
Above 70’ F
During this, an alternating magnetic field is generated within the metal body being heated
Induction Heating
This thing is placed around the metal object, and a strong alternating current is passed through the coil
Magnetic Coil
Handheld device that measures temperature from the frequencies of the emitted electromagnetic waves of infrared or visible light.
Pyrometer
Noncontact instruments commonly used to measure temperature.
Optical Pyrometers
Devices that change form or color at specific temperatures or temperature ranges.
Temperature-sensitive indicators
