A standard term for the technique inwhich a concentrated heat source penetrates partiallyor completely through a workpiece, forming a hole(keyhole) at the leading edge of the weld pool.

A technique for manipulating thetorch when manually welding groove welds. With thistechnique, the electrode extension is a

38、djusted to allowthe proper arc length while the edge of the shieldinggas nozzle rests on both groove faces of the joint. Thetorch is manipulated using a wrist motion in which thenozzle (cup) is rotated at a slight angle to the axis ofthe root opening, increased pressure is exerted on theleading groo

39、ve face while the nozzle is rotated caus-ing forward progression. Subsequently the nozzle isrotated and increased pressure is exerted on theopposing groove face. The nozzle is again rotatedcausing further forward progression. This motion isrepeated so that the cup appears to be “walking” alongthe gr

40、oove faces while the arc oscillates smoothlyacross the joint.water-cooled torch. A welding torch where the primarycooling medium is the flow of water or other liquidcoolant through the torch.4. Preparations for Welding4.1 Cleanliness. Cleanliness is important in all weldingoperations, but it is espe

41、cially important in root passwelding. Cleaning should be done on the groove facesand a minimum of 25 mm 1 in of the base metal onboth the inside and outside surfaces of the pipe. All partsof the joint should be free of grease and oil, which shouldbe removed by use of a suitable solvent. A suitable s

42、ol-vent is one that does not leave a residue and is not harm-ful to the welder or to the weldment. Most solventsrequire good ventilation, and many are flammable; there-fore, proper precautions should be taken. Grinding orother mechanical means should be used to remove allpaint, scale, rust, and dirt

43、.Grinding and cleaning operations should be done justprior to welding. After cleaning, the pipe should be han-dled so as to preserve cleanliness.AWS D10.11M/D10.11:200734.2 Purging4.2.1 Purging Applications. An internal gas purge isrequired for stainless and nonferrous piping systems(except aluminum

44、) if a smooth root surface is to beobtained. Carbon steels and low alloy steels containingless than 5% chromium can be welded using an open rootgroove without the use of an internal gas purge. How-ever, purging of joints is highly recommended when thechromium content of the weld metal exceeds 2% or

45、whenusing a consumable insert since purging reduces theoccurrence of defects and the excessive oxidation of theresultant root bead. Inert backing gas should always beused for consumable inserts of any material other thancarbon steel and when using Class 1 or 2 inserts.It should be noted that purging

46、 will increase weldingspeed significantly when used during welding steels thatdo not normally require purging, such as carbon and lowalloy steel.4.2.2 Purging Gases. Argon is most often used forinternal purging and may be safely used for all materials.Helium may also be used for all materials, altho

47、ugh it ismore expensive than argon. For some materials, nitrogenis a suitable purge gas. Nitrogen can be used at lowercost than argon for specific applications, but it shouldbe demonstrated as suitable by testing prior to use inproduction.The purging gases should be specified according to AWSA5.32/A

48、5.32M, Specification for Welding ShieldingGases, or AWS C5.10, Recommended Practices forShielding Gases for Welding and Plasma Arc Cutting.Argon (AWS A5.32/A5.32M Class SG-A), helium (SG-He), and nitrogen (SG-N) should have a purity of betterthan 99.995% and have a dew point of 51C 67F, orlower.The

49、purging procedures in this document are based onthe use of argon as the purging gas. If nitrogen or heliumis used, modifications to the purging procedure may benecessary because both gases are less dense than argon.4.3 Purge Gas Containment4.3.1 General Requirements and Some Contain-ment Methods. Purging requires an entrance opening,through which the purge gas can enter the weld joint areaat a controlled rate, and an exit opening, through whichoxygen-containing gas can leave. Purge gas hoses shouldnot be rubber or other porous material since these areable to aspirate air when high fl
