When stainless steel pipe welding seams have issues, they can reduce the bearing capacity of the pipe, lower its lifting capacity, shorten its service life, and even cause brittle fractures. Today, I will provide a summary of how to address problems when the size of stainless steel welding seams deviates from standards.
Problems in Stainless Steel Pipe Welding:
The weld size does not meet the required specifications, leading to residual welding seam height differences, inconsistent weld width, misalignment, and excessive deformation after welding.
Inconsistent weld width not only affects the appearance but also weakens the bonding strength between the weld and the base material.
Excessive weld height causes stress concentration, while a weld lower than the base material lacks sufficient connection strength.
Excessive misalignment and deformation lead to structural distortion, increased stress concentration, and reduced overall strength.
Causes of Welding Issues:
Improper preparation of the welding seam, such as inadequate beveling or uneven gaps.
Unreasonable selection of welding process parameters.
Insufficient skill level of welders.
Preventive Measures:
Choose the correct bevel angle and assembly gap.
Enhance the quality of assembly preparation.
Select appropriate welding process parameters.
Improve the operational skills of welders through training.
The above solutions address common problems in stainless steel pipe welding seams. I hope this information is helpful to you.
