摘要: A study was conducted on dilution of single pass arc welds type 308 stainless steel filler metal deposited onto A36 carbon by the plasma welding (PAW), gas tungsten (GTAW), (GMAW), and submerged are (SAW) processes. Knowledge melting efficiency used in a simple energy balance to develop an expression for as function variables thermophysical properties substrate. Comparison calculated experimentally determined values shows approach provides reasonable predictions when can be accurately predicted. The conditions under which such accuracy is obtained discussed. diagram developed from equation readily reveals effect processing parameters aid parameter optimization.
