Reconditioning of Crankshaft in the Automotive Industry by Using TIG Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is well known that, due to their working under severe conditions, the crankshafts in the automotive industry yield in the area of the crankpin journals and that buying a new crankshaft means high costs. Due to these reasons, various welding processes are frequently used for repairs. Certain welding processes are difficult to apply because the heat energy introduced into the parts during the welding process is very high and will lead to deformations and residual stresses and to structural changes. The paper contains the experimental results related to the effect of applying the WIG welding process to certain characteristics of the deposit layer: hardness, heat affected zone, structure etc.
