Metal Joining Technique of SA 213 Tube and SA 387 Tube Plate Grade Materials Using Backing Block by Clearance Fit Condition

Abstract:

This work, Seamless Austenitic 213 tube is welded with Seamless Austenitic 387 tube plate through friction welding of tube to tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET) method in presence of backing block by using clearance fit method. Further, the analysis of microstructural features on the interface of weld exhibit that the FWTPET is able to generate flawless welds. In all nine various work specimen which welded under the various circumstances, the hardness value, tensile strength have taken. In this work, two type of specimen has taken where one kind is the tube which contains no hole and another one is with the hole in the circumference. 806.28 MPa and 746.5 MPa were the optimum strength for the workpiece which is not a having a hole and having the hole on the circumference.
