Automated Orbital Welding of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels Pipelines with Small Diameter

Article Preview

Abstract:

Welding of small-diameter pipelines made of carbon and low-alloy steels is highly demanded in various industries. However, there is practically no scientific literature covering all methods of welding of such pipelines. This article analyzes the available literature, as well as the authors' own developments. The survey showed the most common non-consumable electrode welding technology in inert gases. The main points of non-consumable electrode welding technology in inert gases, as well as the development of welding of small-diameter pipelines from carbon and low-alloy steels, are presented and structured.
