Vimal_Mtech_Presentation

The presentation discusses research on temperature distribution in multi-pass submerged arc welding (SAW) and its impact on distortion, microhardness, and microstructure. Key findings indicate that higher heat input leads to increased distortion and that microhardness is greater in the heat-affected zone compared to the weld metal. The study aims to optimize SAW parameters for improved weld quality and performance.

Slide 1: Title Slide

Good [morning/afternoon], everyone. My name is Vimal Kumawat,
and today I will be presenting my research on "Experimental
Investigation of Temperature Distribution and Its Relevance to
Distortion in Multi-Pass Submerged Arc Welding." This study was
conducted under the guidance of Mr. Bhaskar Srivastava at
Yagyavalkya Institute of Technology, Jaipur.

Slide 2: Introduction (1 min)

The objective of this study is to investigate temperature distribution
in multi-pass submerged arc welding (SAW) and how it affects
distortion.
• We use thermocouples to measure temperature at various
locations.
• Based on the temperature profile, we analyze angular
distortions, microhardness, and microstructure of welded
plates.
• Finally, we establish a relationship between heat input rate,
distortion, microhardness, and microstructure.

Slide 3: Submerged Arc Welding (1 min)

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a process where fusion is achieved
through an electric arc between the workpiece and a consumable
electrode.
• A layer of flux covers the arc, preventing contamination.
• The process is highly efficient and commonly used in heavy
structural applications.
Note-(A schematic diagram and mechanism of SAW are shown for
reference.)

Slide 4: Research Gap (1 min)

Although studies have explored temperature profiles and
mechanical properties in welding, very little research has focused
on temperature distribution in SAW, especially in multi-pass
welding.
• The challenge lies in measuring temperature due to the flux
layer covering the weld.
• This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the
temperature distribution, microstructure, and hardness
changes.

Slide 5: Objectives (30 sec)

The key objectives of this study are:
1. Measure temperature at various locations using
thermocouples.
2. Analyze the temperature profile in multi-pass SAW.
3. Measure angular distortions in welded plates.
4. Evaluate microhardness and microstructure changes.
5. Establish a relationship between heat input, distortion,
microhardness, and microstructure.
Slide 6: Design of Experiment (1 min)
To achieve these objectives, we designed experiments considering:
• Welding parameters such as voltage, current, and speed.
• Experimental setup including thermocouple placement.
• Material selection and specimen preparation.
Note-(The tables with welding parameters, design matrix, and
process specifications are referred to here.)

Slide 7: Experimentation (2 min)

The experiment was conducted using the following methodology:
1. Material Preparation: Base plates were prepared by cleaning
and machining.
2. Thermocouple Placement: Holes were drilled to insert
thermocouples for temperature measurement.
3. Welding Process: Multi-pass SAW was performed under
different conditions.
4. Data Collection: Temperature, distortion, and microhardness
data were recorded.
Note-(Refer to images of thermocouple placement and
experimental setup.)

Slide 8: Data Analysis – Microhardness (2 min)

We analyzed the microhardness of the weld metal and heat-
affected zone (HAZ):
• ANOVA analysis was used to assess the significance of welding
parameters.
• Hardness was measured at different locations, showing a
higher hardness in the HAZ compared to the weld metal.
• Cooling rate affected hardness, increasing by 3.33% in HAZ and
4.29% in weld metal at 2.75°C/sec.
Note:-(The tables of microhardness responses and ANOVA results
are referred to here.)

Slide 9: Results – Heat Input and Distortion (2 min)

• Higher heat input leads to greater distortion.
• At a heat input of 5.886 KJ/mm, distortion increased 7.69
times (61.53%) compared to 3.381 KJ/mm heat input.
• More passes result in wider heat-affected zones (HAZ).

(Refer to heat input and distortion graphs.)

Slide 10: Conclusion (3 min)

From this study, we conclude:
1. Welding parameters significantly influence heat input and
distortion.
2. Microhardness of HAZ is higher than weld metal due to rapid
cooling.
3. At 30V arc voltage, microhardness reduction is higher than at
38V.
4. Higher heat input increases distortion and results in ferrite-to-
graphite phase transition.
5. Ferrite content increases with more passes and rapid cooling,
improving mechanical properties.
These findings help in optimizing multi-pass SAW parameters for
better weld quality and performance.

Slide 11: References & Acknowledgment (30 sec)

This study references several key works in welding metallurgy. I
would like to express my gratitude to my guide, Mr. Bhaskar
Srivastava, and my institute for their support.
