GMAW Parameters Effects On Microstructural And Mechanical Properties Of TOW SS304 And BS1387

Tailored orbital welding is a joining process of tubular product with dissimilar material and size depending on the application environment. One of the most common industries that apply this process is in power plant boiler water piping system. Dissimilar material is used to transmit water at variou...
