Abstract:
Pressure vessels are vital across many industries for containing fluids under high pressures and temperatures. Their design, fabrication, and maintenance require strict standards for safety and reliability, with welding playing a crucial role. Extensive research has optimized welding practices, enhancing weld quality and mechanical properties. Studies have explored the impact of welding parameters and filler materials on performance. For example, research on materials like stainless steel and Inconel has revealed differences in mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and weld quality based on filler wire selection. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) has been highlighted as a precise and versatile technique for creating high-quality welds in various industrial applications. Despite advancements, a research gap exists regarding the use of stainless-steel electrodes with low alloy mild steel, specifically IS2062E350C. This study aims to address this gap, comparing different filler wires to enhance cost efficiency and weld performance.
