MICROSTRUCTURE ANALYSES OF MAGNETIC IMPALED ARC BEAM (MIAB) WELDING SPECIMEN
Keywords:
MIAB welding, Weld quality of MIAB, Tube to Tube joiningAbstract
Magnetic impaled arc beam welding is solid state welding process, which uses high speed rotating arc to
produce sufficient heat for joining. This MIAB welding technique can be used for hollow i.e. pipe to pipe or pipe to solid
plate/rod joining. This paper describes the results of the research on welding of 22mm diameter and 2mm wall thickness
tube to tenon, which represents the core of this investigation. Weld development work on this components was conducted
for the purpose of getting a knowledge base for MIAB welding’s weld quality. Discussion and analysis of these results
are presented in this paper.
