Abstract
The new method of a magnetically-impelled arc butt (MIAB) welding of pipes with a wall thickness exceeding the sizes of active spots of arc column, has been developed. Results of MIAB welding of low-alloyed steel pipes with up to 16mm wall thickness are presented. Welding equipment for welding thick-walled pipes was subjected to modification.
Keywords: magnetically-impelled arc butt welding, heating of pipe edges, joint formation, thick-walled pipes
