Kuchuk-Yatsenko S.I., Kirian V.I., Kazymov B.I. and Khomenko V.I. Methodology for control of fitness for purpose of flash butt welded joints in pipelines 2
Requirements to circumferential welded joints in large-diameter pipelines are considered. Results of experimental studies of strength and deformability of flash butt welded joints on standard and large-scale specimens are generalised. It is shown that development of a test procedure and requirements for toughness of the weld metal, allowing for specific peculiarities of formation of the flash butt welded joints, is required to control fitness for purpose of the joints.
Golovko V.V. Influence of oxygen potential of welding fluxes on solid solution alloying in weld metal 7
Calculation-experimental procedure was used to predict the ferritic matrix alloying level in a low-alloyed weld metal. Results of comparison of calculations made by the suggested procedure with the experimental data are presented, showing high reliability of the obtained predictions. A conclusion is made on the possibility of using the suggested procedure both for calculation of the solid solution alloying level and for evaluation of the optimal level of the oxidation potential of welding consumables.
Pokhmursky V.I., Student M.M., Dovgunyk V.M., Sidorak I.I., Dzioba Yu.V. and Ryabtsev I.A. Initiation and re-distribution of internal stresses in electric arc coatings during their formation 11
Electric arc flux-cored wire deposition of coatings results in formation of residual tensile stresses, which may cause initiation of cracks in the coatings, or their fracture, especially in finishing operations. It is shown that coating deposition parameters have a substantial effect both on the kinetics of formation of internal stresses, and on their residual level.

Considered are the peculiarities of application of the technology for repair of durable oil refinery large-size column equipment made from two-layer steel St.3sp + 08Kh13, which is operated at a temperature of up to 300-400°C.
Ryzhov R.N. and Kuznetsov V.D. External electromagnetic effects in the processes of arc welding and surfacing (Review) 29
Classification of controlling magnetic fields used for implementation of electromagnetic effects is given. Published data on the efficiency of application of different electromagnetic effects in arc welding and surfacing processes are systematized and generalized. It is established that the spectrum of addressed technological problems is related to vector, amplitude and frequency characteristics of the controlling magnetic fields. The most promising ways of improving these technologies are identified.
