Characterization and analysis of TIG welded stainless steel 304 alloy plates using radiography and destructive testing techniques

Abstract Welding is one of the join processes of any materials with usage of filler metal along with addition of heat, pressure on the surface parts. Gas Tungsten Arc welding (GTAW) is one type of joint method in which electric-arc formed and preserved amid non-consumable electrodes. the aim of this particular paper is to comparing the defects instigated of welded-Joint and mechanical behaviors such as tensile testing, bending, hardness, and impact test under various loads and conditions performing on work specimen in destructive testing. The effort of butt joints is made on stainless steels 304(SS304) plates via TIG welding apparatus the inner defects of specimens found from radiography testing in Nondestructive testing. Finally, explore the performance and conditions of TIG welded- plates after completing the work to compare radiography testing defects and mechanical properties.
