QG-109 DEFINITIONS (ASME Sec. IX) Part- 2


QG-109


QG-109.2 DEFINITIONS:-

brazing: a group of metal joining processes which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to a suitable temperature, and by using a filler metal having a liquidus above 840°F (450°C) and below the solidus of the base materials. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action.

brazing operator: one who operates machine or automatic brazing equipment.

brazing temperature: the temperature to which the base metal(s) is heated to enable the filler metal to wet the base metal(s) and form a brazed joint.

brazing temperature range: the temperature range within which brazing can be conducted.

brazing, automatic: brazing with equipment which performs the brazing operation without constant observation and adjustment by a brazing operator. The equipment may or may not perform the loading and unloading of the work.

brazing, block (BB): a brazing process that uses heat from heated blocks applied to the joint. This is an obsolete or seldom used process.

brazing, dip (DB): a brazing process in which the heat required is furnished by a molten chemical or metal bath. When a molten chemical bath is used, the bath may act as a flux; when a molten metal bath is used, the bath provides the filler metal.

brazing, furnace (FB): a brazing process in which the workpieces are placed in a furnace and heated to the brazing temperature.

brazing, induction (IB): a brazing process that uses heat from the resistance of the workpieces to induced electric current.

brazing, machine: brazing with equipment which performs the brazing operation under the constant observation and control of a brazing operator. The equipment may or may not perform the loading and unloading of the work.

brazing, manual: a brazing operation performed and controlled completely by hand. See also automatic brazing and machine brazing.

brazing, resistance (RB): a brazing process that uses heat from the resistance to electric current flow in a circuit of which the workpieces are a part.
brazing, semiautomatic: brazing with equipment which controls only the brazing filler metal feed. The advance of the brazing is manually controlled.

brazing, torch (TB): a brazing process that uses heat from  fuel gas flame.

build‐up of base metal/restoration of base metal thickness: this is the application of a weld material to a base metal so as to restore the design thickness and/or structural integrity. This build‐up may be with a chemistry different from the base metal chemistry which has been qualified via a standard butt welded test coupon. Also, may be called base metal repair or buildup.

butt joint: a joint between two members aligned approximately in the same plane.

butt-fusing cycle: pressure–time diagram for a defined fusing temperature, representing the entire butt-fusing operation.

butt-fusing pressure: the sum of the theoretical butt-fusing pressure plus the drag pressure. This is the gauge pressure used by the butt-fusing operator on the butt-fusing machine to join the pipe ends.

buttering: the addition of material, by welding, on one or both faces of a joint, prior to the preparation of the joint for final welding, for the purpose of providing a suitable transition weld deposit for the subsequent completion of the joint.

clad brazing sheet: a metal sheet on which one or both sides are clad with brazing filler metal.

coalescence: the growing together or growth into one body of the materials being joined.

complete fusion: fusion which has occurred over the entire base material surfaces intended for welding, and between all layers and beads.

composite: a material consisting of two or more discrete materials with each material retaining its physical identity.

consumable insert: filler metal that is placed at the joint root before welding, and is intended to be completely fused into the root to become part of the weld.

contact tube: a device which transfers current to a continuous electrode.

control method (FSW): the manner of monitoring and controlling the position of the rotating tool with respect to the weld joint during the friction stir welding process.

control method, force (FSW): a control method that uses a force set point, such as plunge force or travel force, to control the tool position. Under the force control method, the plunge depth or travel speed can vary, within a specified range, during welding.

control method, position (FSW): a control method that uses a set plunge position relative to the plate surface to control the tool position. Under the position control method, the plunge force can vary, within a specified range, during welding.

control method, travel (FSW): a control method that uses a set travel speed to control the tool position. Under the travel control method, the travel force can vary, within a specified range, during welding.

QG-109 DEFINITIONS (ASME Sec. IX) Part- 1

QG-109  QG-109.1 GENERAL  Definitions of the more common terms relating to material-joining processes are defined in QG-109.2. There are terms listed that are specific to ASME Section IX. QG-109.2 DEFINITIONS arc seam weld : a seam weld made by an arc welding process. arc spot weld : a spot weld made by an arc welding process. arc strike : any inadvertent discontinuity resulting from an arc, consisting of any localized remelted metal, heat‐affected metal, or change in the surface profile of any metal object. The arc may be caused by arc welding electrodes, magnetic inspection prods, or frayed electrical cable. arc welding : a group of welding processes wherein coalescence is produced by heating with an arc or arcs, with or without the application of pressure, and with or without the use of filler metal. as‐brazed : adj. pertaining to the condition of brazements after brazing, prior to any subsequent thermal, mechanical, or chemical treatments. as‐welded : ...
