The influence of height of the weld reinforcement on the cost of additional materials in MAG welding process (135)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article analyzes influence of the height of the weld reinforcement on the cost of additional materials in the MAG welding process.For this purpose, a simple calculator was created based on which the welds were calculated in the quality levels B, C and D and the costs of additional materials for butt joints made of low-alloy and high-alloy steel and T-joints made of low-alloy steel. Considerations on this subject were carried out based on the PN-EN ISO 5817 standard defining quality levels according to welding nonconformities. The losses resulting from exceeding a given quality level are presented.
