The standing water of a pool and the running water of a stream or river become the abode of a special group of flora and fauna. Diverse types of plants and animals find their habitat around the gently sloping soft edge of a waterbody. These plants give shelter and feed hundreds of tiny crustaceans, insects, worms, molluscs and vertebrates. As per the evolutionary history, terrestrial fauna evolved from its aquatic predecessors. Since the process of habitat transition was gradual, we find several animals wholly or partially, now-a-days dependent on land-water interface for sustenance and propagation. However, cementing of ponds and waterholes often disturbs the natural habitat of the water body and thereby leading to disruption in the life cycle of such animals. Lack of knowledge on their biology may lead to their expulsion as a result of negligent human intervention. In this paper, we discuss some of the faunal forms which are, either wholly or partially, dependent on land-water edge for survival and perpetuation. The stage in their life cycle during which they depend on the land-water edge and the apparent consequences they might face if the edge is disturbed by human interference have also been discussed here.

The Welding technology scenario in India will remain incomplete unless the activities of welding technology in Industries across the country is not highlighted. Since Indian Welding Journal (IWJ) is the only official journal published by IIW-India and highlights the activities prevailing in welding/joining, should reflect the on-going activities of our welding/fabricated industries for mutual benefits of both industries and members of IIW-India as well as readers of IWJ both in India and other countries. We need a group of enthusiastic industry members providing networking and means of communicating information about application of welding technology. After all welding technology is used a wide range of our industries and applications from micro-joining of medical devices, electronics etc. to large scale applications such as boilers and pressure vessels, bridges, defense and mining equipments, piping, ships, rail and road transport, water and gas pipe lines, nuclear etc. Interested members are welcome to make an active group which will be included in Editorial Board of our IWJ in order to provide scientific and technical information prevailing in our industries. We are sure that the inputs of the active group will further improve our IWJ with the ever brightening scenario on industrial sectors.Full Text

Multi-material fabrication such as joining of steel and aluminium has become prominence now a days in automotive industries. Friction Stir Welding (FSW), a novel solid state welding process, has already established good joint strength between steel and aluminium; but joint fatigue strength of such dissimilar material has not yet been explored. In the present study, the friction stir lap welding has been performed at each rotation speeds of 500, 1000, 1500 rpm for two different travel speed i.e. 50 and 100 mm min-1 at a constant probe depth 2.5 mm. Among the different joints, two joints: one achieved of maximum load (5 kN) and other achieved of minimum load (2 kN) have been exclusively characterized by high cycle fatigue at R=0.1. Furthermore, R ratio has been varied from +0.5, +0.3 to -0.5, -0.3 at endurance limit (106 cycles). The experimental results show that fatigue strength at 106 cycles for both the FS welded lap joint is about 20% of their respective failure load. Thus better fatigue strength is associated with the lap joint performed with the joint of maximum load. The fatigue behaviour of two FS joints has been correlated with the thickness of intermetallic compound evaluated by SEM image and accumulation of dislocations observed by TEM.- Editorial

Our country is moving into another economical revolution and, if we are not prepared to meet the challenge, we will be relegated to a minor role in the global scheme of industry. The economic outlook for the Indian welding fabrication industry is not bleak despite some recent difficulties. Overall economic parameters are favorable with the combination of relatively skilled work force with a favorable cost structure if compared to the highly industrialized country. Traditionally, the welding industry has drawn in work force from high school and ITI. Recently, due to significant development in welding technology such as welding process control, power sources with advanced wave forms and digitally controlled displays, robotic welding etc. skilled and trained workforce has become an important ingredient to an organization's success. IIW-India had made a fantastic effort in planning to improve the performance of welding industry through training and certification. Our new president Mr. P. K. Das has emphasized in the last AGM held at Kolkata on 29.09.12 for implementing the concept of national plan for the industry. Our welding industry must take a stand on obtaining proper use of strong work force to accomplishing their goal.Full Text

Over the years, the growth of fabrication industry has generated a demand for quality weld deposition at ever faster rate with flexibility in operation. Welding processes are being developed to crater the need of the fabrication industry. However, for better flexibility in operation, the concepts of hybrid process are now being implemented commercially. But to get maximum benefit of such potential hybrid processes, it is necessary to establish first the technical characteristic of the process. These have been discussed lucidly by Dr. G. Padmanabham et al in his paper "LASER-MIG Hybrid Welding of Thick Plates of Mild Steel in Single Pass" which many of us would find very informative and relevant.Full Text

Corrosion prevention is a major concern for naval structures particularly for welded joint of high strength steel. Although cathodic protection (CP) is still widely used to prevent corrosion of structural steels in marine environment, effectiveness of CP has not been proven for structural steels with a yield stress above 400 MPa. In the present investigation, high strength steel plate of DMR 249A was welded by Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process and the corrosion fatigue tests were performed on weld metal in air and 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature with R ratio of 0.1 and a cyclic frequency of 0.01 Hz with and without cathodic potential. Optimum cathodic potential for weld metal was also evaluated in unstressed condition from the minimum corrosion coefficient among four potentials (under at -800, -875, -950, -1025) mV based on potentiostatic polarization curves (Ecorr value) of weld metal. Corrosion fatigue results suggest that optimum cathodic potential data (-875 mV) determined in unstressed condition could be used to improve the corrosion fatigue life of weld metal used in naval structure.Keywords

Spot weld quality in terms of soundness of joint and nugget penetrations have been evaluated by ultrasonic technique. Furthermore, the variations in ultrasonic attenuation characteristics caused by grain boundary scattering have been utilized to assess grain coarsening at weld metal due to spot welding heat. The interpretations of ultrasonic signals are found to correspond with the results obtained from peel off and shear tensile test and are at par with the optical and TEM observations.

In recent years significant understanding of the welding processes and welding materials have been possible due to intense R & D work. New processes, new materials are being introduced and at the same time overall integrity requirements under severe service conditions are in demand by the codes and standards. Friction stir welding (FSW), for example, a novel solid-state welding process, is now available to the industries for full utilization of its vast potentialities. The FSW process is inherently simple, with few variables and other inherent advantages. However, lot of research works on FSW process are in progress to explore its technical characteristics interfacing with different materials as well as processes. This will develop more confidence among the fabricators and will undoubtedly increase the domain of existing applications. FSW is already been applied in aircraft, ship building and automobile industry. Recently FSW process has been included in ASME Section IX for power plant application indicating gradual penetration in different sectors.

The automotive companies are quickly changing their material bill from low strength formable grades to advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in response to the global call for preserving a green environment and enhanced passenger safety. As compared to low carbon formable steels, the AHSS steels are relatively difficult to weld by the traditional processes and the joint performance is below expected levels. Thereby conventional manufacturing processes are being challenged, and new processes with improved service performance are being increasingly explored. Fatigue performance of material joints is a key design input and indicator of the performance of automobiles during service, particularly for AHSS. In this paper, primary joining process such as spot welding and emerging hybrid joining process such as weld-bonding were carried out on two commercially available AHS dual phase (DP590, DP780) automotive steels. Two dimensional spot welding lobes were developed for each of the steels following nugget diameter criteria of 4 √t to 5.5 √t, where t is the thickness of the sheets. By selecting two sets of parameters from the lobes, spot welding was carried out on shear-tension sheet samples with an AC type resistance spot welding machine. Weld-bonding was done by applying a thin layer of high strength epoxy based structural adhesive followed by spot welding on two overlapping sheet samples. Static shear tensile and fatigue properties under tension-tension mode for all the spot welded and weld-bonded joints of DP590 and DP780 steels were evaluated and compared.Keywords

Wear is a major problem leading to the replacement of components and assemblies in engineering industries. For many years welding technology has supplied an effective means of protecting the surface of engineering components which would otherwise be scrapped. To protect parts against mineral wear, chromium-containing Fe-C surfacing alloys are in use for deposit welding. Besides the chemical composition, the properties of such coating alloys are influenced mainly by specific welding parameters. The welding conditions, in particular the cooling rate of the deposited material, have important influence on the microstructure of the coating, and therefore on the hardness and wear resistance.- Development of Artificial Neural Network-Based Model for Prediction of Temperature Field in Host Rock of a Geological Disposal Facility for Radioactive Waste

Calculation of temperature field in a deep geological repository (DGR) after emplacement of a large number of heat emitting vitrified radioactive canisters is important and requires large computational time and hence in this study an effort has been made towards development of artificial neural network (ANN) based model that can predict the temperature quickly. The datasets required to train the ANN model were generated using an in-house developed GUI tool for simulating heat diffusion process. Various numerical studies were conducted with different configurations of the ANN model and different datasets of size 50, 100, 150, 200, to optimize the number of input data required to train the model. The results in the form of temperature values predicted by the trained ANN model have been compared with those for the same problem calculated using analytical and finite difference based methods. The trained ANN model can predict temperature values with less than 0.001% error.Keywords
