Abstract
In this paper, the effects of the joint type on the driven-out bead of the roll-formed pipes, welded by high-frequency induction welding process are studied. The main goal is to predict and reduce the volume of the bead driven out in the weld seam. Moreover, it aims to move the semi-solid bead during welding to the outer diameter of the pipe. This study has two prior aims: to produce a defect-free joint and to improve the mechanical and metallurgical properties. In order to optimize the weld joint, various joint types have been investigated by experimental tests and simulation. Lastly, destructive tests were used to determine if the desired mechanical properties of the weld joint were obtained. The metallurgical properties and the derivation of the semi-solid material in the weld zone have both been investigated in terms of microstructure. According to the results, the proper joint type improves the mechanical properties by 5% and reduces the volume of the weld bead about 45%.
