Pipe welding process using a metallic insert for improved corrosion resistance of the welded zone

摘要

Avoidance of the corrosion initiation sites consisting of Mn particles deposited on the TiG welded inner tube surface is achieved through suppression of emission of manganese fumes by addition of a protective non corrosive metallic layer. The latter melts during the welding and arises in a non-corrosive internal metallic coating of the welded zone.
