The present disclosure relates generally to welding and, more specifically, to electrodes for arc welding, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW). A welding consumable includes a metallic sheath surrounding a granular core. The welding consumable includes: approximately 0.35 wt % or less manganese, between approximately 0.1 wt % and approximately 3 wt % nickel, between approximately 2.5 wt % and approximately 10 wt % calcined rutile; and between approximately 0.1 wt % and approximately 2 wt % spodumene, all based on the weight of the welding consumable.

An arc additive apparatus, a control method for an arc additive apparatus, and a storage medium are disclosed. The arc additive apparatus includes: an additive welding gun, configured to melt a wire to perform additive manufacturing on a workpiece to be machined; a mechanical vibration device, arranged below the workpiece; an ultrasonic auxiliary device, arranged at a side of the additive welding gun; and a control device, configured to control the ultrasonic auxiliary device to form an ultrasonic field below the additive welding gun, and to control, when welding at a position where additive manufacturing is to be performed by the additive welding gun, the mechanical vibration device to perform a mechanical vibration in different modes separately during and at the end of a welding process of the additive welding gun.

The present disclosure provides a pre-stressed steel sheet comprising: a base material; and a plurality of weld lines formed on the base materials, wherein the average spacing between each pair of the weld lines is equal to or greater than five times the width of the weld lines and equal to or less than half the width of the steel sheet.

A 3D metal printing machine or apparatus includes a welder that deposits one or more layers of metal, and a powered cutting tool that may be utilized to remove a portion of the metal deposited by the welder after the metal has solidified. Numerous layers of metal can be deposited and machined to form complex 3D metal parts. During fabrication, a part may be formed on a support whereby the part can be fabricated by welding and machining operations without removing the part from the support. A 3D CAD model of a part may be utilized to generate code that controls the 3D metal printing apparatus. A measuring device such as a probe or laser scanner may be utilized to measure the shape/size of parts in the 3D metal printing machine.

A manufacturing method for a three-dimensional formed object for manufacturing the three-dimensional formed object by stacking layers includes supplying a first forming material of the three-dimensional formed object to a contour region of the three-dimensional formed object in the layers, applying energy to the first forming material supplied to the contour region to solidify the first forming material, supplying a second forming material to a region corresponding to the three-dimensional formed object, the region being a contact region in contact with the contour region, and applying energy to the second forming material supplied to the contact region to solidify the second forming material.

A manufacturing process includes depositing a clad layer having a thickness greater than about 0.5 mm (0.02 in) on a surface of the component by hardfacing, and creating a heat affected zone directly below the clad layer due to the depositing. The heat affected zone may be a region of the component where a lowest hardness is lower than a base hardness of the component below the heat affected zone. The method may also include heat treating the component after the deposition such that the lowest hardness in the heat affected zone is restored to within about 15% of the base hardness of the component.

Embodiments of an alloy that can be resistant to cracking. In some embodiments, the alloy can be advantageous for use as a hardfacing alloys, in both a diluted and undiluted state. Certain microstructural, thermodynamic, and performance criteria can be met by embodiments of the alloys that may make them advantageous for hardfacing.

A joining method includes: an additive manufacturing step for performing additive manufacturing of a joining pin in a machining region on a joining surface of a joining base material, by supplying a first shaping material to the machining region, and heating and melting for supplying a heat source to melt the shaping material; a disposing step for disposing a joining base material and a joining material having a through hole (H1) such that the joining pin passes through the through hole and protrudes from the through hole; and a machining step for forming a fixed protrusion that fixes the joining base material and the joining material by machining a protrusion of the joining pin protruding from the through hole. The outer circumferential shape of the fixed protrusion viewed from a pass-through direction is larger than that of an outlet of the through hole.
