Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):• The night shift flash weld operator said that he felt the platen velocity was too fast so he slowed it down. What do you think will result by this change?

Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):• OK, we went back to the faster platen motion and told the night shift guy to keep his hands off, but the weld still seems to be too cold. What would you suggest?

Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):• Because the part are first touching as DC current is applied in butt welding, large current levels occur immediately. How would welding steels containing large manganese sulfide inclusions be effected by this?

Factors During Upset Which Reduce Defects
• Upset Velocity• Upset Current• Upset Force• Upset Distance• Material Hot Strength/Chemistry
![Page 44: Flash/Butt Welding Plain Carbon Steel. Flash Welding of Plain Carbon Steel Lesson Objectives When you finish this lesson you will understand: The flash](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea45503460f94ba8633/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Upset Velocity
Higher Velocity Helps extrude Centerline Oxides Out
1. Oxides Are Present Because MeltingPoints are high
2. Oxides Tend to Solidify or Harden andGet entrapped at the Interface
3. Rapid Velocity Helps Get Them Moving
![Page 45: Flash/Butt Welding Plain Carbon Steel. Flash Welding of Plain Carbon Steel Lesson Objectives When you finish this lesson you will understand: The flash](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea45503460f94ba8633/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Upset Current
Advantages• Keeps Heat at Center Line During Upset• Keeps Oxides Fluid• Aids In Forcing Oxides Out
Disadvantages• Excess Heating Can Produce Excess Upset• More HAZ Fiber Turn Up
![Page 46: Flash/Butt Welding Plain Carbon Steel. Flash Welding of Plain Carbon Steel Lesson Objectives When you finish this lesson you will understand: The flash](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea45503460f94ba8633/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Upset Force
Generally Use Maximum Available(Too Light a Force May Entrap Oxides)
Upset Distance
Need Enough Upset to Squeeze all Oxides Out(Rule of Thumb: 1/2 to 1.25 times the thickness)
![Page 47: Flash/Butt Welding Plain Carbon Steel. Flash Welding of Plain Carbon Steel Lesson Objectives When you finish this lesson you will understand: The flash](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea45503460f94ba8633/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Material Hot Strength/Chemistry
• Materials with higher hot strength require higher force during upset• Materials producing refractory oxides or nitrides require higher upset distance to squeeze them out
