Abstract
Gas tanks for liquified petroleum gas are an important product of metal-working industry. Because of a strong competition, their production should be rational as much as possible without jeopardizing the safety required. Welding is a basic technological procedure for this purpose. In intensive production, lack of fusion, which is undetectable by non-destructive testing methods, may occur; therefore, such a technology should be used where there is no risk of the occurrence of lack of fusion. Both major manufacturers, who are co-financing the Project, are losing their competive advantages due to weld repairs. Consequently, they have decided to introduce a new welding technology. Our support is required for this purpose. Development of the technology will be supported by research having the following aims: - determination of causes of occurrence of weld defects, - detection of defects by non-destructive testing, - prevention of defect occurrence by technological measures. As already mentioned, our attention will be focused on lack of fusion in welds.
