    Gas composition and GMAW

    How does extra CO2 affect the GMAW process? Specifically switching to 75%-25% Ar & CO2 from 92%-8% Ar & CO2. This question also appears in "Welding, Bonding and Fastener engineering" group but I think this group may have some insight as well.

    Hail resistant steel

    Is there a minimum gauge thickness that can be relied upon to resist denting by hail. I am thinking about 1" diameter as a maximum. I searched but most posts are requests for advice on how to fix the dent after it happens. Others are about the Romans ("Hail Caesar").

    Thread depth for Hot Dip Galv

    We may be threading A36 bar, 5/8", 3/4" and 1" diameter which will then be hot dip galvanized. How much extra thread depth do I need for the galvanizing? We will be using a "Rigid 532" pipe threader with UNC dies. Is there a standard for this? Brad

    Does this material comply?

    We have been asked to supply a lift lug for pipe made from CSA-G40.21-300W plate. A note on the drawing states "All materials must comply with NACE MR01013" Can anyone tell me if there is a conflict between the plate material and the NACE specification? Brad

    Bend radii conflict

    I was just reviewing my recommended bend radii chart for dual certified 1/2" A36/44W plate. The values for the 2 different grades are not the same, what is acceptable practice for dual certified plates. Brad

    Working normalized plate

    What affect does rolling normalized 516-70 plate have on the grain structure. Will this practice defeat the purpose of normalization. The case in point is rolling 1" thick plate to an ID of 36" to create a wear pad for a pipe (AKA pipe saddles or repads). The finished wear pad would have an arc...

    Plasma cutting performance

    I was reviewing the specs on an ESAB PowerCut 1500 Plasmarc. The capacity is noted as 1 1/2" Manual and 3/4" mechanized. Why would the performance be cut in half when using a machine torch rather than a hand torch. If it's a typo then they (ESAB) have the same typo for all Powercut units.
