    Under Water Welding

    Uploaded by

    KIRAN KUMAR D
    Underwater welding is a specialized process that requires divers to weld at elevated pressures, usually while submerged underwater. There are two types - wet welding, where the diver is directly exposed to the underwater environment, and dry welding, where a sealed chamber is used to provide a dry environment at prevailing water pressures. Underwater welding presents challenges like reduced visibility, risk of electric shock, and hydrogen embrittlement of metals. However, it allows for repairs of ships, bridges, pipelines, and other structures underwater. Future developments include greater automation to reduce risks to divers performing underwater welding tasks.

    CONTENTS
    • INTRODUCTION
    • HISTORY
    • WORKING PRINCIPAL
    • SPECIFICATION
    • REQUIREMENTS OF UNDER WATER WELDING
    • ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
    • COMPARISION BETWEEN NORMAL WELDING
    AND UNDER WATER WELDING
    • FUTURE SCOPE AND DEVELOPMENT
    INTRODUCTION
    •Underwater welding is performed while the welder is submerged, often at
    elevated barometric pressure.
    •This introduces a variety of challenges that require specialized skills and
    training. Because of the adverse conditions and inherent dangers associated
    with underwater welding (also known as wet welding).
    •The divers must be trained to an exceptionally rigorous standard with highly
    specialized instruction.
    HISTORY
    • First under water welding by British Admiralty- Dockyard
    • In 1946, special waterproof electrode were developed in Holland
    “Van der Willingen”
    What is Under water welding?
    Underwater welding is the process of welding at elevated pressures
    normally underwater  Hyperbaric welding can either take place wet in the
    water itself or dry inside a specially constructed positive pressure
    enclosure and hence a dry environment. It is predominantly referred to as
    hyperbaric welding when used in a dry environment, and underwater
    welding when in a wet environment.
    WORKING PRINCIPAL
    • The process of underwater wet welding takes in the following manner:
    •  The work to be welded is connected to one side of an electric circuit, and
    a metal electrode to the other side.
    • These two parts of the circuit are brought together, and then separated
    slightly. The electric current jumps the gap and causes a sustained spark
    (arc), which melts the bare metal, forming a weld pool.
    • At the same time, the top of electrode melts, and metal droplets are
    projected into the weld pool. During this operation, the flux covering the
    electrode melts to provide a shielding gas, which is used to stabilize the
    arc column and shield the transfer metal.
    •  The arc burns in a cavity formed inside the flux covering, which is designed
    to burn slower than the metal barrel of the electrode.
    Requirement of under
    water welding
     Power supply requires 400amps or larger. DC generators, motor
    generators and rectifiers are acceptable power supplies.
     Power converters.
     Welding generator, Pre-setup.
     Diesel Driven welding generator Amperage and voltage settings.
     Gas manifolds.
    CLASSIFICATION
    • There are two types of under water welding:-
    • Wet Welding
    • Dry Welding
    Wet Welding
    • In this process it is directly expose to environment.
    • A special type of electrode is used in this type of welding without
    any physical barrier between water and welding.
    • Mostly used gas metal arc welding.
    ADVANTAGES
    • Minimum amount of equipment is needed.
    • Operating speed is high.
    • No seal chamber is required
    DISADVANTAGES
    • Rapid quench of the weld metal by surround water
    • Decreases impact strength and loss
    • Hydrogen embattlement causes crakes
    • Poor visibility in water
    • Electric shock will occur
    DRY WELDING
    Dry welding is the process in which a chamber is sealed around the
    structure to be welded and it is filled with a gas (He and 0.5bar of
    Oxygen) at the prevailing pressure.
    ADVANTAGES
    • More safety than wet welding.
    • Good quality weld.
    • Surface monitoring.
    • Non destructive testing possible.
    DISADVANTAGES
    • Higher cost of process, training , etc.
    • More deep more energy required.
    • It should be weld only reachable places.
    • Large quantity of costly and complex equipment.
    NEED FOR UNDER
    WATER WELDING
     To repair the cracks in ships, bridge and submarine.
     For quick process in under water welding.
     To construction of pipe line under sea.
     To weld any cracks in oil pipe line.
    Risk involved in under
    water welding
    • Electric shock explosion.
    • Risk to the life of the welder.
    • High pressure is formed.
    • Shark attack under deep sea welding.
    Difference between
    normal
    welding and underwater welding
     Under water welding:-
    It is burning 6500 to 10000 degree faranheat under the see
    Under the water metal sound is different, It is high pitched but muffled
    like a siren entering in a tunnel.

     Ground welding:-
    In the electric arc, the temperature is very high of the order of 6000 to
    8000 degree Celsius
    It is up to 10000 to 20000 degree Celsius for the PAW process and well
    above the boiling point of the base and filler materials.
    Future scope and
    development
    Present trend towards automation THOR-1 (TIG HYPERBARIC
    ORIBITAL ROBOT) is developed where divers performs pipefitting,
    installs the track and orbital head on the pipe and the rest process is
    automated.
