The following document details the reports/findings of various wet fillet welds, which were made using our Barracuda Gold underwater welding electrodes. The details contained have been extracted from the Hammerhead wet-spot welding ‘Smart’ report and represents typical wet weld quality, as performed by a skilled welder, on plain carbon steel to BSEN 10 025-275JR specification.
TENSILE STRENGTH PROPERTIES
D1 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - 3.2MM ON 8.0MM PLATE D1.1 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - (REPEATED) D1.2 – THREE PASS WET WELD - 3.2MM ON 8.0MM PLATE D1.3 – THREE PASS WET WELD - (REPEATED) D2 – THREE PASS WET WELD - 4.0MM ON 10.0MM PLATE D2.1 – THREE PASS WET WELD - (REPEATED) D2.2 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - 4.0MM ON 10.0MM PLATE D2.3 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - (REPEATED)

E1 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - 3.2MM ON 8.0MM PLATE E1.1 – THREE PASS WET WELD - 3.2MM ON 8.0MM PLATE F1 – THREE PASS WET WELD- 4.0MM ON 10.0MM PLATE F1.1 – SINGLE PASS WET WELD - 4.0MM ON 10.0MM PLATE GRAPH SHOWING WELD STRENGTH PROPERTIES FOR ALL ‘D’ WELDS
Sample D1 & D1.1 - Single pass fillet weld using 3.2mm Barracuda electrodes on 8.0mm plate in H-V position.
Photo 1-2 shows joint preparation and as welded joint.
Photo 3-4 shows weld after tensile testing. The welding parameters were set as follows. Amps: 160-165 Volts: 28-30 Polarity: DC –Ve electrode ROL: 190mm/min Arc Energy: 1.42-1.57kJ/mmS-1 These welds were subjected to tensile tests; see test report numbers S401923 & S402301 for further details. NOTE: welds made under winter weather conditions, with typical air temperatures of 0-1oC recorded.
Sample D1.2 & D1.3 - Multipass fillet weld made using 3.2mm Barracuda electrodes on 8.0mm plate in H-V position.
Photo 1-2 shows joint/preparation and as welded joint.
