Devido ao regime de trabalho e necessidade de utilização de materiais com boa resistência mecânica e à corrosão, utilizou-se como metal de adição a liga UNS N06625 (Inconel 625). O processo de soldagem utilizado foi o MIG/MAG e a técnica de soldagem aplicada foi a dupla camada. A metodologia do presente trabalho foi dividida em etapas, sendo a primeira a realização de ensaios exploratórios para definir a relevância dos fatores de controle estudados. A segunda etapa consistiu na aplicação do critério de dureza e de microestrutura para definir as melhores relações de energia para aplicação da técnica da dupla camada. A técnica da dupla camada se mostrou eficaz na melhora das propriedades da microestrutura da ZAC-GG dos revestimentos, verificou-se intenso refinamento de grão. Houve também redução nas medidas de dureza e microdureza. Para ambos os gases de proteção utilizados (Ar+25%He e Ar+4%CO 2 ) foi possível obter relações de energia com afastamentos positivos. Em todas essas relações a energia da segunda camada foi maior que a energia da primeira camada. Palavras-chave:Revestimento; Reparo; Dupla camada. Study of Welding Procedures MIG / MAG for Application of Coatings of Nickel Alloy Inconel 625 to Structural ASTM A387 Gr.11 SteelAbstract: This work aims to study welding techniques applied to repair of components made of ASTM A387 Gr.11 steel, widely used in the oil and gas industry. Due to the working conditions it is needed use materials having good strength and corrosion resistance. UNS N06625 Ni-based alloy (Inconel 625) was used as the filler metal. MIG / MAG welding process was used to apply the temper bead welding technique with two layers. The methodology of this study was divided in stages, in the first one, exploratory trials were carried out to define the relevance of the studied control factors. In the second step, hardness and microstructure criteria were applied for defining the best heat input relations for the application of the double layer technique. The double layer technique was effective in improving the properties of the microstructure in heat affect zone coatings, it was found intense grain refinement. There was also a reduction in microhardness and hardness measurements. For both used shielding gases (Ar + 25% He and Ar + 4% CO2) have been achieved heat input relations with positive deviations. In all these relations the heat input of the second layer is greater than the heat input of the first layer. Key-words:Coating; Repair; Do...

Flexible pipelines connect offshore platforms to subsea production systems due to their high flexibility, applicability, and recycling. Flexible armor layers in flexible pipelines are constructed using the parallel helical wrapping of several rectangular wires. The complex stress modes to which pipelines are subjected provide complex failure modes that are mostly unpredictable, requiring expensive pipeline integrity verification methods. This work investigates texture and microstructure evolution in pearlite-drawn wires due to different heat treatments. The material was subjected to annealing and isothermal heat treatments to obtain changes in its microstructure and texture. The changes were characterized using SEM, XRD, and EBSD techniques. Samples were subjected to tensile testing to evaluate their mechanical properties. This work revealed that annealing and isothermal treatments mainly modify the material microstructure, whereas annealing provides a material with grains with ease of deformation. In contrast, isothermal treatment provides grain growth with high internal energy and more deformation resistance. Annealing increases the intensity of all texture components, while isothermal treatment reduces intensity. These findings provide insights into the relationship between material properties and heat treatments, which can be used to optimize the design and performance of flexible pipelines, thereby reducing the need for expensive integrity verification methods.
