AS WELDED
BY DAVID J. KEATS
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.

Sample D1 & D1.1 - Single pass fillet weld using 3.2mm Barracuda electrodes on 8.0mm plate in H-V position.
The welding parameters were set as follows. Amps: Volts: Polarity: ROL: Arc Energy: 160-165 28-30 DC Ve electrode 190mm/min 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.
The welding parameters were set as follows: Root Pass (1st pass) Amps: 160-165 Volts: 28-30 Polarity: DC Ve electrode ROL: 190mm/min Arc Energy: 1.41-1.57kj/ mmS-1 Fill & Cap (2nd and 3rd pass) 150-155 28-30 DC-Ve electrode 190-250mm/min 1.18-1.33kj/ mmS-1
These welds were subjected to tensile tests; see test report numbers S401924 & S402322 for further details.
NOTE: welds made under winter weather conditions, with typical air temperatures of 0-1oC recorded.
Sample D2 & D2.1 - Multipass fillet weld made underwater using 4.0mm Barracuda electrodes on 10mm plate in H-V position.
The welding parameters were set as follows: Root Pass (1st pass) Amps: 190-195 Volts: 28-32 Polarity: DC Ve electrode ROL: 175m/min Arc Energy: 1.83kj/ mmS-1 Fill & Cap (2nd and 3rd pass) 180-190 28-32 DC-Ve electrode 190-250mm/min 1.48-1.59kj/ mmS-1

Sample E1, E1.1, F1 & F1.1 - Single & multipass fillet weld made using 3.2 and 4.0mm Barracuda electrodes on 8.0 and 10.0mm plate in H-V position.
Shows general weld/joint preparation. The welding parameters were set as follows: Root Pass (1st pass) 3.2mm Amps: 160-165 Volts: 28-30 Polarity: DC Ve electrode ROL: 190-210mm/min Arc Energy: 1.41 1.45kj/mmS-1 Fill & Cap (2nd and 3rd pass) 4.0mm 180-195 28-32 DC-Ve electrode 190-230mm/min 1.59 1.64kj/mm S-1
Welds were subjected to macro and hardness surveys; see report s S405256, S401927, S402314, and S402315.
