Abstract:
Tests of welds are carried out inter-operatively, during the execution of the steel structure, as well as after the structure is welded, but even before its assembly. Steel structures already in service are also examined to detect potential cracks, delamination, or corrosion loss of thickness having the effect of weakening the mechanical strength of the structure. Such examinations are some the elements that comprise a structural health assessment. In this paper, the metal memory method was used to evaluate the effect of the welding method and weld temperature on the change in magnetic field strength. S235JR structural steel was used for the study, which was subjected to milling and MMA, TIG, and MIG welding. The results of measurement experiments carried out for each welding method are presented as graphs.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
