Temper bead

If PWHT cannot be employed, it is possible, in principle, to soften the uppermost parent metal HAZ with a temper bead. This method should not be used unless careful control can be exercised. The temper bead is an extra weld run deposited so that its toe is a small, fixed distance (typically 3 mm) from the fusion boundary and it tempers the uppermost parent metal HAZ without creating a new hardened region. 

Shellfish belong to the biological group of species known as mollusks, animals with a shell and a foot. Univalve mollusks have one shell and include many species of snails, conchs, and others. Bivalve mollusks have two shells and include clams, scallops, and oysters. There are many species of mollusks and both freshwater and salt water varieties. In addition to their use as food, shells were often used to make beads, fishhooks and other objects. Crushed shells have been used as a source of lime, for pottery temper, and as construction material. In some areas such as the South Pacific, shells of species like the cowrie have been traded as valued items over long distances and even used as money. 

Soft microstructures can be obtained by using steel with low contents of carbon and alloying elements (including manganese) to reduce the hardenability of the HAZ. Additionally, the use of a large weld bead, thin plate, and preheat will reduce the quenching rate in the HAZ. After a bead has been deposited the HAZ can be softened by tempering either as a result of subsequent weld runs or by a postweld heat treatment (PWHT or stress relief).

The ceramics from these sites exhibit exterior cordwrapped stick and paddle impressions around the rim and neck (14), The interior rim and lip of these vessels were also decorated with cordmarked motifs. Clemson Isliid sherds were distinguished from their Owasco counterparts by the presence of presence of exterior punctates and interior beads aroimd the rim (7,2). Most sherds were grit tempered with quartz, quartzite, and gneiss being major constituents (7, 75). 

This alloy has satisfactory arc weldability (with filler metal 5356), and after welding, mechanical properties equivalent to those of the parent metal in the T4 temper can be achieved. However, it shows a strong sensitivity to exfoliation corrosion in the heat-afifected zone, on either side of the welding bead (See Section B.6.4.2 and Figure B.2.11). This handicap severely limits its use in welded structures to very specific applications that are subject to frequent inspection.

Similar data have been used to predict the packing structure of silica particles as a function of size by a DEM simulation (Parteli etal, 2014).
