The occurrence of nonconformities in prosthetics or medical instruments as a result of the manufacturing process or final machining (finishing) may lead to the decision of not using them in the medical process. The present paper aims to analyze the welding reconditioning possibilities in order to ensure the necessary geometrical characteristics, using the method of finite element analysis (FEA), of the interlocking intramedullary nail prosthetics made of titanium or titanium alloys. After identifying the nonconfor...

In the automotive industry, but also in other sectors, since the 80s one of the most used methods of reconditioning is welding. In this way, various technologies have been developed for each batch taking into consideration their characteristics and use. To observe and determine the correctness and economic impact of these technologies, the samples must be checked by different types of destructive and non-destructive standard tests.The most demanding destructive testing on samples is the fatigue test with alternati...

The paper presents and analyzes the experimental results obtained by the welding reconditioning of a pressure vessel made of 14CrMoV4, a Romanian trade of steel, which is the equivalent of 13CrMo4-5, in the European norm 10028-2/2009, steel, which functioned for a long period of time in the energetic industry. The welding process used for reconditioning is robotized gas metal arc welding (GMAW). A series of samples were realized using different technological parameters in order to obtain different geometrical conf...
