Figure 180: The superficial appearance of some of the pipes welded in the experiment<br />

and some additional pipe welding runs not presented in the experiment. The top and<br />

center sample is a TIG weld. ........................................................................................... 201<br />

and some additional pipe welding runs not presented in the experiment. Left and bottom<br />

is a TIG weld sample. ..................................................................................................... 202<br />

Figure 184: Left is a pipe sample used for tensile coupons of the parent material and<br />

geometry. Right are pipe sections joined in the experiment. .......................................... 204<br />

Figure 185: A diagram illustrating the tool offest with respect to the highest point of the<br />

rotating pipe sections. The offset is parallel to the weld seam and results in the desired<br />

contact condition. This offset configuration reduced vibration and improved weld quality<br />

in comparison to the case without offset. ........................................................................ 205<br />
