  • Patent number: 10518359
    Abstract: The present relates to a method of welding in deep joints in narrow-gap geometry. The two metallic components are arranged next to each other such that there is nearly a zero gap between the two components. The step of joining two metallic components is performed in two stages, the first stage being a root weld and the second stage being a fill up weld. The root weld is completed at the joining of the two discs starting from a middle portion to a point up to which there is still a zero gap between the two discs. From the point there exists a non-zero gap between the two discs up to an outer portion. The filler gap is filled by fill up welding. During fill up welding, a filler wire is melted along with the two discs by using the first source of energy, and to fill the filler gap along with molten material of the two discs.
