Abstract: A method produces a welded connection between first and second components each having inner and outer sides interconnected by an end face. The first component has a ferritic basic body carrying a plating at the inside and having an end face with a buffer layer of Ni-based alloy. The second component is of austenitic material. The end faces of the components enclose a weld groove. An austenitic root, connecting the plating to the end face of the second component, is welded in the weld groove. An intermediate layer of a nickel alloy having at least 90% nickel is welded onto the root. The intermediate layer is connected to the end faces of the plating and the second component. A weld seam is then produced in the remaining weld groove using a nickel-based welding additive. A method for repairing a welded connection between first and second components is also provided.

Abstract: A method of welding two work pieces that define a connecting zone between them is described. A friction pin is fed at a starting point into the connecting zone and into opposite regions of the work pieces on both sides of the connecting zone. The friction pin is moved in a welding direction along the connecting zone resulting in the work pieces being welded. The friction pin is led out of the connecting zone after welding the work pieces. The friction pin is fed into a sacrificial element while lifting the friction pin.

Abstract: A burner for WIG-welding for a welding seam having a rod-shaped tungsten electrode with an electrode tip facing the welding seam, a welding wire guide and a protective-gas feed includes a coolant line connected to the electrode and formed of two adjacent channels extending as feed and discharge lines on mutually opposite sides of the electrode, the electrode tip projecting through a heat-resistant insulating cap overlapping ends of the coolant channels which face towards the electrode tip, and the protective-gas feed including protective-gas feed lines insulatedly fastened to a side of the coolant channels facing away from the electrode, the protective-gas feed lines having a region extending out of the insulating cap and formed with outlet openings directed towards the welding seam.
