Underwater repair of fatigue cracks by gas tungsten arc welding process

ABSTRACT A fatigue crack repair method for offshore jacket tubular joints is presented. This method is applicable for fatigue cracks detected and sized by regular inspection techniques such as magnetic particle inspection up to a crack depth in the range of 5 mm. The main advantage of the method rel...
