Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of boehmite nano-particles surface adsorbed byboric acid (BNBA) along with other input welding parameters such as welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, nozzle-to-plate distance on weld penetration. Weld penetration modeling was carried out using multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (MPANN) technique. For the sake of training the network, 70% of the obtained data from experimentation using five-level five-factor central composite rotatable design of experiments was used. The performance of the network shows a good agreement between the experimental data and the data obtained from the network. Hence, it is to be concluded that MPANN is highly accurate in predicting the weld penetration in SAW process.

Abstract
Shield metal arc welding on the high strength low alloy steels in pipelines to transport natural gas from Iran is of great importance. In this article the effects of annealing heat treatment on properties of multi pass welding in different situations (6-4:30 , 4:30-3 , 3-1:30 , 1:30-12) with 36 in outside diameter is evaluated by chemical, metallography, tensile, toughness and hardness. Tensile test results showed the lowest yield strength (Vertical to weld and in position 6-4:30) equal to 348 MPa, and the lowest energy impact (Vertical to weld and in position 1:30-3) equal to 108J. The impact energy alignment to weld had a rate of 12 percent increase before the heat treatment. The amount of hardness variation in different areas and positions is negligible (less than 5 percent). Images of metallographic test made by light and electron microscopes demonstrated that the amount of perlite cap pass weld and heat affected zone near the weld metal were decreased compared to main metal to respectively 29 and 8 percent. The elongation weld of was increased ratio than before the heat treatment in base metal respectively 75 and 23 percent. The increase rate of C, V and Ti in the weld zone according to base metal in situation of 3-4:30 are respectively 0.02, 0.003 and 0.006.

Abstract
The surface of continuous casting moulds with high number of castings may be worn or destructed. As result, an approach for increasing these moulds life is necessary. In this project, the goal is the restoration of the DHP copper sample. In this project, the destruction of the copper sample is done by creation of groove using a CNC machine. The restoration of the sample is done using OAW and filler to fill groove area. In this project, the effect of preheating temperature, filler type and heat treatment of welding area on hardness, microstructure, chemical analyses of welding area and thermal conductivity of the weld are investigated. The preheating temperature range of 300 to 450oC was selected. The Cu-P and Cu-Ag-P fillers were chosen to fill the groove of the weld area. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), micro hardness tester, optical microscope and thermal conductivity meter were employed for evaluation of the results in this project. The results showed that the increase of preheating temperature creates oxide layers and the decrease of preheating temperature causes the incomplete filling of the welding area. Finally, the preheating temperature of 400 oC was a proper choice considering the above mentioned factors. The stress relieving operation to decrease stress and preserve the mechanical properties in the temperature of 250 to 400 oC and duration two hours was carried out. The result demonstrated that the selected temperature causes no unwanted decrease on the hardness. It was also found that increasing the annealing duration, decreases the hardness of weld for Cu-P filler for Cu-Ag-P filler increasing the annealing duration, first decreases the weld hardness and then increases the weld hardness. The Cu-P filler was compared with Cu-Ag-P filler. The results showed that the Cu-Ag-P filler has less hardness (around 10 percent) than the filler without silver. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the Cu-Ag-P filler was around 10 percent more than the thermal conductivity of the Cu-P. It is obvious that the selection of the filler type depends on the type of base metal and its geometry. The results showed that the segregation in the Cu-P filler with 7.2 percent phosphorous, because of the proximity of the weld structure to the eutectic point, has slightly happened; while, the selection of the Cu-Ag-P filler with 6 percent silver caused severe segregation of silver to 90 percent silver at the center of weld at the non-dendrite area

Abstract
In the present research, the coating process of Inconel 718 powder on the H13 steel substrate by direct powder deposition method with the help of 1 KW continuous fiber laser has been investigated. Hence, the effects of process parameters such as laser power, powder feed rate and laser scanning speed on the geometrical characterstics of the clad such as height and width of the clad are examined. In order to perform a comprehensive investigation on the effect of input parameters and their interactions on the height and width of the clad, design of experiment method based on response surface methodology is employed. The results show that the laser scanning speed and powder feed rate are as the important factors affecting the clad height, so that the clad height increases with increasing powder feed rate and decreasing laser scanning rate. Also, it is proved that by increasing the laser power and decreasing the laser scanning speed the width of the clad is increased.
