    Abstract: A method of joining heavy duty oilfield, well, or other tubulars includes the step of joining the tubulars by forge welding and flushing a reducing flushing gas around the heated tubular ends during at least part of the forge welding operation such that oxides are removed from the forge welded tubular ends and the amount of oxide inclusions and irregularities between the forge welded tubular ends is limited. The tubular ends may have a teethed sinusoidal or other non-planar shape to inhibit any abrupt variations of the wall strength in the welding area and/or to reduce shear forces to the forge weld when the tubulars are twisted and/or radially expanded.

    Abstract: A method for inspecting welds between welded tubular ends includes arranging a series electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) assemblies in circumferential direction adjacent to an inner and/or outer surface of at least one of the welded tubular ends and inducing the EMAT assemblies to transmit sequentially or simultaneously acoustic shear wave signals towards the weld and to detect the shear waves reflected by and/or passing through the weld while the EMAT assemblies are maintained in a substantially fixed position relative to the weld such that at least a substantial part of the weld is scanned by the EMAT assemblies instantly after the weld is made.
