The effect of Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of low carbon steel have been investigated. The welding process was conducted on butt joint using Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW) techniques at a welding voltage of 23 V and welding current of 110 A with the use of E6013 and 3.2 mm diameter as filler material. Heat treatment through full annealing was carried out on the welded low carbon steel. The mechanical properties (hardness, impact toughness and tensile properties) of the AW and PWHT samples were determined. The microstructure of the AW and PWHT samples was characterized by means of an optical microscopy. Corrosion behavior of the sample was studied in3.5 wt.% NaCl environment using potentiodynamic polarization method. The results showed that the AW samples has good combination of mechanical and corrosion properties. The microstructure revealed fine grains of pearlite randomly dispersed in the ferrite for the AW base metal (BM) sample while agglomerated and fine particle of epsilon carbide or cementite randomly dispersed on the ferritic phase of the heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal (WM), of the AW, respectively. The PWHT samples shows that the annealing process allow diffusion and growth of the fine grains into partial coarse grains of ferrite and pearlite which did not encourage improvement of the properties. Therefore, it was concluded that the welding parameters put in place during welding of the low carbon steel are optimum for quality weld.

Experimental investigations were carried out to study the effect of weld joint designs and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on mechanical and corrosion properties of low carbon steel. Butt, bevel and half-lap joints were produced with a voltage of 20 V and current of 110 A with the use of 3.2 mm diameter electrode E6013. Full annealing was carried out on part of the welded samples in order to consider the possibility of post weld heat treatment for better performance. The mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and impact toughness) were studied for both the as welded (AW) and PWHT samples as well as the corrosion performance in a natural sea water environment containing 3.5 wt.% NaCl using potentiodynamic polarization method. The microstructure of the AW and PWHT samples of the welded joints with the most promising mechanical and corrosion properties were then characterized by means of an optical microscopy. The results obtained reveals that the bevel joint followed by half lap joint and the butt joint of the as weld samples gave the best combination of the mechanical properties considered. On the other hand, the corrosion properties of the butt joint were superior to that of the bevel and half lap joint, respectively in the PWHT condition as compared to the AW samples. This implies that PWHT improves the corrosion resistance of the welded steel joints.
