An exothermic flux for submerged arc welding process has been developed which is capable of enhancing weld penetration of the joint. For this purpose, thermit mixture in different proportions (20% and 40%) has been added to the parent flux by agglomeration process. Beads on plate were deposited using parent and developed exothermic fluxes for a comparative study. EH14 filler wires in combination with parent and exothermic fluxes were used in this investigation. The effects of welding parameters and exothermic flux on weld penetration were investigated and the results have been presented in this paper. It has been found that the penetration increases from 2.95 to 3.51[Formula: see text]mm with 40% thermit mixture addition to the parent flux. It is further observed that penetration increases with increase in the amount of thermit mixture added. A mathematical model has been developed to predict weld penetration or select suitable welding parameters to obtain the desired penetration. The significance of coefficients was tested using Student’s [Formula: see text]-test and the adequacy of developed model was tested using [Formula: see text]-test. The effects of various parameters on penetration have been presented in graphical form for better understanding.

API 5L-X65 steel is the type of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, widely used in the manufacture of pipe. Submerged arc welding (SAW) is widely used for the fabrication of the pipe, the extent of use submerged arc welding caused it could be done automatically and high reliability. The results of the welding process will lead to differences and changes in the microstructure in heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal that will affect the mechanical properties of the output, so as to obtain good welding results required the selection of welding parameters accordingly. As the use of the heat input during welding is very important influence on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the weld. The purpose of this study to determine the effect of heat input on the microstructure, hardness and toughness of welds in submerged arc welding. Welding currents used were 200, 300, 400 and 500 Ampere with a voltage were used 25, 27 and 30 Volt. The results showed that the higher heat input will result in a growing area of HAZ region width and grain size increased. Highest hardness values are the results of the weld heat input with a low of 244.69 HVN caused by the rapid cooling rate of the weld area. The highest toughness values are the results of the highest heat input that was dominated by acicular ferrite phase.

In this study, a Numerical model is carried out to study the effect of welding parameters on the temperature variations in Submerged Arc Welding process (SAW) with moving heat source model (Gaussian distribution) by using finite difference method (FDM). The proposed method is validated from the experimental results and found is in good agreement with results obtained by experimental. The mathematical model of transient thermal is also recognized to simulate Peak temperature. Finally Parametric effects on temperature profiles based on numerical results, are carried out for different weld parameters including welding speed, heat input, and plate thickness. It has been shown that all those parameters are playing an essential role in affecting the temperature distribution.

In this paper, the influence of double wire submerged arc welding parameters on the mechanical properties of high strength low alloy has been investigated. The 20mm steel plate has been welded by double wire submerged arc welding process using different welding parameters. The Charpy absorbed energy of specimens is assessed using impact test at the temperature of -50°C. Testing results show that high heat input parameters will lead to low strength of welded joint. Impact toughness of fusion line is lower than that of other areas of welded joint.

The high-strength low-alloy microalloyed steel was procured as a hot rolled plate with accelerated cooling. The Gleeble thermal simulated process involved heating the steel specimens to the peak temperature of 1400 °C, with constant cooling rates of 3.75 °C/s and 2 °C/s to room temperature. The four-wire tandem submerged arc welding process, with different heat input, was used to generate a welded microstructure. The martensite/austenite constituent appeared in the microstructure of the heat affected zone region for all the specimens along the prior-austenite grain boundaries and between bainitic ferrite laths. The blocky-like and stringer martensite/austenite morphology were observed in the heat affected zone regions. The martensite/austenite constituents were obtained by a combination of field emission scanning electron microscopes and image analysis software The Charpy absorbed energy of specimens was assessed using Charpy impact testing at-50 °C. Brittle particles, such as martensite/austenite constituent along the grain boundaries, can make an easy path for crack propagation. Similar crack initiation sites and growth mechanism were investigated for specimens welded with different heat input values.

The quality of joining has assumed a greater role in fabrication of metal in recent years, because of the development of new alloys with tremendously increased strength and toughness. Submerged arc welding is a high heat input fusion welding process in which weld is produced by moving localized heat source along the joint. The weld quality in turn affected by thermal cycle that the weldment experiences during the welding. In the present study a simple comprehensive mathematical model has been developed using a moving heat source and analyzing the temperature on one section and then the temperature distribution of other section are correlated with time delay with reference analyzed section.
