The aimed of this research is to determine the feasibility and effect of the mixture of the shielding gas in the physical and mechanical properties. Low carbon steel LR grade A in a thickness 12 mm were joined in butt joint types using GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) with groove’s gap 5 mm and groove angle’s 400 with variation of shielding gas composition. The composition of shielding gas that used were 100% Ar, 100 % CO2 and 50% Ar + 50 % CO2. The measured of mechanical properties with regard to strength, hardness and toughness using, tensile test, bending test, Vickers hardness Test, and Charpy impact test respectively. The physical properties examined with optical microscope. Results show that tensile strength of welding metals are higher than raw materials. Welds metal with mixing Ar + CO shielding gas has the highest tensile strength. Hardness of weld metals with the shielding gas 100% Ar, 100 % CO2 and 50% Ar + 50 % CO2 are 244.9; 209.4; and 209.4 VHN respectively. The temperature of Charpy test was varied to find the transition temperature of the materials. The temperature that used were –60°C, -40°C, -20°C, 0°C, 20°C , and room temperature. Weld metals with various shielding gas have similar trends of toughness flux that was corellated with the microstructure of weld .

The research was study the effect of gas metal arc welding process parameters on mechanical property. The specimen was carbon steel ASTM A285 grade A which thickness of 6 mm. The experiments with full factorial design. The factors used in this study are shielding gas and voltage. The welded specimens were tested by tensile strength testing and hardness testing according to ASME boiler and pressure vessel code section IX 2007. The result showed that both of shielding gas and voltage had interaction on tensile strength and hardness at 95% confidential (P value < 0.05). Factors affecting the tensile strength are the most carbon dioxide and 27 voltage were tensile strength 213.43 MPa. And hardness maximum of 170.60 HV can be used carbon dioxide and 24 voltage. This research can be used as data in the following appropriate parameters to gas metal arc welding process.

AbstractLow carbon steel material and T-joints are frequently used in ship building and steel constructions. Advantages such as high deposition rates, high quality and smooth weld metals and easy automation make cored wires preferable in these industries. In this study, low carbon steel materials with web and flange thicknesses of 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm were welded with conventional GMAW and double channel shielding gas metal arc welding (DMAG) method to form double fillet T-joints using metal cored wire. The difference between these two methods were characterized by measurements of mean welding parameters, Vickers hardness profiles, weld bead and HAZ geometry of the joints and thermal camera temperature measurements. When weld bead and HAZ geometries are focused, it was seen filler metal molten area increased and base metal molten area decreased in DMAG of low carbon steel. When compared with traditional GMAW, finer and acicular structures in weld metal and more homogenous and smaller grains in HAZ are obtained with double channel shielding gas metal arc welding.

The article describes a replacement and benefits between manual gas metal arc welding (GMAW) with solid wire and semi-automatic flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) with metal flux-cored wire for a specific application of a welded steel compensator used for connecting piping systems to form larger units. For the replacement of the technologies and improvement of the welding efficiency and productivity a specific type of carbon steel mounting insert, DN300 PN16, was selected. Since these pressure parts are subject to the directive 2014/68/EU, both the welding processes have to meet the same welding quality requirements. In particular, they are the welding procedure qualification report (WPQR) and the welder’s or welding operator’s qualification in accordance with valid European standards. Based on this requirement, a sample was selected so that it would cover the widest possible range of carbon steel mounting inserts produced. This article describes the whole experiment including the selection of the right equipment and filler material, finding the ideal welding parameters, and the subsequent qualification of the welding procedure and the operator with emphasis on the largest possible increase in the welding speed and productivity for these specific weldments.

SS400/SUS304 steels lap joint was applied in various industries due to flexible andbeneficial properties of these dissimilar metals joint. Therefore, an investigation for optimization ofa gas metal arc welding (GMAW) for producing the dissimilar metal lap joint should be conductedfor advancing the manufacturing industries. This research applied GMAW with various currents andspeeds to weld SS400/SUS304 lap joint and studied the relationship between the parameters andresuted joint properties. The experiment showed that an increase in the wedling current and a decreasein the welding speed affected to increase the fracture strength, the displacement of the lap joint, andthe joint hardness due to high combination of the materials at the joint interface. The uncombinedmaterials at the carbon steel/weld metal interface had the different hardness and resulted to initiatethe crack that then was propergated until the joint was broken. The weld metal showed the formationof the finer and smaller dendrite structure with increasing the welding current and decreasing thewelding speed.
