Abstract New technology of micro-jet welding could be regarded as a new way to improve mechanical properties of plug welds. The main purpose of that paper was analyzing of mechanical properties of plug welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling. The main way for it was comparison of plug welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling and plug welds made by ordinary MIG welding method. It is interesting for steel because higher amount of acicular ferrite (AF) in weld metal deposit (WMD) is obtained in MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling in relation to ordinary MIG welding method. This article presents the influence of the cooling medium and the number of micro-jet streams on mechanical properties of the welded joint. Mechanical properties were described by force which is necessary to destroy weld joint.

New technology of micro-jet welding could be regarded as a new way to improve plastic properties of welds. The main purpose of that paper was analysing of plastic properties of welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling. The main reason of it was investigate possibilities of getting better plastic properties of welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling than plastic properties of welds made by ordinary welding method. It is possible for steel because higher amount of acicular ferrite (AF) in weld metal deposit (WMD) is obtained in MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling in relation to ordinary welding method (example: MIG welding method without micro-jet cooling). Moreover, it is possible to steering of weld structure and properties of the weld. During research Erichsen cupping tests and bending tests were carried out for welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling and ordinary welding method (MIG). Different kind of cooling gases were used to weld cooling. In this case comparison of plastic properties for different cooling gases was done. High amount of acicular ferrite influences positively on plastic properties. Higher values of plastic parameters were observed for welds made by MIG method with micro-jet cooling than for ordinary welding method. Different plastic properties were obtained for different cooling gases. In this research welds made by new method of welding (welding with micro-jet cooling) were compared witch welds made by ordinary welding method. New method of welding is very promising and capable of industrial application, mainly due to the significant improvement of weld properties and quality. That research was made only for steel welding with using MIG welding method. Another method of welding and another material were not tested. Other methods of welding have not been tested, but it is suspected that similar phenomena are taking place. Practical implications MIG method with micro-jet cooling it is way to get better plastic properties of welds in relation to welds made by ordinary welding method. It is very important because it could be used to steering of mechanical properties of welded constructions. This may have a positive impact on the parameters of the welding process (example: welding speed) and the quality of welded joints.

The article focuses on mild steel welding and covers the new possibilities of that method. Since 2011 innovate welding technology based on micro-jet cooling just after welding is being checked. Weld metal deposit (WMD) was carried out for standard MIG welding and for new welding method with micro-jet cooling. A very high percentage of acicular ferrite (AF) in WMD was gettable (55-75%) for low alloy welding with micro-jet cooling injector. This beneficial structure (very high amount of AF) is unusual to observe in WMD in other welding methods. This method is very promising mainly due to the significant improvement of weld quality and reduces costs. Furthermore impact toughness and strengths of WMD were carried out. The present paper aims at outlining same of the recent innovations in MIG welding which represent steps ahead to achieve the objectives outlined above.

Fatigue tests are carried out for 16MnR welded joint under constant strain control. Test results reveal that 16MnR weld metal exhibits characteristic of cyclic softening and non-masing obviously. The strain–life curve can be best described by the three-parameter equation. It shows the fatigue endurance limit in the heat-affecting zone (HAZ) of welded joint is lower than that in the weld metal.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of lap fillet welded joints of several high and ultra-high tensile strength steel by arc welding were investigated. Steel plates having tensile strength of 400 (SPH400W), 590 (SPC590Y, SPC590R), 980 (SPC980Y) and 1500 MPa (SAC1500HP) class with 2 mm thickness were prepared. Four types of joints were formed by MAG welding; SPH400W/SPH400W, SPC590Y/SPC590Y, SPC980Y/SPC980Y and SAC1500HP/SPC590R. In joints with SPC590Y, SPC980Y and SAC1500HP steel which matrixes are martensitic microstructures, the HAZ softens due to transformation of martensite into ferrite with precipitating cementite. By using high and ultra-high tensile strength steel, the weld metal is strengthened due to dilution of the matrix into the weld metal and thus tensile shear strength of the welded joint increases. In the fatigue test, similar S-N diagrams were obtained in the all welded joints investigated. It seems that the effect of stress concentration due to the shape of the welded joint on fatigue properties is larger than that of the strength of the matrix.

The weldablity of dissimilar steel between 16MnR and S31803 was analyzed and researched. By means of optical microscope (OM), the microstructure of the weld joint was investigated, which is welded by tungsten inert gas arc backing welding (GTAW) and manual arc filling welding (SMAW). The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the welded joint was also tested and studied. Results indicate that austenite and acicular ferrite distribute uniformly in the weld metal, which strengths the toughness and ductility of the joint. The austenite content in weld is higher than that in over-heated zone of S31803.The SMAW joint structure is coarsening than that of GTAW and has more austenite content. It is also observed that there are a decarburization layer and a carbon-enriched zone nearby the fusion line. And very small amounts of the third phase of harmful metal phase are found in the fusion zone of S31803 side. The welded joint shows the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The impact toughness of the weld metal is higher than in HAZ of 16MnR side, and the impact toughness at GTAW side and in HAZ is superior to the SMAW side.

The application of electron beam sweep makes it possible to carry out multifocal and multi-beam welding, as well as combine the welding process with local heating or subsequent heat treatment, which is important when preparing products from thermally-hardened materials. This paper presents a method of electron beam welding (EBW) with dynamic beam positioning and its experimental-calculation results regarding the formation of structures and properties of heat-resistant steel welded joints (grade of steel 20Cr3MoWV). The application of electron beam oscillations in welding makes it possible to change the shape and dimensions of welding pool. It also affects the crystallization and formation of a primary structure. It has been established that EBW with dynamic beam positioning increases the weld metal residence time and the thermal effect zone above the critical A3 point, increases cooling time and considerably reduces instantaneous cooling rates as compared to welding without beam sweep. Also, the difference between cooling rates in the depth of a welded joint considerably reduces the degree of structural non-uniformity. A bainitic–martensitic structure is formed in the weld metal and the thermal effect zone throughout the whole depth of fusion. As a result of this structure, the level of mechanical properties of a welded joint produced from EBW with dynamic electron beam positioning approaches that of parent metal to a greater extent than in the case of welding by a static beam. As a consequence, welding of heat-resistant steels reduces the degree of non-uniformity of mechanical properties in the depth of welded joints, as well as decreases the level of hardening of a welded joint in relation to parent metal.
