Protection of environment from industrialization and urbanization waste is the prime duty of engineers and researchers. Elimination of industrial waste completely is not possible because it is generally a byproduct of the process. It can be minimized by recycling or reusing. In this research, waste slag generated by steel plant is recycled as a useful flux for submerged arc welding. It is found that recycled slag is capable of producing acceptable weld bead geometry. The penetration achieved using recycled slag is 7.897[Formula: see text]mm, which is more than the penetration obtained using fresh flux, i.e. 6.027[Formula: see text]mm. The reinforcement produced by recycled slag is 2.632[Formula: see text]mm, which is close to the reinforcement obtained using fresh flux. It is further observed that chemistry of weld metal deposited using recycled slag is also at par with that of weld metal produced using fresh original flux. The amount of carbon present in weld metal produced by recycled slag is 0.15%, which is comparable to the percentage of carbon present in weld metal produced using fresh flux. The microstructure and microhardness obtained using recycled slag are also comparable with the microstructure and microhardness obtained using fresh flux. This research established the feasibility of recycling slag as a flux required for submerged arc welding process.

In submerged arc welding (SAW), weld quality is greatly affected by the weld parameters such as welding current, traverse speed, arc voltage and stickout since they are closely related to weld joint. The joint quality can be defined in terms of properties such as weld bead geometry and mechanical properties. There are several control parameters which directly or indirectly affect the response parameters. In the present study, an attempt has been made to search an optimal parametric combination, capable of producing desired high quality joint in submerged arc weldment by Taguchi method coupled with weighted principal component analysis. In the present investigation three process variables viz. Wire feed rate (Wf), stick out (So) and traverse speed (Tr) have been considered and the response parameters are hardness, tensile strength (Ts), toughness (IS).

The influence of nanoscale refractory titanium carbide particles on the structure and properties of weld metal in automatic submerged arc welding is considered. Composite granules based on nickel were used to introduce the compound into the composition of the weld pool. Two schemes for introducing granules into the weld pool were tested, characterized by different temperature conditions: to the head part of the welding pool with the help of “ligature” and to the tail section with the help of additional filler wire. The prospects of introducing nano-sized titanium carbide into the tail part of the weld pool as part of a flux-cored wire are shown. With this method, the structure of the weld metal is observed to modify: the average size of the primary crystals of the weld metal is reduced by almost 50%. At the same time, the value of the toughness of the weld metal increases: the average value of this index increases by 36%. When titanium carbide is introduced as part of the “ligature” into the head of the weld pool, despite the effect of modifying (reducing the width of the primary crystals by 30%), the average value of the toughness of the weld metal decreases.

Determination of distortions are important while designing the arc-welded joints. These distortions occur in a varied way in almost every type of welded joint, depending on several parameters, i.e. welding speed, plate thickness, welding current and voltage, restraints applied to the job while welding, thermal history, etc. In the present work a numerical model based on the finite element package ANSYS was developed for single-pass single-sided submerged arc welding of square butt joints. Suitable macros were developed to simulate the situation of a moving distributed heat source, metal deposition to account for top and bottom reinforcements, a time step, and a meshing scheme. In this model the effect of bead geometry was incorporated. The effect of filler metal deposition was taken into account by implementing the element birth and death technique. Submerged arc welding (SAW) can be conveniently used to weld a range of plate thicknesses in a single run using a suitable backing strip achieving adequate top and bottom reinforcements. The welding methodology established in the present work resulted in minimizing angular distortions in butt welds. The numerical model yielded results comparing well with those of the experimental ones.

Up to now, two kinds of filler metal with or without nickel element for submerged arc welding have been largely used in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) manufacturing. In order to study the effect of nickel element on weld metal properties of SA-508 Gr.3 Cl.1, submerged arc welding material with nickel (AWS classification F8P4-EGN-F2N, F2 for short) and welding material without nickel (F8P4-EA3N-A3N, A3 for short) were used; and conventional mechanical properties, low-cycle fatigue test, and proton irradiation analysis of the two weld metals were studied. Results show that the mechanical properties of the two different weld metals are similar, except that the Charpy V-notch impact property of the weld metal with nickel is better than that without nickel; the micro-structures of F2 and A3 weld metals are both composed of ferrite base and granular bainite, but the columnar grain size of F2 weld metal is smaller relatively, which results in better impact property. In addition, the irradiated A3 weld metal has fewer dislocation loops than the irradiated F2 weld metal after the same proton irradiation dose; the irradiated weld metals both have higher micro-Vickers hardness than before.
