In this work, gas metal arc welding of AISI 304 stainless steel at varying compositions of argon-CO2 shielding environment was performed using an established optimum parametric combination. Thereafter, investigations on the microstructure of the welded joints and mechanical properties of the weldments were carried out. Weldments of excellent surface quality that are void of spatters and pores were obtained when the shielding gas composition (wt.%) range is between 100% argon and 75% argon - 25% CO2. Increasing percentage composition of CO2 beyond 25% resulted in irregular bead formation characterized with spatters and pores. The hardness of the welded joint became significantly high as the CO2 composition in the shielding gas increased. The highest value of 310 HV was obtained when the shielding gas composition was 5% argon- 95% CO2. The least (220 HV) was obtained when the shielding gas was 100% argon. High ultimate tensile strength (596 - 378 MPa) was achieved when the shielding gas composition range is between 100% argon and 75% argon-25% CO2. The UTS dropped significantly as the CO2 composition in the shielding gas increased beyond 25%. It decreased from 336 MPa at 70% argon-30% CO2 shielding gas composition to 133 MPa when 100% CO2 was utilized as the shielding gas. At the end, the effects of the CO2 addition and suitable composition of CO2 addition to argon shielding environment during GMAW of AISI 304 stainless steel have been established.

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 .

This paper deals with the effects of shielding gas mixtures (100% CO2, 100% Ar and 80 % Ar [Formula: see text] 20% CO[Formula: see text] and heat input (3.00, 3.65 and 4.33[Formula: see text]kJ/mm) on the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of AISI 410[Formula: see text]S (American Iron and Steel Institute) super martensitic stainless steel (SMSS) by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. AISI 410[Formula: see text]S SMSS with 1.2[Formula: see text]mm diameter of a 410 filler wire was used in this study. A detailed microstructural analysis of the weld region as well as the mechanical properties (impact, microhardness and tensile tests at room temperature and 800[Formula: see text]C) was carried out. The tensile and impact fracture surfaces were further analyzed through scanning electron microscope (SEM). 100% Ar shielded welds have a higher amount of [Formula: see text] ferrite content and due to this fact the tensile strength of the joints is superior to the other two shielded welds.
