Weld Heat

In the present study, MIG welding is carried out on low carbon steel type (AISI 1015) by using electrode ER308L of 1.5mm diameter with direct current straight polarity (DCSP). The joint geometry is of a single V-butt joint with one pass welding stroke for different plate thicknesses of 6, 8, and 10 mm. In welding experiments, AISI 1015 plates with dimensions of 200×100mm and edge angle of 60o from both sides are utilized. In this work, three main parameters related to MIG welding process are investigated, which are welding current, welding speed, heat input and plate thickness, and to achieve that three groups of plates are employed each one consists of three plates. The results indicate that increasing the weld heat input (through changing the current and voltage) leads to an increase in widmanstatten ferrite (WF), acicular ferrite (AF) and polygonal ferrite (PF) in FZ region, and a reduction in grain size. It is observed that the micro-hardness of welded AISI 1015 plate increases as the weld heat input decreases. As well as increasing the weld heat input results in an increase in the width of WM and HAZ and a reduction in the impact energy of the weld joint of AISI 1015 at WM region. Also, it is noted the corrosion rate of weld joint increases with increase of Icorr due to increasing in welding current (heat input), corrosion rate increased up to (0.126µm/yr.) with increasing of heat input up to (1.27 KJ/mm).

Aiming at the welding arc can act with the magnetic field, has electrical quasi-neutral and electrical conductivity. This paper introduced an adscititious longitudinal magnetic field to control the CO2 welding process and used the Hanover Welding Quality Analyzer to acquire the real-time welding signal. Meanwhile, the short circuit behavior of CO2 welding under the adscititious longitudinal magnetic field, was monitored with the High-speed Photography System. The results show that when the excitation current in an optimal range, the welding current decay and the frequency of short circuit transition is uniform and faster, smaller droplet size and the welding process is more stability than welding without adscititious magnetic field.

Arc length is a crucial parameter of the manual metal arc (MMA) welding process, as it influences the arc voltage and the resulting welded joint. In the MMA method, the process’ stability is mainly controlled by the skills of a welder. According to that, giving the feedback about the arc length as well as the welding speed to the welder is a valuable property at the stage of weld training and in the production of welded elements. The proposed solution is based on the application of relatively cheap Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) cameras to track the welding electrode tip and to estimate the geometrical properties of welding arc. All measured parameters are varying during welding. To validate the results of image processing, arc voltage was measured as a reference value describing in some part the process stability.

In this paper, SAF2507 duplex stainless steel (DSS) was welded by GTAW with ER2594 as filler wire, and Ar + N2 as shielding gas. The results show that, with increasing the content of N2 in the shielding gas, the amount of austenite in weld metal increase, the micro-hardness drops and impact energy increases; the use of Ar +2 ~ 3% N2 welding parameters, the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joints are the best, the austenitic rates and impact energy of weld metals are 51%~53% and 75~88 J, respectively, and the welding process is easy to control; when the content of N2 reach 5%, the impact energy of weld metal decreases obviously and the welding arc is unstable.

The generating, floating and collapsing of arc bubble is a special phenomenon in underwater flux-cored wet welding. The configuration changing process of bubble will change the stress on droplet and influence the droplet transfer process. In this study, the shape changing of bubble is captured in graphic and the real-time electric signal data is obtained. The impact of bubble floating and collapsing results in the globular repelled transfer mode, which also reduces the arc stability. A self-designed gas-shield cover is used as a bubble constraint device to improve the welding process stability and weld appearances by limiting the free floating and expansion of arc bubble. The relationships between the cover diameter and the characteristics of weld appearance are studied.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

This present work explored the welding process of gas metal arc welding for 4mm 5E61 Er-containing aluminum alloy, and then analyzed the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joint. The results demonstrated that when the welding current was 160A-220A, the welded joint penetration depth range was 5.75mm to 6.72mm, the melting width ranging from 9.68mm to 11.61mm. When the arc voltage increased from 17.5V to 22.5V, the penetration depth of the welded joint reduced from 6.95mm to 5.57mm, and the melting width ranged from 6.64mm to 11.86mm. When the welding current was 170A, the arc voltage was 17.5V, and the welding speed was 10mm/s. In the third case, a fully penetrated welded joint can be obtained and the joint strength was the highest value. The yield strength reached 192 MPa, the tensile strength can be 301 MPa, and the fracture location occurred in the HAZ. The weld zone of the welded joint mainly consist of the equiaxed dendrites size of 50 μm. The micro-hardness of the weld zone was lower than that of the base metal, and there was no obvious softening phenomenon in the heat affected zone.

Welding in pulsed current is specific to welding procedures carried out in MIG / MAG and WIG shielding gases environment, and which is appealling from both technological and process quality points of view because of the advantages this procedure provides, especially controlling the transfer mode and the power introduced into components. Making use of pulsed current in manual welding with coated electrodes is a new challenge to modern inverter based sources with potential technological advantages. In this case the advantage of pulsed current is linked to controlling the molten metal bath, its volume as a result of partial solidification, similar to the manual WIG welding using low frequency pulsed current < 5 Hz. The paper presents some technological issues related to the use of pulsed current in the case of manual welding with coated electrodes by arc oscillograpy. Experimental research aimed at recording the shapes of current pulses for different brands of electrodes and diameters, and for different parameters of welding current, different levels of pulses frequency respectively, and the oscillograms analysis through the variation of welding current and arc voltage in order to explain phenomena occurring in the arc when welding. This will allow also a better understanding of the technological issues in the case of manual welding with coated electrode in pulsed current.

The Impact

The basic aim of this study was to find a relationship between heat input and mechanical properties of high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) welded joints and also elaborate its effect on microstructure. The combined effect of welding current, voltage and speed i.e. Heat Input on mechanical properties of High Strength Low Alloy Steel (ASTM A242 type-II) weldments have been studied in the present work. HSLA steel work pieces were welded by Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process under varying welding current, arc voltage, and welding speed. Total nine samples were prepared at different heat input level i.e. 1.872 kJ/mm, 1.9333 kJ/mm, 2.0114 kJ/mm, 2.1 kJ/mm, 2.1956 kJ/mm, 2.296 kJ/mm, 2.4 kJ/mm, 2.5067 kJ/mm and 2.6154 kJ/mm It was observed that as heat input increases the ultimate tensile strength and microhardness of weldment decreased while impact strength increased and it was also observed that on increasing the heat input grain size of microstructure tends to coarsening it is only due to decreasing in cooling rate.
