The effect of laser welding on the mechanical properties and the prediction of formability for austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 and ferritic steel AISI 430 when welded by a YLS-5000 fiber laser, were studied in the paper. The microstructure of the welded joint was analyzed using light microscopy. The mechanical properties were determined by static tensile testing. The forming limit diagrams were produced from notched samples at R5, R17, and R25 mm. The hardness values of the welded joint and the base material were determined using the Vickers method. Samples made of AISI 430 showed that the formability suffered due to laser welding. Longitudinal coarse ferrite grains were observed in the microstructure of the AISI 430 weld metal. The coarse-grained structure of the welded joint and the continuous interface along the centerline caused the failure of the AISI 430 laser-welded samples at significantly lower actual stress and strain values than were required to break the base material. No significant changes in the formability were observed in the AISI 304 samples after laser welding. The growth of dendrites was observed in the microstructure of the AISI 304 welded joint in a direction towards the centerline of the welded joint. A comparison of the experimentally determined FLD0 values and the values calculated from predictive equations showed that a better agreement was achieved for uniform elongation than for the strain hardening exponent. The manufacturability and economic efficiency of selected parts of an exhaust system by hydromechanical drawing were evaluated on the basis of the process capability index Cpk.

Parameters in the welding need to be known because the effect on the mechanical properties of the material after the welding process. This research purposes to find out the influence of variation of SMAW welding current on Stainless Steel AISI 304, with variation of electric current equal to 70A, 80A and 90A.The electrode of AWS A5.4 E308-16 with diameter of 2.6 mm is used. Dye penetrant test, tensile test and metallographic test applied to analysis the characteristic. Based on data from tensile test results obtained the highest value on the specimen welding current 90A is equal to 632 MPa. The lowest tensile strength value recorded on the specimens of current 70A is 498.66 MPa.

It was revealed that spatial position during laser welding of AISI 321 stainless steel influences the processes in the weld pool and the process of its crystallization. The geometry, structure, distribution of chemical elements depend on the cooling rate of the welded joint, which varies in different spatial positions during laser welding of stainless steel AISI 321. To achieve the lowest variance of results and the maximum values of mechanical characteristics of the welded joints of AISI 321 stainless steel it is recommended to produce laser welding in a vertical position.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different heat inputs on mechanical properties and microstructure of dissimilar electrical arc welded austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 and low-carbon steel (CS) joints. The mechanical properties of welded austenitic stainless steel type AISI 304 and low-CS are studied. Five different heat inputs 0.5, 0.9, 1.41, 2, and 2.5 KJ/min were applied to investigate the microstructure of the welded zone and mechanical properties. The results showed that the efficiency of the joints and tensile strength increased with increasing heat inputs, while excess heat input reduces the efficiency. Furthermore, changes in microstructure with excess heat input cause failure at the heat-affected zone.
