The mechanical and physical characteristics of gray cast iron are intricately bound to its application as an essential material in manufacturing various goods. SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) is the most simple and widely used electric arc welding method. In this work, ASTM A48 gray cast iron Class 40 was joining using the SMAW method with the welding position used was 1G or underhand position. The joining used is the Butt Joint using an open Singel V seam with a current of 120A. The joining of Welding was characterized through dye penetrant and hardness tests. Rockwell hardness tests on base metal and heat affected zone reveal that the heat affected zone has the highest hardness value of 56.5 HRC, while the base metal has the lowest hardness value (41 HRC). Graphite, pearlite, and pearlite were all visible in the microstructure study.

Crack Susceptibility

The heating and cooling at the end of the welding process can cause residual stresses that are permanent and remain in the welded joint. This study aims to evaluate the magnitude and direction of residual stresses on the base metal and heat-affected zone of rail joints welded by the manual shielded metal arc and thermite welding. This research supports the feasibility of welding for rail. The material used in this study is the R-54 rail type, and the procedure used two rail samples of one meter long each, welded using manual shielded metal arc welding and thermite welding. The base metal and heat-affected zone of the welded joints were scanned with neutron ray diffraction. The scan produces a spectrum pattern and reveals the direction of the residual stress along with it. We found the strain value contained in both types of welded joints by looking at the microstrain values, which we obtained using the Bragg equation. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the residual stress produced by manual shielded metal arc welding and thermite welding are not the same. Thermite welding produces lower residual stress (lower crack susceptibility) than manual shielded metal arc welding. The melt's freezing starts from the edge to the center of the weld to create random residual stresses. The residual stress results of both the manual shielded metal arc welding and thermite welding are still below the yield strength of the base metal.

Metal Arc Welding

Effect of variation of the connection (butt joint) in low carbon steel resistance welding (shielded metal arc welding, SMAW) performance is investigated in this paper. Three types of butt joint was varied: square, single V, and double V. The results from tensile test showed that welded specimens are of similar tensile properties with base metal and one another. When hardness test was performed on weld metal, HAZ, and base metal of each specimen,.it was found that weld metal and HAZ were of higher hardness than the base metal. Specimen with square joint exhibits the highest hardness while specimens with single V and double V joints show similar hardness. Microstructure analysis revealed that weld metal of specimen with square joint is of bainite-martensite phases while weld metal of specimens with single V and double V joints are of ferrite-pearlite phases. This difference in microstructure, and hence in hardness, is related to the corresponding heat input during welding.

In this study, the effect of gas metal arc welding on the mechanical and microstructure properties of hot-rolled XPF800 steel newly produced by TATA Steel has been investigated. This steel finds its role in the automotive industry as chassis and seating applications. The microstructure transformation during gas metal arc welding has been analyzed using scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Tensile, Charpy impact, and microhardness tests have been implemented to determine the mechanical properties of welded samples. Acceptable welded joints have been obtained using heat input in the range of 0.28–0.46 kJ/mm. It has been found that the base metal hardness of the welded sample is 320 HV0.1. On account of the heat-affected zone softening, the intercritical heat-affected zone hardness values have diminished ∼20% compared to base metal.

Strength And Plasticity

Weldability analysis, metallographic experiments and mechanical property experiments were carried out on weld joint between B610CF and 16MnR steel using shielded metal arc welding method and mixed active-gas arc welding method. Weldability analysis shows that the weld joint has some tendency to cold crack, and preheat is needed before welding. Metallographic results show that there are ferrite and bainite in weld metal, and in heat-affected zone of B610CF side there are ferrite and bainite, on which there is much dispersed slight Fe3C, and in heat-affected zone of 16MnR side there are ferrite, pearlite. There is no quenching microstructure resulting in crack in weld joint. From mechanical property results, it can be concluded that the weld joints have excellent impact toughness at low temperature and the tensile strength and plasticity of weld joints is matched to the ones of 16MnR steel. So the welding parameters in this paper are appropriate to get qualified weld joints.

With the advancement of welding techniques, Arc-welding is one of the most commonly and widely used welding technique for variety of purposes. The underside of welding to be performed makes the molten pool going downward because of gravity vector pulling affects the molten pool. The main purpose of this study is to study how the molten of electrode produced reduce on going downward and produce a good root fusion in overhead position of welding in single V-butt joint with the help of magnetic field on the workpiece. The study of magnet characteristic which includes thebehaviour of molten pool toward magnetic field, the macrostructure and microstructure and its strength should be carried out. Each magnet strength has their own characteristics that affects toward weldment on base metal.As a result, it can be concluded that having a magnetic field applies on base metal A36 low carbon steel may reduce the molten pool from going downward. The selection of a correct magnet strength and welding process may produce good and quality weldment especially in terms of its weld properties and geometry.
