Arc Welding Process

The research was study the effect of gas metal arc welding process parameters on mechanical property. The specimen was carbon steel ASTM A285 grade A which thickness of 6 mm. The experiments with full factorial design. The factors used in this study are shielding gas and voltage. The welded specimens were tested by tensile strength testing and hardness testing according to ASME boiler and pressure vessel code section IX 2007. The result showed that both of shielding gas and voltage had interaction on tensile strength and hardness at 95% confidential (P value < 0.05). Factors affecting the tensile strength are the most carbon dioxide and 27 voltage were tensile strength 213.43 MPa. And hardness maximum of 170.60 HV can be used carbon dioxide and 24 voltage.

The effect of heat input on the transformation of retained austenite steels transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) was investigated in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the Gas Metal Arc Welding GMAW process. The determination of retained austenite of the HAZ is important in optimizing the welding parameters when welding TRIP steels, because this will greatly influence the mechanical properties of the welding joint due to the transformation of residual austenite into martensite due to work hardening. Coupons were welded with high and low heat input for investigating the austenite transformation of the base metal due to heat applied by the welding process and was evaluated by optical microscopy and the method of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Data analyzed shows that the volume fraction of retained austenite in the HAZ increases with the heat input applied by the welding process, being greater as the heat input increase and decrease the cooling rate, this due to variation in the travel speed of the weld path.

Fatigue Life Enhancement

This paper deals with a comprehensive investigation of fatigue life enhancement on semiautomated Gas Metal Arc Welding (GTAW) butt weld joint which is found almost everywhere in Malaysia welding structure steel sectors. The selected material in this study was high strength low alloy steel S460G2+M commonly used extremely in steel structure due to its outstanding mechanical properties. In this investigation, the method for joining the butt weld was conducted by unprofessional welder using semi-automated GMAW. At first, suitable welding parameters were identified and formulated into welding procedure specification (WPS) qualification conforming to AWS D1.1 standard. The test specimens were prepared and tested to ensure the welding quality. Further, the HFMI using Pneumatic Impact Treatment (PIT) technique were applied at the weld toe of the butt weld as tool for fatigue life enhancement. To investigate the influence of HFMI/PIT on the fatigue strength, the specimens were undergone fatigue test using universal fatigue machine using a constant amplitude loading. Finally, the comparison of the fatigue strength of as welded and treated specimens to indicate the beneficial influence of the treatment. Yes, the conduction by unprofessional welder using semi-automatic GMAW, the findings showed the improvement of fatigue strength and slope of S-N curves. In addition, the fracture location of test specimen shows physically affected by shifting from critical weld transition to base metal. The tensile test and hardness value also showed a slight difference as compared to untreated specimens.

This paper is focused on the analysis of the welding technology influence on the microstructure production and quality of the welded joint. Steel of class STN 41 1375 was selected for the experiment, the samples were welded by arc welding including two methods: a manual one by coated electrode and gas metal arc welding method. Macro and microstructural analyses of the experimental welded joints confirmed that the welding parameters affected the welded joint structure in terms of the grain size and character of the structural phase.

Metal Arc Welding

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 .
