摘要
The effect of welding parameters on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of armor steel weldment was studied using gas tungsten arc welding process with two filler wires: carbon steel and austenitic stainless-steel filler wires (AWS A5.18 ER 70S-6 and AWS A5.9 ER 307, respectively). The joint configurations were mainly single V and single bevel grooves. Using both AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 carbon steel filler wire and AWS A5.9 ER307, austenitic filler wire for the two joints passed the required tensile strength by the military standard. The joints successfully regained the base metal hardness at a distance of less than 15 mm. The ultimate tensile strength of the joints welded in a single bevel groove is 906 MPa which is higher than the joints welded using a single V groove is 865 MPa. This could be attributed to the increase in dilution percentage with the single bevel joints. Both single V joint and single bevel joints passed the required Charpy V-notch impact test whether using both carbon and stainless-steel wires. The effect of heat input and cooling rate on the mechanical and microstructure of welded joints was studied. The reduction of heat input caused a narrow HAZ with a small reduction in its hardness values with much reduction in the width of softening microstructure zone. SEM observations show that the base metal has a martensitic structure, but the weld metal microstructures depend on the filler: carbon steel or austenitic steel types. Using a single bevel groove with an austenitic steel filler metal, the weld metal shows a martensitic/austenitic microstructure by SEM observation, and this was verified by the Schaeffler diagram which showed a high dilution percentage (about 35% dilution). This resulted in a significant increase in joint strength and a higher weld metal impact resistance. © 2022, The Author(s).
