Abstract

The use of carbon structural steel in construction is widely developed. It is important to do research continuously in order to get the optimum mechanical and physical properties of a material. Heat treatment which includes heating and quenching is a process that can be carried out to improve mechanical properties. A fast cooling rate is used to obtain higher strength and hardness. This research studied the effect of quenching using circulated water medium with water flow rate variations in structural steel Q235, Q255, and Q275 to their mechanical properties and microstructure. The heat treatment process was done with hardening at 1150oC, roll milling at austenitizing temperature, then quenching using circulated water medium with water flow rate of 225, 238, 247 m3/h. The tensile and hardness test results showed that water flow rate and carbon content in steel give an effect on strength and hardness. The highest tensile strength and hardness value were achieved by Q275 steel with a flow rate of 247 m3/h, which are 73,49 kgf/mm2 and 298 HVN, respectively. Meanwhile, the microstructures resulted in the presence of the mixture of martensite and pearlite, as well as ferrite in every sample with the increase in the composition of martensite and pearlite in Q275 steel with a flow rate of 247 m3/h.

Abstract

Welding is one of the commonly used methods for joining metals. One of the welding techniques frequently employed is MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas welding). This type of welding is typically used for joining stainless steel. Consequently, many factors need to be analyzed to achieve optimal welding results. The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of swing variation and electrode diameter on hardness, toughness, and macrostructure from the welded stainless steel 304 using MIG welding. The research results showed the highest toughness test results with a 2.0 mm electrode diameter and a zig-zag swing of 0.459 J/mm2, while the lowest toughness test results were obtained with a 2.6 mm electrode diameter and a spiral swing of 0.201 J/mm2. The highest hardness test results were observed with a 2.6 mm electrode diameter and a zig-zag swing in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) at 292.0 kg/mm2, whereas the lowest hardness test results were obtained with a 2.0 mm electrode diameter and a zig-zag swing in the welded metal at 203.6 kg/mm2. The widest HAZ occurred with the spiral swing variation and a 1.5 mm electrode diameter, resulting in a HAZ width of 1.92 mm, while the narrowest HAZ of 1.25 mm occurred with the spiral swing variation and a 2.0 mm electrode. Thus, it can be concluded that the electrode diameter variation affects the results of toughness, hardness, and macrostructure tests.
