Abstract

In this paper, the macrostructure and mechanical properties of medium carbon steel with cannibal consumable filler by using the GTAW process have been investigated. The medium carbon steel (ST 37) plates with dimensions of 300 × 250 ×3 mm were used for welding and 2.5 mm of thickness for the filler. For welding parameters, current of 80 A was chosen and observed over the welded specimen. Welding was performed with single Vgroove butt Joint design, 30° bevel angle. Preparation of samples was done according to standard. To explore the optimum welding specimen, both tensile and bending tests were carried out. The result of the welding process with the current of 80A shows that the face part tends to be more embossed and the root part looks less embossed, there are parts that lack penetration. This causes a lack of weld strength due to incomplete penetration of the root part. The face section produces maximum and strong results, while at the root there are cracks that are almost broken. This is due to lack of fusion because the current is too small resulting in differences in weld strength between the face and root, which affects the bending test results. In the tensile test results, a fracture occurred in the weld metal in the form of a brittle fracture. This is caused by a lack of fusion and very minimal penetration of the filler metal into the weld groove. Based on the macro test analysis carried out, minimal root penetration or no penetration occurs, while the weld seam accumulates on the face. Based upon the present study it is not recommended that 80 A of welding current when GTAW process using canibal consumable filler. The current of 80A may need to improve to produce good welding.

Abstract

Stainless steel 316L pipe welding joints are widely used in industry, especially in the Bio-Medical field. In order to develop research on this field, the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process was carried out on the butt joint of ASS 316L. In this study, the ASS 316L pipe of 89 mm (3.5 inches), a thickness of 2.6 mm, and a length of 100 mm was investigated. The effect of current variations of 30, 40, and 50A with shielding gas and Argon backing gas were analyzed. ER316L have been selected as filler metal for GTAW process. The results of microstructural observations for all currents showed the formation of dendritic and widmanstanten structures in the weld metal and austenitic phases in the base metal. The mechanical tests has been conducted to find out the ultimate tensile strength and and hardness as well as observations of the macro structure in the weld metal (WM), heat affected zone (HAZ), and base metal (BM) areas. Visual observation of the 40A current showed more stable surface and penetration results compared to the 30 and 50A currents. Observations of the macro structure were correlated with the results of visual observations of the 40A current, indicating good fusion and no defects exceeding the standard. The highest tensile strength test results were obtained in specimens with a current of 50A of 659 MPa, followed by a current of 40A of 651 MPa, and a current of 30A of 649.3 MPa. However, the highest elongation was found in specimens with a current of 40A, which was 45.3%, while specimens with currents of 30A and 50A had the same elongation value of 39.3%. The general distribution of hardness in the weld metal area was greater than in the heat affected zone and base metal areas.
