Abstract

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is a welding process that is widely used for stainless steel materials, especially material thicknesses below 3 mm. In this study, ASS 316L pipes with a diameter of 89 mm, a thickness of 2.6 mm, and a length of 100 mm using a current of 50A was successful prepared. The type of welding wire used is ER316L with a diameter of 1.6 mm and argon as a shielding gas with using a backing gas. The results of macrograph observations showed that the face tended to be concave and the root experienced over penetration. This was correlated with the results of visual observations, including the face in the weld metal area being lower than the base metal and the root being too deep. The highest average tensile test result is 659 MPa, with a yield strength of 484 MPa, while the elongation is 39.3%, then the fracture form occurs minimal necking or brittle fracture occurs. The highest average hardness test result in the WM area is 188 HV, followed by the HAZ area with an average hardness of 154 HV and in the WM area an average hardness of 148 HV.

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.
