Abstract The gas metal arc is widely used in manufacturing industries because of the high metal deposition rate and ease of automation with better weld quality at permissible cost than other welding processes in joining similar and dissimilar metals. AISI 430 steel is normally difficult to weld by melting methods, due to the associated problems such as grain growth. For this purpose, AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel couples of 10 mm thick were welded by the synergic controlled pulsed (GMAW-P) and manual gas metal arc (GMAW) welding techniques. The interface appearances of the welded specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Structural changes in the weld zone were analysed by energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (X-RD). Microhardness, notch charpy and tensile tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of specimens. Accordingly, the best result was obtained from the GMAW-P technique.

Abstract Grain growth and hardness variation occurring in high temperature Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) during the welding processes are two thermal dependant aspects of great interest for both academic and industrial research activities. This paper presents an innovative Finite Element (FE) model capable to describe the grain growth and the hardness decrease that occur during the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of commercial AISI 441 steel. The commercial FE software SFTC DEFORM-3DTM was used to simulate the GMAW process and a user subroutine was developed including a physical based model and the Hall-Petch (H-P) equation to predict grain size variation and hardness change. The model was validated by comparison with the experimental results showing its reliability in predicting important welding characteristics temperature dependant. The study provides an accurate numerical model (i.e. user subroutine, heat source fitting, geometry,…) able to successfully predict the thermal phenomena (i.e. coarsening of the grains and hardening decrease) that occur in the HAZ during welding process of ferritic stainless steel.

This paper deals with the effects of shielding gas mixtures (100% CO2, 100% Ar and 80 % Ar [Formula: see text] 20% CO[Formula: see text] and heat input (3.00, 3.65 and 4.33[Formula: see text]kJ/mm) on the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of AISI 410[Formula: see text]S (American Iron and Steel Institute) super martensitic stainless steel (SMSS) by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. AISI 410[Formula: see text]S SMSS with 1.2[Formula: see text]mm diameter of a 410 filler wire was used in this study. A detailed microstructural analysis of the weld region as well as the mechanical properties (impact, microhardness and tensile tests at room temperature and 800[Formula: see text]C) was carried out. The tensile and impact fracture surfaces were further analyzed through scanning electron microscope (SEM). 100% Ar shielded welds have a higher amount of [Formula: see text] ferrite content and due to this fact the tensile strength of the joints is superior to the other two shielded welds.

The aim of this research work was to analyze the sensitization due to the effect of welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding & Gas Metal Arc Welding) heat in heat affected zone area in terms of metallurgical properties, mechanical properties and corrosion of base metal comparatively. Also the effect of different chemicals / acidic environments on tensile properties was investigated. The plates of 3 mm thickness of 409M Ferritic Stainless Steel welded at constant current of 90A by three different welding processes with the same filler metal. The microstructure observation was made after Marble reagent chemical etched. Then tensile properties were investigated and comparative analysis done between the tensile properties i.e. before and after the chemical exposure given to it with the parent metal. After completion of experimental work it is found that SMAW, GMAW and GTAW have affected the microstructure of 409M Ferritic Stainless Steel. Due to the acidic environments/ Chemical exposures the strength and ductility of the metal affects. But comparatively GTAW has shown better process than GMAW and SMAW for welding of 409M Ferritic Stainless Steel. It should be used with caution in sulphuric acid environments than chloride environments to resist corrosion.

AISI 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel is well known for its good corrosion resistance applicable for high resistance to pitting and stresses. But it lacks in its wear resistance and hardness in order to improve the mechanical properties of AISI 430 Ferritic Stainless-Steel materials Nitriding Heat Treatment is chosen in this project. The samples are taken in the form of cylindrical shapes with diameter 10mm and length 40mm respectively. The specimen is subjected 4 numbers being the highest treated to saturated limit. One specimen is kept as untreated for comparison purpose. Wear test will be carried out under constant speed and with variable load by pin on disk wear testing apparatus. Finally, all the specimens are subjected to various metallographic tests like SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDAX (X-ray Despresive Analysis) or XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and the results are compared.
