Steel Welding with Micro-Jet Injector

Abstract:

The article focuses on mild steel welding and covers the new possibilities of that method. Since 2011 innovate welding technology based on micro-jet cooling just after welding is being checked. Weld metal deposit (WMD) was carried out for standard MIG welding and for new welding method with micro-jet cooling. A very high percentage of acicular ferrite (AF) in WMD was gettable (55-75%) for low alloy welding with micro-jet cooling injector. This beneficial structure (very high amount of AF) is unusual to observe in WMD in other welding methods. This method is very promising mainly due to the significant improvement of weld quality and reduces costs. Furthermore impact toughness and strengths of WMD were carried out. The present paper aims at outlining same of the recent innovations in MIG welding which represent steps ahead to achieve the objectives outlined above.
