Plastic Properties of Welds after Micro-Jet Cooling with Different Cooling Gases

Abstract:

New technology of micro-jet welding could be regarded as a new way to improve plastic properties of welds. The main purpose of that paper was analysing of plastic properties of welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling. The main reason of it was investigate possibilities of getting better plastic properties of welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling than plastic properties of welds made by ordinary welding method. It is possible for steel because higher amount of acicular ferrite (AF) in weld metal deposit (WMD) is obtained in MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling in relation to ordinary welding method (example: MIG welding method without micro-jet cooling). Moreover, it is possible to steering of weld structure and properties of the weld. During research Erichsen cupping tests and bending tests were carried out for welds made by MIG welding method with micro-jet cooling and ordinary welding method (MIG). Different kind of cooling gases were used to weld cooling. In this case comparison of plastic properties for different cooling gases was done. High amount of acicular ferrite influences positively on plastic properties. Higher values of plastic parameters were observed for welds made by MIG method with micro-jet cooling than for ordinary welding method. Different plastic properties were obtained for different cooling gases. In this research welds made by new method of welding (welding with micro-jet cooling) were compared witch welds made by ordinary welding method. New method of welding is very promising and capable of industrial application, mainly due to the significant improvement of weld properties and quality. That research was made only for steel welding with using MIG welding method. Another method of welding and another material were not tested. Other methods of welding have not been tested, but it is suspected that similar phenomena are taking place. Practical implications MIG method with micro-jet cooling it is way to get better plastic properties of welds in relation to welds made by ordinary welding method. It is very important because it could be used to steering of mechanical properties of welded constructions. This may have a positive impact on the parameters of the welding process (example: welding speed) and the quality of welded joints.
