The Characteristics of Weld Metal Zone Welded with Various Filler Metals

Abstract:

Recently, the fuel oil of diesel engines of marine ships is being changed to heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is getting higher and higher. Therefore, the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine, such as cylinder liner, piston crown, and spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves has predominantly increased. Thus, the repair welding of the piston crown is a unique method to prolong its life in a economical point of view. In this case, filler metals with a high corrosion and wear resistance are mainly being used for repair welding. However, the piston crown on the ships job site is often actually being welded with mild filler metals. Therefore, in this study, mild filler metals, such as E4301, E431316, and E4316, were welded to the SS401 steel as the base metal, and the corrosion properties of their weld metals with and without post weld heat treatment were investigated with some electrochemical methods in 0.1% H₂SO₄ solution. The weld metal welded with E4301 filler metal exhibited the best corrosion resistance among the filler metals in the case of no heat treatment, however, its resistance was considerably decreased due to the post weld heat treatment (annealing:625°C, 2hr). In particular, the weld metal of E4316 exhibited relatively a good corrosion resistance by the post weld heat treatment.
