Abstract:

This research aimed to investigate the microstructure and hardness properties of hardfacing surface on SCM440 alloy steel by using metal active gas and flux cored arc welding processes. Due to the difficulty of welding the high strength steel, the changes in base metals’ microstructures were found after welding. Preheating the specimens at 350°C and post weld heat treatment the specimens at 550°C were performed for 1 hour, to reduce the residual stresses and avoid the undesired formation of microstructures. The weld metals’ microstructures that were found from both welding processes are acicular ferrite, polygonal ferrite and side plate ferrite. The hardness value of weld metal resulted from flux cored arc welding process is higher than that of the metal active gas welding process. Each welding process produced different quantities of weld metals’ microstructures, causing the difference in hardness values. The data will be used for investigating and improving parameters of shaft repairing, in order to use it more effectively.
