Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of ER70-Ti Steel for Gas Shielded Welding Wire

Abstract:

In this paper, ER70-Ti welding wire steel produced by an enterprise was used as the test material. The final rolling temperature was set at 960 °C, 930 °C and 900 °C, and the spinning temperature was set at 880 °C, 860 °C and 840 °C. The results showed that the microhardness of the steel decreased from 303HV to 248HV and from 317HV to 276HV as the spinning temperature decreased from 880 °C to 840 °C. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the wires with the diameters of 5.5mm, 4mm, 2.5mm, 1.4 mm and 1.2mm were examined. It was observed that the microstructure of each sample had bainite and ferrite dual phase structure. With the decrease of wire diameter, the strength gradually increased and the ductility decreased. The experimental results show that the existence of bainite structure in the welding wire is the main reason for the high strength of the welding wire and easy fracture in drawing. Based on this, the final rolling temperature of 900 °C and the spinning temperature of 840 °C should be adopted in the production of ER70-Ti welding wire steel.
