    No full text
    In this paper are characterized problems of high strength steel weldability in underwater wet welding conditions. Water as a welding environment intensifies action of unfavourable factors which influence susceptibility to cold cracking of welded steel joints. The susceptibility to cold cracking of S355J2G3 steel and S500M steel in wet conditions was experimentally estimated (by using Tekken test). It was concluded that the steels in question are characterized by a high susceptibility to formation of cracks in welds. Usefulness of the proposed Temper Bead Welding technique (TBW) was experimentally verified as a method for improving weldability of the steels in the analyzed conditions

    ABSTRACT The tests results of superduplex stainless steel welded joints made with a different heat input, using automatic submerged arc welding (SAW) and semi-automatic flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) have been presented. Metallographic examinations, the measurements of the ferrite content, the width of the heat affected zone (HAZ) and the hardness of the welds in characteristic areas have been performed. Significant differences in the amount of ferrite in the weld metal and in the heat affected zone microstructure of joints were found.</jats:p

    In this paper, we describe the preliminary experimental studies of flux-cored wires moisturized under controlled conditions. Three seamless wires of different grades have been placed in an environmental chamber and moisturized in extremely adverse conditions (temperature T = 60°C, relative humidity H = 90%) for 240 hours. During this time, measurements of weight gain as well as surface observations of the wires have been carried out. Also, the amount of diffusible hydrogen in deposited metal was determined by the mercury method for one of the moisturized wires. A significant increase in the level of hydrogen was observed (from H5 to H10). Further research will aim to determine the effect of storage conditions on the hydrogenation of deposited metal and quality of flux-cored wires.Praca dotyczy badań drutów proszkowych nawilżanych w kontrolowanych warunkach. Trzy gatunki drutów bezszwowych umieszczono w komorze klimatycznej i nawilżano w niekorzystnych warunkach (temperatura T = 60°C, wilgotność względna H = 90%) przez 240 h. Badania polegały na pomiarze nasiąkliwości i ocenie stanu powierzchni badanych drutów. Ponadto dla jednego z nawilżanych drutów oznaczono metodą rtęciową zawartość wodoru dyfundującego w stopiwie. Stwierdzono znaczny wzrost poziomu wodoru (z H5 do H10). Dalsze badania powinny zmierzać do ilościowego ustalenia wpływu warunków przechowywania na nawodorowanie stopiwa i jakość badanych drutów

    This article describes the manufacturing technology of multilayer joints in terms of controlling the diffusible hydrogen content. The diffusible hydrogen content in deposited metal for multilayer welded joints made of covered rutile electrodes or covered cellulosic and basic electrodes was determined. It was found that, after four beads, the diffusible hydrogen content decreases from 36 m l/100 g to 18 ml/100 g in the ca se of the first technology, and about 40 ml/100 g to a level of 12 ml/100 g in the second. The explanation of the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon and direction s for further study have been proposed.W artykule scharakteryzowano technologię wytwarzania złączy wielościegowych w aspekcie kontroli ilości wodoru dyfundującego. Oznaczono zawartość wodoru dyfundującego w stopiwie dla wielościegowych złączy spawanych wykonanych dwoma technologiami: za pomocą elektrod o otulinie rutylowej oraz celulozowej i zasadowej. Ustalono, że po wykonaniu czte- rech ściegów ilość wodoru dyfundującego spada w przypadku pierwszej technologii z poziomu36 ml/100 g do 18 ml/100 g, natomiast w drugim z około 40 ml/100 g do poziomu 12 ml/100 g. Wyjaśniono mechanizmy odpowiedzialne za to zjawisko i zasugerowano kierunki kontynuacji badań

    The presence of diffusible hydrogen in welded joints is one of the causes of formation the welding imperfections. Improvement of weldability can be achieved by reducing the hydrogen amount in welded joints. This requires, among others, the finding of sources of hydrogen. For high hydrogen processes the commonly used method of determining the diffusible hydrogen amount is the glycerin method. This paper concerns issues related to the test procedure and the possibility to control the diffusible hydrogen amount in deposited metal.Obecność wodoru dyfundującego w złączach spawanych jest jedną z przyczyn powstawania niezgodności spawalniczych. Poprawę spawalności stali można osiągnąć przez zmniejszenie nawodorowania złączy. Wymaga to m.in. wyznaczenia źródeł wodoru. W procesach wysokowodorowych często stosowaną metodą oznaczania ilości wodoru dyfundującego jest metoda glicerynowa. Praca dotyczy zagadnień związanych z procedurą badawczą i możliwością sterowania ilością wodoru dyfundującego w stopiwie

    Abstract The article presents the idea of the use of Temper Bead Welding (TBW) technique to improve the weldability of high strength steel at underwater wet welding conditions. Wet welding method with the use of covered electrodes is described. This work shows results of metallographic examinations and hardness measurements of samples of S420G2+M steel with weld beads performed under water. It has been shown that Temper Bead Welding technique may provide a way to reduce the hardness of the welds, thus is a useful method for improving weldability of high strength steel welded in underwater conditions. The optimum overlap of weld beads (pitch) was set of 55÷100%.</jats:p
