Evaluation of the Properties and Microstructure of Thick-Walled Welded Joint of Wear Resistant Materials
The research was conducted on a thick-walled welded joint between the HTK 900H wear-resistant steel plates and the A6 cast profile. The aim of the experiment was to produce a joint with the relevant performance requirements, i.e., a good abrasion resistance joint in the weld face area while ensuring...

| description | The research was conducted on a thick-walled welded joint between the HTK 900H wear-resistant steel plates and the A6 cast profile. The aim of the experiment was to produce a joint with the relevant performance requirements, i.e., a good abrasion resistance joint in the weld face area while ensuring its proper plasticity. The welded joint was made using the MAG PULSE and the high-performance MAG TANDEM methods under automated conditions using the linear welding energy ranging from 1.2 to 2.2 kJ/mm for the different joint regions. The scope of the research included both non-destructive and destructive testing. The non-destructive visual (VT), magnetic-particle (MT), and ultrasonic (UT) tests revealed a good quality of the welded joint with no significant welding imperfections. The microstructure of the welded joint in the weld zone was characterized by a dominant volume fraction of martensite/bainite. The measurement of hardness near the face of the weld confirmed obtaining similar values for this parameter. The HTK 900H steel was characterized by hardness at the level of 383 HV10, whereas the A6 cast-328 HV10, and the weld-276 HV10. At the same time, the analyzed joint showed high ductility in the range of 86 to 159 J. The tests carried out showed that the linear energy control allowed a welded joint with the required performance characteristics to be obtained. |
