| Summary: | The base
metal used in this study was high strength low alloy (HSLA) AH-36 steel. The
welding process used the E6013 as a rutile electrode. Four rutile electrodes
were produced by adding Mg metal powder,
ranging from 0 to 5 wt.%, to the initial electrode layer in such a way as to
obtain Mn and Si deposits according to ANSI/AWS standard A5.1-91. The shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) method was used with
heat inputs of 1.5 kJ/mm and 2.5 kJ/mm. The
tensile property, Charpy-V impact, and microhardness tests were performed to
measure the mechanical properties of the weld metal. The observation of
the metallographic structure was performed using an optical microscope. The
results showed that with the increase of Mg layer content, the metal-oxygen
level decreased, and the content of Mn and Si increased. The toughness and
tensile strength of AH-36 steel improved, and the optimal Mg content is
determined. |
