- Abstract
In the present study, gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding were applied on SA516 Gr70 carbon steel material. Two different hybrid passes were applied, wherein flux cored wire and solid wire were applied to root pass and filler pass one by one and vice versa. Besides, two more welds of similar electrode root pass and filler pass of flux cored arc welding and gas metal arc welding were acquired. The comparative analysis was carried out in terms of macrostructure and microstructure examination, tensile testing, hardness variations, and impact testing for these classical welds and hybrid welds. The results reveal that, hybrid welds lead to better impact properties relative to classical welds. Maximum angular distortion of 2.66° was reported with classical weld of gas metal arc welding with solid wire root pass and same filler pass. The maximum impact toughness of 49 J/m3 was reported for flux cored root pass and solid wire filler pass at the weld zone. Maximum tensile strength of 596 MPa was reported for hybrid weld of solid root pass and flux cored filler pass. Microstructures are reported with the presence of different acicular ferrite and grain boundary ferrite. Maximum acicular ferrite of 61% was reported with classical weld of flux cored arc welding.
