Article Preview

Abstract:

Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) is one of the important arc welding processes used in electronics, medical, automotive and aerospace industries due its high accuracy and ability of welding any hard materials which is more tolerant to joint misalignment than Laser Beam Welding (LBW) at a lower cost. Thickness of 1.6mm plates were used to obtain full penetration and a strong joint with a very narrow Heat Affected Zone. The present study deals with the effect of mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of butt welded 1.6 mm thick martensitic stainless steel-similar (SS410 and SS410) joints made by plasma arc welding technique. Similar butt Welded joints were analyzed by using mechanical (Bend test, Erichsen cup test, Tensile test) characterization methods. Their corresponding corrosion resistance properties were also investigated by potentiodynamic polarization corrosion testing technique. The tensile strength was found to be 341 MPa for similar SS410 weld. During tensile test the failure occurred on the base metal on both similar joints Keywords: SS304; SS410; PAW; Butt weld; Erichsen Cup Test; Microstructure.
