Discussion on the Influence of Material Factors on the Weldability of Metal Materials


【Summary Description】 What are the factors that affect the weldability of metal materials? There are many factors that affect the weldability of metal materials, including four aspects: metal materials, structural design, process measures and the use of the environment. The weldability depends on the chemical composition of the base metal and the weld metal, the design of the welded structure and the welded joint, the welding method, and the comprehensive performance of the welding process. Material factors. Material factors refer to the wood itself and Welding materials. including the chemical composition of the material, smelting and rolling state, heat treatment, microstructure and mechanical properties. Welding rods for arc welding, welding wires and fluxes for submerged arc welding, welding rods and shielding gases for ladle arc welding, and other Welding materials. During the welding process, wood and Welding materials directly participate in the metallurgical reaction of the molten pool or fusion zone, which has an important influence on weldability and welding quality. When the base metal or Welding materials is not selected, the composition of the weld will be unqualified, the mechanical properties and other properties will be reduced, and even cracks, pores, slag and other welding defects will appear, which will worsen the welding process, so it must be selected correctly. On the substrate side, the chemical composition has the greatest impact. If the steel only relies on alloying elements to achieve solid solution strengthening, it is generally easier to make the weld metal, heat affected zone, and base metal have good matching performance during the welding process. If the steel is a relatively complex alloy system and is strengthened by heat treatment, deformation processing, etc., it is not easy to obtain a weld metal that completely matches the base metal, or even the entire welded joint. For steel, the elements that affect the weldability are C, P, H, S, O, N, etc. Among the alloying elements, Mn, Si, Cr, Ni, Mo, Ti, V, Nb, Cu, B and other elements will increase the hardening tendency and crack sensitivity of welded joints to varying degrees. In general, the weldability of steel deteriorates with increasing carbon content and alloying element content. Smelting method, rolling process and heat treatment state also affect weldability to varying degrees. At present, CF steel (crack-resistant steel), Z-direction steel, TMCP steel (controlled rolling steel), etc., all improve the weldability of materials by means of refining and purification, controlled rolling process, etc.
