The effect of heat input on the transformation of retained austenite steels transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) was investigated in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the Gas Metal Arc Welding GMAW process. The determination of retained austenite of the HAZ is important in optimizing the welding parameters when welding TRIP steels, because this will greatly influence the mechanical properties of the welding joint due to the transformation of residual austenite into martensite due to work hardening. Coupons were welded with high and low heat input for investigating the austenite transformation of the base metal due to heat applied by the welding process and was evaluated by optical microscopy and the method of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Data analyzed shows that the volume fraction of retained austenite in the HAZ increases with the heat input applied by the welding process, being greater as the heat input increase and decrease the cooling rate, this due to variation in the travel speed of the weld path.

Fatigue Life Enhancement

This paper deals with a comprehensive investigation of fatigue life enhancement on semiautomated Gas Metal Arc Welding (GTAW) butt weld joint which is found almost everywhere in Malaysia welding structure steel sectors. The selected material in this study was high strength low alloy steel S460G2+M commonly used extremely in steel structure due to its outstanding mechanical properties. In this investigation, the method for joining the butt weld was conducted by unprofessional welder using semi-automated GMAW. At first, suitable welding parameters were identified and formulated into welding procedure specification (WPS) qualification conforming to AWS D1.1 standard. The test specimens were prepared and tested to ensure the welding quality. Further, the HFMI using Pneumatic Impact Treatment (PIT) technique were applied at the weld toe of the butt weld as tool for fatigue life enhancement. To investigate the influence of HFMI/PIT on the fatigue strength, the specimens were undergone fatigue test using universal fatigue machine using a constant amplitude loading. Finally, the comparison of the fatigue strength of as welded and treated specimens to indicate the beneficial influence of the treatment. Yes, the conduction by unprofessional welder using semi-automatic GMAW, the findings showed the improvement of fatigue strength and slope of S-N curves. In addition, the fracture location of test specimen shows physically affected by shifting from critical weld transition to base metal. The tensile test and hardness value also showed a slight difference as compared to untreated specimens.

This paper is focused on the analysis of the welding technology influence on the microstructure production and quality of the welded joint. Steel of class STN 41 1375 was selected for the experiment, the samples were welded by arc welding including two methods: a manual one by coated electrode and gas metal arc welding method. Macro and microstructural analyses of the experimental welded joints confirmed that the welding parameters affected the welded joint structure in terms of the grain size and character of the structural phase.
