The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different heat inputs on mechanical properties and microstructure of dissimilar electrical arc welded austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 and low-carbon steel (CS) joints. The mechanical properties of welded austenitic stainless steel type AISI 304 and low-CS are studied. Five different heat inputs 0.5, 0.9, 1.41, 2, and 2.5 KJ/min were applied to investigate the microstructure of the welded zone and mechanical properties. The results showed that the efficiency of the joints and tensile strength increased with increasing heat inputs, while excess heat input reduces the efficiency. Furthermore, changes in microstructure with excess heat input cause failure at the heat-affected zone.

The effect of laser welding on the mechanical properties and the prediction of formability for austenitic stainless steel AISI 304 and ferritic steel AISI 430 when welded by a YLS-5000 fiber laser, were studied in the paper. The microstructure of the welded joint was analyzed using light microscopy. The mechanical properties were determined by static tensile testing. The forming limit diagrams were produced from notched samples at R5, R17, and R25 mm. The hardness values of the welded joint and the base material were determined using the Vickers method. Samples made of AISI 430 showed that the formability suffered due to laser welding. Longitudinal coarse ferrite grains were observed in the microstructure of the AISI 430 weld metal. The coarse-grained structure of the welded joint and the continuous interface along the centerline caused the failure of the AISI 430 laser-welded samples at significantly lower actual stress and strain values than were required to break the base material. No significant changes in the formability were observed in the AISI 304 samples after laser welding. The growth of dendrites was observed in the microstructure of the AISI 304 welded joint in a direction towards the centerline of the welded joint. A comparison of the experimentally determined FLD0 values and the values calculated from predictive equations showed that a better agreement was achieved for uniform elongation than for the strain hardening exponent. The manufacturability and economic efficiency of selected parts of an exhaust system by hydromechanical drawing were evaluated on the basis of the process capability index Cpk.

Parameters in the welding need to be known because the effect on the mechanical properties of the material after the welding process. This research purposes to find out the influence of variation of SMAW welding current on Stainless Steel AISI 304, with variation of electric current equal to 70A, 80A and 90A.The electrode of AWS A5.4 E308-16 with diameter of 2.6 mm is used. Dye penetrant test, tensile test and metallographic test applied to analysis the characteristic. Based on data from tensile test results obtained the highest value on the specimen welding current 90A is equal to 632 MPa. The lowest tensile strength value recorded on the specimens of current 70A is 498.66 MPa.

One of ways to improve properties of materials without changing the product shape toobtain the desired engineering applications is heating and cooling under effect of controlledsequence of heat treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofheating and cooling on the surface roughness, microstructure and some selected propertiessuch as the hardness and impact strength of Medium Carbon Steel which treated at differenttypes of heat treatment processes. Heat treatment achieved in this work was respectively,heating, quenching and tempering. The specimens were heated to 850°C and left for 45minutes inside the furnace as a holding time at that temperature, then quenching process wasperformed in four types of quenching media (still air, cold water (2°C), oil and polymersolution), respectively. Thereafter, the samples were tempered at 200°C, 400°C, and 600°Cwith one hour as a soaking time for each temperature, then were all cooled by still air. Whenthe heat treatment process was completed, the surface roughness, hardness, impact strengthand microstructure tests were performed. The results showed a change and clearimprovement of surface roughness, mechanical properties and microstructure afterquenching was achieved, as well as the change that took place due to the increasingtoughness and ductility by reducing of brittleness of samples.
