Abstract

570MPa grade weldable steels were gas metal arc welded with various heat inputs and interpass temperatures using flux cored wires. Effects of heat input and interpass temperature on the strength and impact toughness of weld metal were investigated in terms of microstructural change, recovery of alloying elements, and the amount of reheated weld metal. Increase of heat input and interpass temperature resulted in decrease of weld metal strength. This is because of the small amount of acicular ferrite, large columnar size and low recovery of alloying elements such as manganese and silicon. In addition to the microstructural change, weld metal toughness was also influenced by the deposition sequence. It increased with an increase of the amount of reheated weld metal.
