Effect of Welding Groove and Electrode Variation to the Tensile Strength and Macrostructure on 304 Stainless Steel and AISI 1045 Dissimilar Welding Joint Using SMAW Process

Abstract

AISI 1045 and 304 stainless steel are widely used in automotive and industrial fields However, both of these steels have their own advantages and disadvantages. AISI 1045 is not resistant to corrosion but has good wear resistance and low price. Meanwhile, the 304 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties but is costly. Their combination is able to provide a good property and reduce the costs. Thus, in order to combine these two metals, shield metal arc welding is carried out using welding groove and electrode variation. The groove variations used were double bevel, V, and double V-groove, additionally, the electrode variations used were E6013 and E7016. Then, the welding results were characterized using the tensile strength and macrostructure analysis. The results revealed that the specimen using E7016 electrode for the double V-groove resulted in the highest tensile test results the value of 270.48 MPa yield strength, 411.49 MPa tensile strength, and 19.81% elongation. The macrostructure analysis showed that the specimens using E7016 electrode gave a narrow HAZ that led to higher mechanical properties.

Pengaruh Variasi Sudut Kampuh V Terhadap Kekuatan Sambungan Stainless Steel 316 pada Pengelasan Tungsten Inert Gas

“…Kekuatan sambungan las TIG yang buruk pada bejana tekan stainless steel dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan berupa ledakan dibagian sambungan las (Najamudin, 2019). Oleh karena itu, pengelasan stainless steel dengan las TIG harus dilakukan dengan parameter yang tepat agar kerusakan pada sambungan las dapat dihindari (Rosidah et al, 2021).…”

Influence of Temperature Variance on the Mechanical Properties of a Welded Bearing Support Flange Under Transient Conditions Using Finite Element Approach

“…The diameter of the electrode selected for welding the flange assembly is of 3.15 mm outer diameter with a length of 350 mm and a standard flux coating throughout the length of the electrode with an electric supply of 100 to 140 amps during the welding operation. The E6013 electrode has a yield strength of 450 MPa and a tensile strength of 510 MPa with an elongation percentage of 2.5 [6].…”

Research Gap Finding in Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Steel

“…Carbon steel and stainless steel find widespread applications in various fields, including transportation, energy, the steel industry, and automotive sectors [2], [3]. The joining process for steel, whether it involves similar metals (SMW) or dissimilar metals (DMW), is commonly accomplished using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) due to its cost-effectiveness and userfriendliness [4]. Dissimilar metal welding (DMW) is typically employed in the fabrication of boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, nuclear reactors, and power plants [5]- [7].…”
