Prediction on cold crack sensitivity using hydrogen embrittlement index measured from in situ slow-strain-rate testing for multipass flux-cored arc weld metals of shipbuilding and offshore steels

The condition of the consumables is a key factor determining the waste reduction in the welding processes and the quality of the welded joint. The paper presents the results of tests of four types of flux-cored wires dedicated for welding high-strength steels, stored for 1 month and 6 months in Poland in two urbanized areas: in a large seaside city (Gdańsk) and in Warsaw, located in the center of the country. The wires were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic (stereoscopic, SEM) observations, EDS analysis, technological tests assessing elastic properties and targetability. The degree of degradation of the wires was also tested using resistance measurements. In order to assess the effect of storing wires on the weldability of steel, the diffusible hydrogen content in deposited metal was determined by high-temperature extraction. It was found that the storage caused changes in the surface condition of the wires, affected their elasticity and electrical properties, which affects the behavior of the wires during welding. A significant influence of storage conditions on the hydrogenation of deposited metal was found: in the case of three types of wires, the level of low hydrogen processes was exceeded and the maximum result was 15.18 ml/100 g of deposited metal. It was also found that copper-plated wire showed a significantly increased resistance to storage conditions compared to non-copper-plated wires.
