Abstract

The effects of heat input(1.4~3.2kJ/mm), shielding gas(Ar80%+$CO_2$20%) and postweld heat treatment(PWHT, $600^{\circ}C$, 40hr.) on the TMCP HSB600 steel weldments made by GMAW process were investigated. The tensile strength and CVN impact energy of as-welded specimens decreased with increasing heat input. The fine-grained acicular ferrite was mainly formed in the low heat input while polygonal and side plate ferrites were dominated in the high inputs. High performance steel for bridges requires higher performance in tensile and yield strength, toughness, weldability, etc. Thus, the purpose of the experiment is to study HSB 600 in GMAW.
