The Effects of Flux Type on Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of S235 Structural Steel by Submerged Arc Welding

Abstract

S235 fine grained steel alloys are demanded especially in structural components of buildings, factories and mechanical parts of machines where yield strength values approximately close to minimum 235 mega-pascals are in concern. As they are classified in low alloyed steel groups, in consequence of the cheapness of these alloys their consumption is increasing as well. In this work; 15mm of S235 structural steel is submerged arc welded by 2 types of welding fluxes. The effects of flux composition on microstructural and mechanical properties of welded S235 steel alloy are examined. Micro-vickers hardness surveys of base metal and heat affected zones with weld metals, transverse tensile tests and micro-structural investigations are applied for comparison of these two types of welding fluxes.
