Abstract:

The weldablity of dissimilar steel between 16MnR and S31803 was analyzed and researched. By means of optical microscope (OM), the microstructure of the weld joint was investigated, which is welded by tungsten inert gas arc backing welding (GTAW) and manual arc filling welding (SMAW). The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the welded joint was also tested and studied. Results indicate that austenite and acicular ferrite distribute uniformly in the weld metal, which strengths the toughness and ductility of the joint. The austenite content in weld is higher than that in over-heated zone of S31803.The SMAW joint structure is coarsening than that of GTAW and has more austenite content. It is also observed that there are a decarburization layer and a carbon-enriched zone nearby the fusion line. And very small amounts of the third phase of harmful metal phase are found in the fusion zone of S31803 side. The welded joint shows the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The impact toughness of the weld metal is higher than in HAZ of 16MnR side, and the impact toughness at GTAW side and in HAZ is superior to the SMAW side.
