- 6. welding process
Using 5 1mm thick Q235B 304 composite plate for double-sided submerged arc welding test, from welding assembly,The welding parameters (current, voltage, welding speed, etc.) and welding process were debugged and optimized, and the welding process was successfully completed.The pipe welding of 3 kinds of parameters composite pipe, the weld formation is good, no welding wear and porosity problems.
1. Welding test
Table 1 gives the process parameters of the welding test plate, in which the stainless steel side welding material is a 309 submerged arc of φ3.2mm.
Welding wire 601 flux, carbon steel side welding material is φ3.2mm 10Mn2 welding wire 101 flux. Figure 1 is a photograph of double-sided submerged arc welding.

Fig. 3 Section metallographic phase of weld bead of scheme III
As can be seen from fig. 3, the weld beads intersect well under the three schemes, and the residual height of the two weld beads is moderate.
The observation of the gold phase organization of the stainless steel weld, the main element content of different positions of the welded joint was detected, Figure 4 is the gold phase organization of the stainless steel weld area, and Table 3 is the element content of different positions of the welded joint.

Fig.4 Metallographic structure of stainless steel weld zone
As can be seen from Table 3, the stainless steel weld bead is diluted by the carbon steel at the base layer. The content of Ni and Cr in the weld bead is lower than that of the clad 304 stainless steel. There is a priority corrosion risk in the later service, and the welding material needs to be adjusted. Figure 4 Stainless steel weld bead obtained martensite tissue, with typical stainless steel weld tissue (austenite plus a small amount of ferrite tissue)Different.
3. Summary
(1) The double-sided submerged arc welding process can realize the welding of 51mm thick composite plate, with a certain welding window;
(2) The size of the stainless steel bead in this test is moderate, and the welding speed can be appropriately increased to 900~1000 mm/min under the condition of excellent welding material processability;
(3) The weld size of carbon steel in this test is slightly larger, and the welding current can be reduced to 440A;
(4) The composition of Cr and Ni in the stainless steel weld bead obtained by 309 stainless steel welding wire is lower than that of the 304 clad layer, there is a risk of corrosion, and the welding material needs to be adjusted.
(5) The test plate welded last week is analyzed to prove that the fusion of the two welding beads is no problem.
