Abstract:
The objective of this research was to study influence parameters affecting to MIG welding to
mechanical property and micro structure of austenitic stainless steel grade 304. The research was
Factorial Design experiment, which had following interested parameters: welding current 3 step to
80,90 and 100 Amp speed weld 3 step to 250,300 and 350 cover gas 3 group to 75%Ar+25%C02,
70%Ar+25%C02+5%02 and 69.5%Ar+25%C02+5%02+0.5%He gas. The study was done in
following aspects: Hardness, ultimate tensile strength, yield point strength and elongation rate
Results were. A study of hardness found that main factor which had influence to change was speed
and cover gas. The relation was current*speed*cover gas. The welding parameter was maximum
hardness at current of 100 amperes, speed of 250 mmlmin and they were covered by
69.5%Ar+25%C02+5%02+0.5%He gas. At this condition, it had the hardness of 294.36 HV. A
study of ultimate tensile strength found that main factor which had influence to change was welding
speed. The relation was current*speed*cover gas, At the level of .01. A study of elongation rate
found that main factor which had influence to change was all welding parameters.
current*speed*cover gas, At the level of .01. The relation was current speed cover gas. Them
analysis of microscopic structure of the work pieces which had the maximum hardness found that
the structure of Columnar Dendrite and the growth ofgrain in HAZ area had much difference.
The was the size of Columnar Dendrite was smaller the size of grain which grew in the HAZ area
could grow slower. Finally, Cr23C6 part could occur in both cases.
