Effects of Welding Heat Input on Microstructure and Electrochemical Behavior of Flux-Cored Arc-Welded Q690 HSLA Steel

In this work, the weld metal (WM) for the Q690 high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel was prepared through flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) at 10 kJ/cm and 20 kJ/cm heat inputs. The effect of welding heat input on the relationship between the microstructural factors and the electrochemical behavior of th...

description In this work, the weld metal (WM) for the Q690 high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel was prepared through flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) at 10 kJ/cm and 20 kJ/cm heat inputs. The effect of welding heat input on the relationship between the microstructural factors and the electrochemical behavior of the FCAW Q690 steel was studied. Due to the fine grain and acicular ferrite affected by the 10 kJ/cm low heat input, the WM presented similar electrochemical behavior to the Q690 base metal, which would minimize the risk of galvanic corrosion. Also, at 20 kJ/cm of high welding heat input, the WM with higher-sized bainite structure was prone to galvanic corrosion risk minimization.
