An Investigation on the Weldability and Mechanical Tests of Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel
AbstractIn this study, 316L stainless steel with austenitic microstructure and low carbon S235JR quality steel material were welded. The materials were welded by cored wire-MAG welding method. In the welding process, EloxcorS309L quality rutile cored wire is used. In our study; a “Welding Method Specification (PQR)” has been followed and its standard requirements are reported. As a requirement of PQR, tensile and bending tests were carried out according to the standards. Macro images are taken from the weld region to track macro transitions that occur in the weld region. Based on mechanical values, comparisons were made with academic studies.
