Effect of Welding on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of an Industrial Low Carbon Steel

摘要

In this work, the effect of arc welding on microstructures and mechanical properties of industrial low carbon steel (0.19 wt. % C) was studied. This steel is used for making gas storage cylinders. In order to realize the objective, optical microscopy, EBSD, X-ray diffraction, and hardness tests were used. Different zones and some phases are identified. New microstructural phenomenons are observed by using EBSD technique.
