Effect of Vibration in Arc Welding using SAE 1010 Stainless Steel

Abstract

In present work dynamic mechanical properties in arc welding technology, by applying mechanical vibrations during the welding in arc welding process. It has the advantages of not as much of investment, more suitable process, less fumes and shorter manufacturing time. Studies using steel (SAE1010) square butt joints. Studies have showing that welding of metals along with mechanical vibrations result in uniform and finer grain structures. The results from the present study show that the weld joints fabricated with vibratory condition were found to possess comparatively high hardness value and high ultimate tensile strength (UTS), without any considerable loss in the ductility. Metallographic studies conducted show that weld metals under vibratory condition infatuated comparatively finer microstructure and high hardness, due to the finer microstructure. This project has been planned to study the effect of vibration on mechanical properties like tensile strength ,hardness of weld specimen and micro structure process and application of the procedure present extensive scope for cost saving and defect free welding.
