Analys av svetsning i jämförbara plåtkvalitéer : Plåtens inverkan på svetsprocessen (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This master thesis is written to examine the influence of different low carbon steel sheet materials on the GMAW welding process. During welding the properties of the base material influence the productivity of the welding process. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the choice of material and welding speed affect the welding process and the productivity.

A literature survey was performed to describe the welding technique and the differences in manufacturing for the sheet materials as well as the effect of alloying and welding on the sheet material. Defects in the weld and methods used to determine them are explained. Test pieces of the different sheet materials were welded with the GMAW process and examined.

The result shows that there is a variation in the welding process regarding weld penetration. Measurements also show that welding speed and gap have little influence on the hardness of the weld and heat-affected zone and that the S355MC is more likely to suffer from a narrower toe transition radius than S355NL and S355MC Si. This and the higher area in the Y2 region for the S355MC could indicate a stronger inward flow in the weld pool during welding possibly a result of surface active agents such as oxygen and sulphur.

Abstract [sv]

Denna uppsats skrevs för att undersöka hur olika lågt legerade kolstål påverkar svetsprocessen för gasmetallbågsvetsning. Under svetsning påverkar materialets egenskaper produktiviteten för svetsprocessen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur svetshastighet och materialval påverkar svetsprocessen och produktivitet.

En litteraturstudie genomfördes för att beskriva svetsprocessen och olikheter i tillverkningen av de olika plåtkvaliteterna samt hur olika legeringsämnen påverkar plåtkvaliteten. Dessutom beskrivs Svetsdefekter samt metoder för detektering av svetsdefekter förklaras. Testbitar av de olika plåtkvaliteterna svetsa samman genom gasmetallbågsvetsning och undersöks sedan.

Resultatet visar på att variationer i svetsprocessen förekommer vid mätning av inträningen. Resultat visar även på att svetshastigheten och förekomsten av en spalt har liten inverkan på hårdheten i svetsen eller den värmepåverkade zonen samt att S355MC i större utsträckning lider av en snävare övergångsradie an S355NL och S355MC Si. Detta tillsammans med en större area i Y2 regionen av svetsen tyder på att S355MC kan leda av ett starkare inåtgående flöde i smältan vilken kan påverkas av ytaktiva ämnen som syre och svavel.
