X-Ray Radiography of Micro-alloyed Steel Joined by Submerged Arc Welding

Abstract

In this study, micro-alloyed steels were welded by usingsubmerged arc welding method. Different welding currentvalues ​​in experimental studies were carried out according to Table 3. After weldingprocess, the radiographic tests were examined by using X-Ray. Theexperimental results indicated that microalloyed steel could be joined by usingthe submerged arc welding technique with sufficient strength. The results ofthe radiographic tests indicated that with increasing welding current, theamount of deep penetration increased in all samples.
