| Research Abstract |
Gas-and slag-metal reactions during arc-welding processes of metallic materials were studied thermodynamically. The results are as follows:
(1) Iron alloys were gas-tungsten-arc-melted and GTA welded under various atmospheres including nitrogen gas to study the nitrogen absorption of molten iron alloys during welding processes. The nitrogen absorption behaviour of iron alloy during arc-melting or arc-welding did not obey sieverts' law. The nitrogen contents of arc-melted metals were higher than the equilibrium solubilities. The nitrogen content of weld metal was lower than the equilibrium solubility, only when the solubility is high, such as the cases of high chromium alloys or pressurized nitrogen atmospheres. These facts suggest that the presence of high temperature arc and the shortage of reaction time affect the nitrogen content of weld metal. However, the effects of alloying elements on the nitrogen absorption of arc-melted or arc-welded iron alloys were roughly equal to equilibrium ones.
(2) Iron alloys were gas-tungsten-arc-melted and GMA welded under various atmospheres including oxygen. The effects of alloying elements ('silicon, manganese, aluminium, titanium) on the oxygen absorption of weld metal were systematically studied. The mechanisms of oxygen absorption and deoxidation were discussed by examining the composition, morphology, number and amount of oxide inclusions in the weld metals.
(3) Steels were submerged-arc-welded with simplified flux compositions to study slag-metal reactions during welding processes. The effect of flux composition on the oxygen content of weld metal was examined systematically.
