SUSU scientists and their colleagues from China worked on welding a new and unusual structural material. A study on modeling and optimizing the weld profile under various welding conditions was published in the highly-rated International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (Q1). As a result of the research, the scientists determined the welding mode, voltage, wire feed speed, welding speed, which ensure high strength properties of the joint and the necessary microstructure.
An international team of researchers from the SUSU Polytechnic Institute reviewed the welding process of A606 steel, known in our market as Corten steel or COR-TEN steel. This kind of steel was recently developed and has high atmospheric corrosion resistance.
It is important to study the technical characteristics of the material and the features of its welding process since this type of steel is a promising material and has many applications. Mainly thin sheets are made of it. They are used in shipbuilding, bridge building, the production of sea containers, pipes, tanks, in construction and landscape design. We can find similar design solutions in Chelyabinsk.
«High atmospheric corrosion resistance is due to such alloying elements as copper and phosphorus. The same elements are considered harmful additives in other steels. In addition to these components, the composition contains elements inherent in low-alloy steels, including nickel, silicon, manganese, chromium, and carbon. The high...
