Description

Copper coated GMAW wire for welding carbon and C-Mn steels with special surface treatment
Copper coated wires for welding carbon and carbon-manganese steels with tensile strength up to 530 MPa. The special surface treatment ensures consistent welding performance, low spatters and optimal rod feeding. Used for the fabrication of vessel, pipework and for structural steel applications. Due to the high current load capacity, the stable arc and the nearly residual free weld surface the wire offers the best conditions for productive welding processes. Excellent feeding characteristics provides high wire feed rates especially during robotic welding.

Description

Application

Carbon-manganese steels (C-Mn) are the backbone for a wide range of applications in the structural engineering industry. Welding of these steel structures can be successfully achieved provided the material composition is known, appropriate precautions are adopted, and qualified procedures are followed. Weldability varies based on the type of C-Mn steel, and there is a risk of defects such as hydrogen cracking, solidification cracking, or reheat cracking, which depend on specific operating conditions. The proposed consumables offer effective resistance to these issues, emphasizing the importance of a carefully defined welding process. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) are not always necessary, but their adoption depends on the type and thickness of the base material. The desired mechanical properties in the welded joint can be achieved using appropriate consumables. However, the complex structural transformations that occur during the welding thermal cycle require careful evaluation of critical parameters such as the toughness and hardness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Alloy Type

Consumables for welding mild and C-Mn steels of 340-510MPa tensile strength.

Microstructure

Predominantly ferrite.

Materials

Carbon and carbon-manganese steels encompass a wide range of structural and pressure-grade materials commonly used in construction, mechanical engineering, and industrial plant applications. Among the EN-standardized grades are non-alloy structural steels intended for general use, known for their good weldability and progressively higher mechanical strength. The “P” grades, on the other hand, are pressure vessel steels typically used in boilers and heat exchangers. Equivalent ASTM specifications cover a similar scope of applications and are widely adopted internationally for structural components, piping, and fittings exposed to pressure or high temperatures. Lastly, API specifications are typical of the oil & gas sector, particularly for the production of pipelines used in hydrocarbon transport, offering increasing levels of mechanical strength and specific performance requirements.
