STRUCTURAL STEEL
Description

Application

Carbon-manganese (C-Mn) steels serve as the predominant structural steels extensively used across various applications in the engineering industry. Successful welding of C-Mn steel fabrications is generally achievable, provided the steel composition is known, necessary precautions are taken, and qualified procedures are adhered to. Weldability varies among C-Mn steels, with potential cracking mechanisms, including hydrogen cracking, solidification cracking, and reheat cracking, depending on specific circumstances. These consumables effectively resist such issues, emphasizing the importance of a meticulous welding procedure. While preheat and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may not be universally required, the actual specifications depend on the grade and thickness of the base material being welded. Attaining the required mechanical properties in a welded joint with C-Mn steels is achievable through the use of appropriate welding consumables. However, the intricate structural changes during the weld thermal cycle necessitate careful evaluation of properties such as heat-affected zone (HAZ) toughness and hardness.

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.
