A Management & ALL ELECTRODE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE AT THIS SITE REQUIRE WELD QUALIFICATION BEFORE THE WELD CONSUMABLES ARE APPROVED.
Engineers Guide to MIG
Weld Quality,
Productivity and Costs Note: When you see high tensile weld electrodes required, this is usually an indication that pre heat interpass and post heat treatment is required for the welds
Fatigue:
The ability of a metal or weld to withstand repeated loads. Fatigue failures occur at stress levels less than the metal or weld yield strength. Some things that can influence fatigue failure:
When welding low and medium carbon steels, the 70XX electrodes and E70S-3-6 MIG wires and E7XT-X flux cored electrodes can be used. When welding low alloy 1 1/4 Cr 1/2 Mo and 2 1/4 Cr 1 Mo with up to 0.05% max carbon, typically 8018-B2L / 9018-B3L (L = low carbon) can be used. When welding higher strength alloys or when tempering and quenching are required to attain the higher strengths the higher carbon 8018 B2 and 9018 B3 electrodes are utilized.
MIG E70S-3-6 Minimum Yield 60,000 psi Minimum Tensile 72,000 psi.
Mechanical Strength of Gas Shielded Flux Cored Electrodes from the ANSI/AWS A5.29.
1198 Specification Low Alloy Steel Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc Welding
Brittleness:
The ease at which the weld or metal will break or crack without appreciable deformation. When a metal gets harder it becomes more brittle. Preheat, inter-pass temp controls and post heat all are designed to reduce the potential for brittleness.
Hardness test. The hardness tester forces a small sphere (Brinell, HB), a diamond pyramid (Vickers, HV) or a cone (Rockwell C, HRC) into the surface of a metallic material. The indentation is then measured.
In many cases the manufacturer that uses ASTM steels will find that it's not
necessary for the weld to match the mechanical properties of the steel, (its
often better for the weld to have more ductility than the plate) and therefore
low hydrogen, highly ductile SMAW E7018 / E70S-3-6 MIG wires or E7XT-X flux
cored electrodes are used.
When using the low hydrogen electrodes, the pre and post heat treatment
recommendations are frequently eliminated, however from a weld quality
perspective always ensure that the weld locations are dry, the base metal is
over 60 F, and that rust and mill scale is removed from the weld area. Also
even when heat treatment is not used its frequently beneficial to not allow the
multi-pass inter-pass weld temperatures to exceed 250 F.
Welding alloy steels often may require unique weld or heat treat considerations. Compare the low alloy steels chemistry and mechanicals with a standard A36 steel. Remember this site is only a guide, weld responsibility starts with "you" First verify the weld consumable and then the material heat treat recommendations.
The yield strength, the stress that can be applied to a base metal or weld without permanent deformation of the metal.
The tensile strength, "the ultimate tensile strength" is the maximum tensile strength that the metal or weld can with stand before failure occurs.
Lamellar Tearing:When welding, the weld shrinkage stresses impose tensile strains in the steel plate or on inclusions paralleled to the plate surface. The tensile strains can separate the inclusions causing cracks. Excessive strains can further elongate the cracks. Carbon, manganese and low alloy steels made at the mill with inadequate deoxidization are sensitive to lamellar tearing. The potential for lamellar tearing increases with the amount of inclusions in the plates being welded. Of special concern is when the inclusions are parallel to the plate surface. More data in ASTM A770 / A770M Standard Spec for through
thickness tension testing of steel plates.

When mill scale is a problem, what MIG or flux cored weld parameter needs to be changed and why? The solutions are in Ed's books.
E-Mail Feb2007What affect does flame cutting API X-80 or 550 gr. pipe have on the HAZ? Is 6010 a good root pass rod for this material?
From Brian : It may be that all X-80 is not creaed equal: it could be seamless quench and tempered, or DSAW TMCP plate. We have had some seamless that had a high alloy content, with a very hard HAZ, and could be susceptable to hydrogen cracking - need to consider minimum preheat and would personally try to avoid any cellulosic rod such as that 6010, but that is just my own bias. The TMCP material we have used was marvelous - soft HAZ, low minimum preheat..wonderful in every way except price tag!

Hardness:
The resistance of the metal or the weld to penetration. Hardness is related to the strength of the metal. A good way to test a weld after the weld and heat treatment are complete, is to test the hardness of weld and the base metal surrounding the weld.

Ductility: The amount that a metal or weld will deform without breaking. Measured on welds by the % of elongation in a 2 inch 51 mm test piece. An E71T-1 flux cored electrode should result in a minimum of 20% elongation. An E70S--6 MIG weld should produce approx 22%.
Toughness:The ability of the metal or weld sample at a predetermined temperature to withstand a shock.The test for toughness measures the impact of a pendulum on a notched specimen. You may see that the required impact properties for the metal or weld are 20ft-lbf @ -20 F (27 j @ -29C)

Why is it some manufactures do not use the recommended heat treatment, and instead of using electrodes that match the base metal properties they use weld consumables with typically lower strength but more ductility?

If you are teaching your self, or providing weld process control training for others, the following resources are the key to attaining MIG and flux cored weld process optimization.
Item.1. The Book: "A Management & Engineers Guide To MIG Weld Quality, Productivity & Costs"
Item 5a."Proceso de Soldadura MIG Manual" (MIG Made Simple. Self teaching in Spanish)
Item 6a. The Self Teaching MIG Book/ Video. (MIG Made Simple in English).
Note: Items 2-3-4 are the most comprehensive process control, self teaching and training programs ever developed..
Visit Ed's MIG / flux cored process control books and CD training resources.
Use Ed's process control resources to provide optimum PQR's and weld
procedures, however if you want the most simple method to
develop ASME - API - AWS weld procedures, check out;
