Estudo de procedimentos de soldagem MIG/MAG para aplicação de revestimentos de liga de níquel inconel 625 em aço estrutural ASTM a387 Gr.11

Abstract

This work aims to study welding techniques applied to repair of components made of ASTM A387 Gr.11 steel, widely used in the oil and gas industry. Due to the working conditions it is needed use materials having good strength and corrosion resistance. UNS N06625 Ni-based alloy (Inconel 625) was used as the filler metal. MIG/MAG welding process was used to apply the temper bead welding technique with two layers. The methodology of this study was divided in stages, in the first one, exploratory trials were carried out to define the relevance of the studied control factors. In the second step, hardness and microstructure criteria were applied for defining the best heat input relations for the application of the double layer technique. The double layer technique was effective in improving the properties of the microstructure in heat affect zone coatings, it was found intense grain refinement. There was also a reduction in microhardness and hardness measurements. For both used shielding gases (Ar + 25% He and Ar + 4% CO2) have been achieved heat input relations with positive deviations. In all these relations the heat input of the second layer is greater than the heat input of the first layer.
