RESUMO

Shipbuilding is going through a period of revitalization, growth and technological advancement. One component of these innovations is to improve welding techniques and materials for optimizing processing time, reducing costs and to improve properties and ship performance. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the welding of microalloyed shipbuilding steel, AH36, using the submerged arc welding (SAW) process with one and two wires. The mechanical properties of the welded joint will be presented using microhardness and Charpy V-notch testing. For metallographic characterization, the base metal and welded joint were etched with 2% Nital and Klemm's I reagent. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and colored etching were used to quantify and verify the presence of martensite and retained austenite, the MA microconstituent. The results obtained from Charpy impact tests and another mechanical test can be correlated with the associated microstructure.
