Evaluation of AH36 microalloyed steel welded joint by submerged arc welding process with one and two wires

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 me...
