Influence of Microstructural Heredity on a Temperature Distribution and Formation of Two-Pass Welded Joints of EP718 Superalloy Obtained by Robotic GMA Welding
摘要
This paper features a study of the effect of pulsed-arc GMA welding (welding with a consumable electrode in argon) with EP533 welding wire with transverse vibrations on the formation of the microstructure of the weld zone and the weld-affected zone of EP718 superalloy welded joints. Results of the optical microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron back-scattered diffraction of EP718 superalloy welded joints, obtained by robotic GMA welding, confirmed the presence of the so-called microstructural heredity, caused by the edge preparation, on the microstructure of the weld zone during welding in energy-efficient regimes.
