8Mild SteelWelding Heat InputThe heat input from the welding process plays a major role in theheating and cooling cycles experienced by the weld and parentplate during welding. For a given plate thickness, a high heat inputis likely to result in a slower cooling rate than a low heat input, andwill therefore produce a softer microstructure in the HAZ that isless prone to hydrogen cracking. However, that does not mean thatwelding should always be carried out with a high heat input, becausethis brings with it other problems, such as loss of mechanicalproperties and an increased risk of solidification cracking. So itis necessary to select a heat input to give a sound weld with thedesired mechanical properties and to use preheat to exert controlof the cooling rate.Heat input ‘Q’ may be calculated as:Q =k x V x I x 60S x 1000kJ / mmwhere ‘V’ is arc Voltage (V),‘I’ is welding current, and ‘S’ is weldingspeed in mm/min.The value derived from this formula may be multiplied by a factor‘k’, the thermal efficiency factor for the welding process, to give anenergy input that takes the efficiency of the welding process intoaccount. Typical thermal efficiency factors are:■ ‘k’ = 1.0 for submerged arc welding■ ‘k’ = 0.8 for MIG / MAG, MMA, flux-cored and metal-cored arcwelding■ ‘k’ = 0.6 for TIG and plasma weldingFor example, when MIG welding, the welding heat input formulabecomes:0.8 x V x I x 60Q =kJ / mmS x 1000Welding heat input will vary with process and consumable type andsize. With small diameter electrodes, low current and fast weldingspeeds, heat inputs below 1.0kJ / mm are readily attained. With largediameter electrodes, high currents and slower welding speeds, heatinputs in excess of 6.0kJ / mm can be reached.Note that a weld made using a stringer bead technique will have alower heat input than a weld made with the same size electrode atthe same current but using a weave bead technique.For more extensive calculation on heat input and preheatrequirements of steel, refer to the WTIA Technical Note 1 and AS/NZS 1554.1.Combined ThicknessThe cooling rate of plate in the region of a weld depends on thethickness of the plates in the joint, the number of plates meeting atthe joint, the amount of heat put into the weld area, and the initialtemperature of these plates. Cooling occurs by conduction andso the greater the heat sink, the faster the cooling rate. Therefore,other factors being constant, the thicker the plate, the greater thepotential for rapid cooling, and so the greater the likelihood ofhardening in the HAZ of susceptible steels.Estimates of preheat will normally take into account the thicknessof each of the components in the joint to allow for the coolingeffect. The thickness of each component is added together to givewhat is normally referred to as ‘combined thickness’ (CT).How the combined thickness is derived depends on the jointconfiguration and is illustrated below:CT = T1 + T2 + T3 …Example of combined thickness calculation for butt jointT1Example of combined thickness calculation for fillet jointT1T3For butt welds, the CT equals the sum of the thicknesses of thetwo plates being welded; for fillet welds, the CT equals twice thethickness of the base plate plus the thickness of the up-stand.Therefore, for a given plate thickness, a fillet joint has a fastercooling rate than a butt joint.T2T2WARNING Welding can give rise to electric shock, excessive noise, eye and skin burns due to the arc rays, and a potential health hazard if you breathe in the emitted fumes and gases.Read all the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the correct welding conditions and ask your employer for the Materials Safety Data Sheets.

Excellent profile mitre fillets are produced, having asmooth transition with the base material and ensuring excellent slagdetachability.ApplicationSmootharc 24 has been designed to produce the highest possibleproductivity when depositing fillet welds with a leg length in the4 to 6 mm range in the heavier section construction steels. Thiselectrode performs exceptionally well when welding ‘inside corner’fillets. Fillet welds can also be made in primer treated materialwithout porosity or fusion defects along the top edge.TechniqueThe best results are obtained using the touch welding technique,with the electrode held at a sufficient angle to prevent the moltenslag from crowding the arc.

It has excellent mechanicaland X-ray properties.ApplicationFor the welding of all section steels, tank work and generalfabrication. Suitable for unalloyed, micro alloyed and low alloyedsteels.TechniqueAs with all hydrogen-controlled electrodes, as short an arc aspossible should be kept at all times. When starting with a newelectrode the arc should be initiated ahead of the start of the weldor crater and worked back over this distance before continuing theweld in the required direction.

8Mild SteelMMA ElectrodesHydrogen ControlledSmootharc 18DescriptionSmootharc 18 is a basic-coated low hydrogen AC / DC electrodefor which the outstanding all round operability has been optimised.The smooth, soft arc, easy slag control, all positional weldingwith low spatter and excellent slag removal provide maximumoperator appeal. The electrode is suitable for welding mild andhigher strength steels. It combines strength and toughness and isparticularly suitable for heavily restrained sections where there canbe risk of cracking due to weld stress.ApplicationWith its excellent general operability and good positional weldingcharacteristics, the Smootharc 18 is used for general fabricationwork as well as pipe welding where the fine spray transfer providesprecise weld pool control. The fine arc spray also makes it an idealelectrode for the experienced welder, and for positional work indemanding applications.The electrode produces a finely rippled bead surface andsmooth transition with the base material. This, together with theexceptionally good slag detachability, even in root runs, gives theSmootharc 18 superior radiographic quality. It is also an idealelectrode for use on AC machines with an OCV of 70V.TechniqueAs with all basic hydrogen-controlled electrodes, as short an arcas possible should be kept at all times.
