Abstract
This paper mainly studies the welding of stainless steel 321 and carbon steel Q245R dissimilar steel. Welding tests of stainless steel 321 and carbon steel Q245R are carried out by A-TIG welding method. The effect of active agent on weld penetration, weld formation and inner hole slag inclusion is studied. The mechanical properties of welded joints is measured by tensile and bending mechanics tests, and the macroscopic and microscopic structures are observed. Furthermore, these tests and research results are compared with conventional TIG welding. The results show that the welding of dissimilar steel with A-TIG welding method is well formed, and there are no pores, cracks and slag inclusion in the weld. The weld microstructure of the two welding methods is mainly austenite and ferrite. In the Q245R side heat affected zone (HAZ), the migration of carbon elements is obvious, but the A-TIG welding joint is superior to the conventional TIG welding in strength and toughness.
