PENGARUH WAKTU PENGELASAN TERHADAP STRUKTUR MIKRO, KEKERASAN DAN KAPASITAS BEBAN TARIK PADA PENGELASAN SPOT TIG SAMBUNGAN DISSIMILAR METAL ANTARA STAINLESS STEEL 430 DAN BAJA KARBON RENDAH
Abstract
The join process using the point welding method (resistance) of non-similar metal material has been widely carried out. This welding process is carried out by clamping the material between two electrodes which are electrified so as to reach the melting point of the material so that it can blend. This type of welding will produce marks on both sides of the welded material. Welding of TIG spot types is done to develop from TIG welding machines and can be used for spot welding. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of time variation of emphasis on microstructure, hardness, and tensile load capacity on the joints of the weld results of different TIG spot material methods.
The material used in this study is 430 stainless steel plate and low carbon steel with a thickness of 0.8 mm each with a length of 10 cm x 3 cm wide. This study uses the type of overlap with the position of low carbon steel at the top and stainless steel 430 at the bottom. The parameters used in this welding process are the pressing time of 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds and the current strength of 95 A which is constant at each time variation. This study uses three types of testing namely metallographic testing, hardness testing and tensile testing.
The results showed that in the weld metal area between stainless steel 430 with low carbon steel there was a change in grain size and became morecoarse, the microstructure in the weld metal area was dominated by ferrite, acicular ferrite, and martensite. The low carbon steel metal weld area has the highest hardness value, that is at 2 seconds time variation of ± 354HV. The highest value of shear pull capacity is at 4 seconds with a value of 4364.09 N, while the highest shear tensile strength value at 2 seconds with a value of 158.41 N / mm. From the research that has been carried out time parameters the emphasis is very influential on the value of shear tensile load, microstructure and hardness.
