Some of these elements are added deliberately to impart special properties and others are impurities not completely removed (sometimes deliberately) during the steel making process. Elements may be present in solid solution or combined as intermetallic compounds with iron, carbon or other elements. Some elements, namely carbon, nitrogen, boron and hydrogen, form interstitial solutions with iron whereas others such as manganese and silicon form substitutional solutions. Beyond the limit of solubility these elements may also form intermetallic compounds with iron or other elements. Carbon has a major role in a steels mechanical properties and its intended use as illustrated in Figure 1. As the carbon concentration is increases carbon steel, in general, becomes stronger, harder but less ductile. This is an important factor when a steel is required to be welded by joining or surfacing. WELDING AND COATING METALLURGY2 12 October 1999 4 of 69 FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Figure 1 Role of Carbon in Steel 1.2 WELDABILITY OF STEELS When considering a weld, the engineer is concerned with many factors such as design, physical properties, restraint, welding process, fitness-for-purpose etc., which can conveniently be summarized as the base materials “weldability”. Weldability can be defined as “the capacity of a metal to be welded under the fabrication conditions imposed into a specific, suitably designed structure, and to perform satisfactorily in the intended service.” Welding is one of the most important and versatile means of fabrication and joining available to industry. Plain carbon steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, quench and tempered (Q&T) steels, stainless steels, cast irons, as well as a great many non-ferrous alloys such as aluminium, nickel and copper are welded extensively. Welding is of great economic importance, because it is one of the most important tools available to engineers in his efforts to reduce production, fabrication and maintenance costs. A sound knowledge of what is meant by the word “weld” is essential to an understanding of both welding and weldability. A weld can be defined as a union between pieces of metal at faces rendered plastic or liquid by heat, or pressure, or both, with or without the use of filler metal. Welds in which melting occurs are the most common. The great majority of steels welded today consist of low to medium carbon WELDING AND COATING METALLURGY2 12 October 1999 5 of 69 FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY steel (less than 0.4%C).Practical experience over many years has proved that not all steels are welded with ease. For example, low carbon steels of less than 0.15%C can be easily welded by nearly all welding processes with generally high quality results. The welding of higher carbon steels or relatively thick sections may or may not require extra precaution. The degree of precaution necessary to obtain good quality welds in carbon and alloy steels varies considerably. The welding procedure has to take into consideration various factors so that the welding operation has minimal affect on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the base metal. The application of heat, generally considered essential in a welding operation, produces a variety of structural, thermal and mechanical effects on the base metal being welded and on the filler metal being added in making the weld. Effects include: ♦ Expansion and contraction (thermal stresses etc.) ♦ Metallurgical changes (grain growth etc.) ♦ Compositional changes (diffusion effects etc.) In the completed weld these effects may change the intended base metal characteristics such as strength, ductility, notch toughness and corrosion resistance. Additionally, the completed weld may include defects such as cracks, porosity, and inclusions in the base metal, heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal itself. These effects of welding on any given steel are minimized or eliminated through changes in the detailed welding techniques involved in producing the weld. It is important to realize that the suitability of a repair weld on a component or structure for a specific service condition depends upon several factors: ♦ Original design of the structure, including welded joints ♦ The properties and characteristics of the base metal near to and away from the intended welds ♦ The properties and characteristics of the weld material ♦ Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) may not be possible As discussed, a steels weldability will be dependent upon many factors but the amount of carbon will be a principal factor. A steels weldability can be categorized by its carbon content as shown in Table 1.

Below 910°C the structure is body-centred cubic (bcc). Between 910°C and 1390°C iron changes to a face- centred cubic (fcc) structure. Figure 2 Transformation of crystal structure for iron showing contraction occurring at 910°C. WELDING AND COATING METALLURGY2 12 October 1999 7 of 69 FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Figure 3 BCC Crystal Structure Figure 4 FCC Crystal Structure Above 1390°C and up to the melting point at 1534°C the structure reverts back to body-centred cubic form. These are known as allotropic forms of iron. The face-centred cubic form is a close- packed structure being more dense than the body-centred cubic form. Consequently iron will actually contract as it is heated above 910°C when the structure transformation takes place. 2.1 SOLUBILITY OF CARBON The solubility of carbon in the bcc form of iron is very small, the maximum solubility being only about 0.02 wt.% at 723°C. Figure 5 shows there is negligible solubility of carbon in iron at ambient temperature (less than 0.0001 wt.%). Since steels nearly always have more carbon than this, the excess carbon is not in solution but present as the intermetallic compound iron-carbide Fe 3 C known as cementite. ` WELDING AND COATING METALLURGY2 8 of 69 FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Figure 5 Solubility of carbon in α (bcc) iron as a function of temperature In contrast the fcc form of iron dissolves up to 2% carbon, well in excess of the usual carbon content of steels. A steel can therefore be heated to a temperature at which the structure changes from bcc to fcc and all the carbon goes into solution. The way in which carbon is obliged to redistribute itself upon cooling back below the transformation temperature is the origin of the wide range of properties achievable in steels. 3 IRON - IRON CARBIDE PHASE DIAGRAM Fundamental to a study of steel metallurgy is an understanding of the iron – iron carbide phase diagram. The diagram commonly studied is actually the metastable iron – iron carbide system. The true stable form of carbon is graphite, but except for cast irons this only occurs after prolonged heating. Since the carbon in steels is normally present as iron carbide, it is this system that is considered. Figure 7 shows the iron – iron carbide system up to 6 wt.% carbon. We will now consider several important features of this diagram.

At 1147°C liquid of this composition will transform to two solid phases (austenite + cementite) on cooling. This region is important when discussing cast irons but is not relevant to steels. TALLURGY2 3.1 AUSTENITE ( γ ) This region in which iron is fcc, identified in Figures 7 and 8, dissolves up to 2% carbon. This phase is termed austenite or gamma phase. With no carbon present it begins at 910°C on heating but with 0.8% carbon it starts at 723°C. When a steel is heated into the austenite region all carbon and most other compounds dissolve to form a single phase (i.e. normalizing).
