Ar–N2-O2 ternary shielding gas is employed in dissimilar welding between high nitrogen steel and low alloy steel. The effect of O2 and N2 is investigated based on the systematical analysis of the metal transfer, nitrogen escape phenomenon, weld appearance, nondestructive detection, nitrogen content distribution, microstructure and mechanical properties. There are two nitrogen sources of the nitrogen in the weld: high nitrogen base material and shielding gas. The effect of shielding gas is mainly reflected in these two aspects. The change of the droplet transfer mode affects the fusion ratio, N2 in the shielding gas can increase nitrogen content and promote the nitrogen uniform distribution. The addition of 2% O2 to Ar matrix can change the metal transfer from globular transfer to spray transfer, high nitrogen base material is thereby dissolved more to the molten pool, making nitrogen content increase, ferrite decrease and the mechanical properties improve. When applying N2-containing shielding gas, arc stability becomes poor and short-circuiting transfer frequency increases due to the nitrogen escape from droplets and the molten pool. Performance of the joints is improved with N2 increasing, but internal gas pores are easier to appear because of the poor capacity of low alloy steel to dissolve nitrogen, The generation of pores will greatly reduce the impact resistance. 4–8% N2 content in shielding gas is recommended in this study considering the integrated properties of the dissimilar welded joint. |
