Parameter Impacts of Martensitic Structure on Tensile Strength and Hardness of TIG Welded SS410 with characterized SEM Consequences

Consuming various TIG welding settings, the impact of mechanical properties on the butt joint of 410-Martensitic Stainless Steel Plate is explored. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and hardness are evaluated on the welded butt junction plates using three levels of 200 A, 220 A and 240 A welding currents and the electrode diameters of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 mm and four factor parameters of inputs. Welding current, wire feed rate, electrode diameter, and gas flow rate are set as input parameters. The optimal input responses of welding current, electrode diameter, wire feed rate, and gas flow rate are employed over the 27 sample specimens based on array L27 Design of Experiment tool. The input parameters 240 A of welding current have improved significantly over the structural changes on martensitic form which is evidenced by their multiple SEM Micrographs, as it can be seen in the Hardness up to maximum of 512 BHN and the Tensile strength of 1090 N/mm2 outcomes.
