1 Claim, No Drawings The invention herein described was made in the course of or under a contract or subcontract thereunder with the Department ofthe Navy.
This invention relates to steel weld deposits; more particularly, it relates to low alloy steel weld deposits which exhibit high strength and notch-toughness both as-welded and after heat treatment.
In the field of low alloy high strength steels with yield strengths above about 100 ksi, particularly HY-l30/ 150 type steels with yield strengths of at least 130 ksi, there has been a need for high performance weld metals which in asingle deposit will have yield and tensile strengths and impact toughness approximately equal to those of the base metal both as-deposited and in the heat treated (i.e., quenched and tempered) condition. Weld deposited metal is always under a handicap compared with plate material and must be more shrewdly formulated because it lacks the advantages of the mechanical hot work treatments which produce grain refinement in plate material. In spite of this handicap low alloy steel weld deposit analyses and methods of deposition have been developed which produce as-deposited metal with yield strength at least matching that of the available hot worked and heat treated plate material, coupled with suitable toughness. Requiring the highest quality welding processes, such deposits were recently produced by means of inert gas shielded methods used with high purity alloy-bearing filler wires. This level of performance has first been achieved with deposits from manual low hydrogen lime-fluoride covered electrodes, which was a more difficult goal. However, heat treatment of such deposits, often necessary in the fabrication of heavy sections, causes a drop in mechanical properties, often to levels which are unacceptable in the end use of the weldment.
We are able to produce steel weld deposits which exhibit yield strengths above 100 ksi and typically 130-160 ksi and Charpy V-notch toughness above 20 ft.-lbs. at -60 F. and typically 30-50 ft.-lbs. at 60 F both as-deposited according to recommended procedures, and after a heat treatment typically consisting of austenitizing at l,500 F. for 1 hour, water quenching, tempering at 1,l F. for 1 hour and again water quenching. As compared to earlier weld metals of the HY-l30/I50 type, which are suitable for as-welded use but not for heat treatment, our weld deposits are characterized by a novel balance of those chemical elements which have proven most effective in the as-welded grades, and also by a retention of the earlier emphasis on limitations in the harmful elements phosphorus and sulfur to levels below 0.020 per cent. by weight and preferably below 0.012 per cent. by weight.
A particularly attractive aspect of our weld deposits is that they may exhibit the above mentioned as-deposited and heattreated properties when deposited with low hydrogen limefluoride covered electrodes utilizing conventional commercial quality rimmed steel core wires. Such electrodes, which were the chosen means for producing weld deposits which established the existence and limitations of our invention, offer significant economic advantages over the simpler but much more expensive high purity wire and gas-metal-arc (GMA) processes which are also applicable and which have heretofore been widely used in investigating and producing HY-l 30/150 weld metals.
We provide low carbon steel weld deposits characterized by chromium up to 1.0 per cent. by weight, nickel 6.5 11 per cent. by weight, molybdenum up to 1.0 per cent. by weight and vanadium up to 0.12 per cent. by weight; the deposits preferably contain chromium 0.05 0.6 per cent. by weight, nickel 7 9 per cent. by weight, molybdenum 0.2 0.8 per cent. by weight and vanadium 0.04 0.09 per cent. by weight.
We further provide a weld deposit consisting essentially of Percent by Weight Chromium up to 1.0 Nickel 6.5-1 1 Molybdenum up to 1.0 Vanadium .up to 0.12 Phosphorus 0.020 max. Sulfur 0.020 max. Iron Balance In a preferred form the deposit consists essentially of Percent by Weight We further provide such deposits that exhibit yield strengths of at least ksi and Charpy V-notch energy absorption at 60 F. of at least 20 ft.-lbs. after heat treatment consisting of austenitizing at 1,500 F. for 1 hour, water quenching, tempering at 1,100 F. for 1 hour and water quenching.
Realization of the optimum as-welded properties of our improved weld deposits will depend on the conditions under which they are deposited, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. In the I-IY-130/ area certain practices, such as low welding heat input and small bead size, are known to maximize as-welded strength and toughness of the deposit; somewhat surprisingly, however, the as-welded properties of our deposits are relatively insensitive to heat input, which is a significant advantage when they are produced with covered electrodes under field conditions. In addition to such general practices the specific welding process employed to produce our improved weld deposits will have a definite effect on the degree of retention of the maximum as-welded deposit properties attainable; it is well established that the higher the weld metal purity, the more its properties will approach the optimum for its overall alloy balance. Purity in this context not only means low levels of residual or tramp elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen but also includes aspects such as size and shape of inclusions, etc. The gas-tungsten-arc (GTA) process with pre-alloyed high purity filler metal additions, which provides the highest purity weld metal, can be expected to be optimum for producing our deposits; somewhat lower on the scale, although still very good, is the GMA process utilizing argon-oxygen or equivalent shielding gases and pre-alloyed electrode wire. As above indicated, we have also found that our new analysis can be weld deposited with good results close to those obtained with the GMA process and at much lower cost with properly formulated high quality low hydrogen lime-fluoride covered electrodes. Deposits produced by other types of covered electrodes or submerged arc welding can be expected to exhibit inferior aswelded properties to a degree dependent on the specific process used and the purity of the resultant weld metal. Heattreated properties are less dependent on welding processes and conditions since austenitizing of the deposit causes recrystallization, which wipes out many of the effects of welding variables.
The low hydrogen lime-fluoride covered electrode which we have used for producing our deposits meets a general specification for this class of electrode and consists of a mild steel core and a lime-fluoride coating thereon, the electrode containing by weight about 45 per cent. to about 80 per cent. core and about 20 per cent. to about 5 5 per cent. coating, the coating containing by weight of the electrode up to about 30 per cent. iron powder and alloying metal powder, about 2 per cent. to about 7 per cent. deoxidizer metal powder, about 4 per cent. to about 15 per cent. metal fluoride, about 5 per cent. to about 15 per cent. alkaline earth carbonate, 0 to about 10 per cent. slag builder and modifier and about 0.5 per cent. to about 8 per cent. inorganic binder material.

Although the deposits described in Tables 2, 3 and 4 were produced with low hydrogen lime-fluoride covered electrodes, similar results have been achieved with deposits produced by the gas-metal arc (GMA) process; typical GMA welding involves a .062- diameter bare wire electrode, 320 amperes and 26 volts direct current reverse polarity and 98 per cent. argon, 2 per cent. oxygen shielding gas at 50 cubic feet per hour flow rate. Similarly, our improved weld deposits may be produced by other welding processes such as gas-tungsten-arc welding, submerged arc welding, electroslag welding, etc. Any such process should be suitable as long as the weld deposit conforms to the above described composition.
