Increasing Strength and Operational Reliability of Fixed Joints of Tubes by ММА Welding

This paper presents peculiar properties of structure formation, phase and chemical composition while welding of low-alloy steel 09MnSi2-1 depending on the dynamic characteristics of power sources of different types. Proper selection of power sources enables to decrease burning of alloy elements in metal of weld (Mn by 14% and Si by 17% of the weight ratio), to obtain more homogenous structure of deposited metal, to reduce length of heat-affected zone by 50% and to improve impact strength by 4-9%
