Patent number: 9550254Abstract: A pure Ar-MIG welding wire for welding steel according to the present invention is formed of a flux-cored wire. The flux-cored wire is formed in the manner that a formation formed by welding a carbon steel hoop into a pipe shape or a seamless pipe is used as an outer sheath, the outer sheath is filled with a flux, and a wire drawing process is performed. The flux accounts for 7 to 27 mass % of the total wire mass. The wire contains graphite in the amount of 0.16 to 2.00 mass % on the basis of the total wire mass and iron powder in the amount of 20 mass % on the basis of the total flux mass. According to the construction, neither expensive metal resource nor a greenhouse effect gas is used, slag and fume generation is inhibited, and a weld joint having a high static tensile strength and fatigue strength can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel, Ltd.)Inventors: Reiichi Suzuki, Yu Umehara, Toshihiko Nakano

Publication number: 20080142490Abstract: A gas-shielded arc welding method uses a shielding gas and a solid wire for pulsation welding. The solid wire contains S, Si, Mn, C and P in predetermined S, Si, Mn, C and P contents, and other elements including Fe and unavoidable elements. A pulsating current used for pulsation welding has a peak current Ip of 350 A or above and a pulse peak duration Tp between 0.5 and 2.0 ms. The shielding gas is a mixed gas containing 75 to 98% by volume Ar and others including at least either of CO2 and O2. The gas-shielded arc welding method can suppress the generation of spatters regardless of welding speed even if the welding speed is high, and can form a wide, flat bead having uniform toes. A weld metal produced by the gas-shielded arc welding method is resistant to cracking and excellent in preventing the formation of blowholes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2007Publication date: June 19, 2008Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho ( Kobe Steel, Ltd.)Inventors: Reiichi Suzuki, Yu Umehara
