Abstract
Welding experiments using laser-GMA hybrid welding of lap
joint between 6.5 mm thick direct quenched Ramor 500
grade protection steel and 2 mm thick Optim 500 MC
construction steel plates was carried out. The filler
materials used were Union X96 and AISI 316LSi wire.
Direct quenched Ramor 500 grade steel can be used e.g. as
an armour plating applications because it possess
excellent ballistic properties combined with high
strength and hardness. However, joining of above material
by welding can be challenging because of local softening
at heat affected zone regions. The aim was to evaluate
feasibility of hybrid welding process in joining point of
view and to evaluate base and filler material weldability
concerning e.g. hardness distribution across the weld
cross-section. Also dilution assessments were made using
EDS measurements in order to reveal how base and filler
material is distributed across the weld cross-section.
