Abstract [English]

Arc stud welding method is a welding method that takes advantage of the arc's ability to melt metals. Stud welding is an easy and fast welding method that is generally applied to surfaces where threading is problematic and welding is difficult. Docol 1500 martensite materials are high-strength steels with high tensile strength up to 1700 MPa and good ductility. These type of materials provide high efficiency, especially in the automotive industry, in terms of both vehicle lightness and advanced crash protection. In this study, the weldability of threaded studs made of 20MnB4 grade carbon steel was investigated using the arc stud welding process on Docol 1500M plate. The arc stud welding process was carried out using a ceramic ferrule at different combination values with electric current values ranging between 300A and 500A and different welding times ranging from 0.125 seconds to 0.300 seconds, as well as variable welding parameters such as 3mm plunge value and 5.9mm lift distance. With the experimental study, the most suitable welding parameters were try to determined according to the size and properties of the materials to obtain a quality welded. At the end of welding process, the effects of arc stud welding parameters such as welding current, welding time, plunge and lifting distance on mechanical and microstructural properties were experimentally investigated.
