Caracterização do aço SAE 8630 modificado, amanteigado com INCONEL 625 pelo processo de soldagem MIG

Abstract

With the recent discovery of the existence of oil deposits in Brazil. Those responsible for the exploitation are becoming increasingly aware of the development of technologies for the extraction of oil and natural gas in deep waters. In this scholarly work, one of these developed technologies, the base metal steel SAE 8630 modified by the addition of metal buttery INCONEL 625 (AWS ER NiCrMo 3) through the MIG welding process, was investigated. To minimize the formation of martensite thermal cycles of annealing 873oC in a period of one hour and two thermal cycles strain relief (before and after buttering), both at temperatures of 677oC in a range of two hours. After these processes it was possible to verify the presence of diffusion processes of chemical elements and formation of possible precipitates. These trials were conducted by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDS while changes in hardness and toughness were observed before and after heat treatment for stress relief of the metal. These are the metallurgical and mechanical results from analysis of the areas close to regions of the MB, HAZ, ZL and MB.
