Abstract
Influence of technological factors (oxygen potential of the flux, welding wire-base metal combination, and cooling rate) on mechanical properties of the studied welds on high-strength low-alloyed 12KhN2MDF and 09G2FB steels was analyzed. Derived results are in agreement with the type of microstructure, composition and distribution of non-metallic inclusions, and features of austenite decomposition in the studied weld metal. It is shown that addition of finely-dispersed refractory inclusions of titanium and zirconium oxides to the weld metal allows achievement of high values of strength (st == 700-710 MPa) and impact toughness (KCV-20 = 80-100 J/cm2).
