In this paper, in order to see weldability behaviour of mild steels joint by the
oxy-hydrogen welding technique, an investigation of changes in mechanical
properties and microstructures of mild steel is carried out. The specimens
with 1.5 mm thickness and 125 mm length are welded by using both the oxy-
hydrogen and oxy-acetylene gases. Microstructural analysis is carried out on
the cross sectional area of the welding zone in order to compare the changes
in weld metals and the heat affected zones in terms of the welding gases. Ex-
perimental results of the tensile strength and microhardness obtained with
mechanical tests show that samples welded with oxy-acetylene exhibited 10%
higher yield strength than that of the samples welded with oxy-hydrogen.
However, the oxy-hydrogen welding technique can be used as an alternative

1. INTRODUCTION
Carbon steel is one of the most consumable metals holding approxi-
mately 94% of the annual steel production in USA. The relatively lim-
ited corrosion resistance of the carbon steel does not change the fact
that it is used in marine applications, pipelines, transport and domes-
tic applications. However, it was shown that green inhibitors could be
used to extend corrosion life of low carbon steel [1].
The importance of welding for the global world economy is well
known. The welding is a major step in the fabrication and maintenance
of the components in building, aerospace and car and transportation
industries. Although the welding technology has been progressively
improving as well as the newly developed and competitive methods ap-
plied for joining structural components, gas welding still remains one
of the most important methods used for connecting elements in many
industrial areas. Most of fusion welding techniques are used in filler
metals. In oxy-gas welding, two kinds of gases are used. While one is
known as flammable, the other is burner. The welding system contains
gas tubes, pressure regulators, hose and welding bits. This welding
technique can be applied as a fusion welding or brazing of several met-
als [2—4]. It has many advantages like being easy to apply, cheap, and
the possibility of using thin and thick parts [5, 6]. However, the major
INVESTIGATION OF CHANGES IN MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MILD STEEL 1563
drawback of many fusion-welding techniques is that the non-uniform
heat input leads to deformation and distortion. An occurrence of re-
sidual stresses in the structure can be problematic for the several
standpoints. The localized heating and non-uniform cooling during
welding result in a complex distribution of residual stress in the joint.
In many countries, fossil fuels are still used, such as coal or oil, which
results in environmental pollution. Recently, numerous activities have
focused on the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, mainly
due to high energy prices, limited fossil fuel resources and their areas
of occurrence, as well as due to the state of the environment. Renewa-
ble energy sources are more attractive and seem to be a fundamental
solution to the above problems. Therefore, hydrogen is the most seri-
ous candidate in this respect. It can be obtained from chemical synthe-
sis of carbon, water and natural gas or from practically endless stocks
such as the distilled water [7, 8]. Recent advances in the electrolysis
process for obtaining welding gases from water have made oxy-gas
welding again attractive [9]. Since mechanical properties and hardness
values for these gases are quite similar, oxy-hydrogen can take place
instead of oxy-acetylene because its cheap and easy applications [10].
In this study, the mild steel is welded by both oxy-acetylene gas and
oxy-hydrogen gas welding techniques. A comparison is made between
two techniques with respect to the mechanical properties and micro-
structure of the mild steel.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
A torch fitted with 1—2 mm nozzle tip is used to provide a flame for
both oxy-acetylene and oxy-hydrogen welding procedure. Oxy-
hydrogen generator is generally used to weld ferrous and nonferrous
metals [11]. Chemical composition of the base metal (AISI 1010) to be
welded is given in Table 1. A wire having same chemical composition
with the base metal is used as filler. Two specimens with 125801.5
mm dimensions were welded to each to form samples. Tensile and bend-
ing tests are performed at room temperature. Tensile tests are carried
out on Instron MLF type machine with 50 kN capacity and tensile
speed is 0.5 mm/min. For each case, three samples are tested and their
average values are used for comparison. For metallographic examina-
tions, the samples were cut mechanically from welded zone into two
pieces called as microstructural samples and then these samples were
hot mounted in bakelite. After grinding them using rough and fine
emery and polishing, the samples are etched in chemical solution of
70% HCl and 30% HNO3. Microstructures of the samples are exam-
ined using an optical microscopy and SEM. Hardness measurements
are carried out using Instron Vickers hardness measurement machine
under the 1 kg load. On each sample, four hardness values are obtained

and then average value of them is calculated.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1. Tensile Test Results
Oxy-hydrogen welded tensile test specimens and their fracture regions
are shown in Fig. 1, a, and Oxy-acetylene welded specimens are shown
in the Fig. 1, b. It can be seen that except for A1 specimen, other spec-
imens are failed without the welding fusion zone indicating of well-
joined process. Almost all specimens are significantly necked in the
base metal because of high ductility. Typical stress—strain curves of
oxy-hydrogen and oxy-acetylene welding are shown in Fig. 2, a, b. It is
well known that the yielding point in mild strength is distinguishable
in stress—strain curves since it appears as an upper and lower yield
point on the curve. This behaviour occurs because of the nitrogen gas,
which causes as a defect and rapid crack growth in that particular mi-
croregion. Usually, the yield point can be associated with small
amounts of interstitial or substitutional impurities. For example, it
has been shown that almost complete removal of carbon and nitrogen
from low-carbon steel by wet-hydrogen treatment will remove the yield
point. However, only about 0.001 percent of either of these elements is
required for an appearance of the yield point where dislocations are
strongly pinned, such as by carbon and nitrogen in iron, new disloca-

tions must be generated to allow the flow stress to drop [12]. The ten-
sile properties of average values are given in Table 2. It is noted that,
for oxy-acetylene weldments, the yield strength and Ultimate Tensile
Strength (UTS) are significantly higher than those for oxy-hydrogen
welded specimens are. However, there is not significant effect of weld-
ing process on the ductility. Besides, elastic behaviour of the oxy-
hydrogen welded specimen is significantly lower than that of oxy-
acetylene welded specimen, but this reduction is recovered in the plas-
tic region, where both results are almost all overlapped.
The structure of a typical oxy-acetylene flame consists of three easi-
ly recognized zones, namely, inner cone zone, acetylene feather (mid-
dle zone), and outer flame zone. In the acetylene feather, the excess
acetylene is at high temperature and under reducing atmosphere. This
leads to complex chemical reactions and the formation of several types
of hydrocarbon compounds, which are not negligible for the welding
process [13]. It is obvious that tensile properties of the materials are
influenced by the flammable gas content.
Carbon is the most crucial element affecting the mechanical proper-
ties of steel. Hence, acetylene includes some amount of carbon, which
can diffuse in the structure during welding and can change the micro-
structure of the heat-affected zone. Carbon affects the formation of
various phases, namely, cementite and even pearlite in the microstruc-
ture.

3.2. Hardness Measurements
Hardness values in specific regions on the weldments are shown in Ta-
ble 3. The type of welding technique plays very important role on the
hardness values in the material. Oxy-acetylene welded specimen has
significantly higher hardness values compared with the counterpart.
Besides, particular regions affect the hardness values, which have the
highest in the fusion zone for both of weldments where melting occurs
and structure completely changed due to the rapid solidification. In
this region, precipitations of pearlite and cementite can occur, and
those structures may enhance the hardness values. Besides, carbon dif-
fusivity in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) may cause significant micro-
structural changes. One of the most crucial effects on hardness of the
steel is the microstructure, which influences the tensile, impact and
fatigue responses [14]. Second highest hardness values are obtained in
the fine grain region where small grains act as a pinning effect and
mobility of the dislocations. It has been concluded that there is a
strong correlation between a materials mechanical properties and its
hardness. In general, an increase in hardness resulted in high tensile
response [15].
3.3. Bending Test Results
Bending is a part of the deformation in many other forming opera-
tions. The pictures of typical bending specimens are shown in Fig. 3.
Both specimens were bended without any macrocracks. It can be said
that both welded specimens perfectly joined. Bending characteristic of

these specimens is mainly related to the ductility, which has quite close
values for both of the welding technique. It is clearly seen that there is
no significant difference between two specimens.
3.4. Microstructure
Oxy-acetylene welded specimen microstructure of the steel is shown in
Fig. 4 and oxy-hydrogen welded specimen microstructure is shown in
Fig. 5. It is clearly seen that there are five distinct regions, which are
base metal, transition region, fine, coarse grain regions and fusion
zones for both weldments. Base metal consists of white ferrite grains
and relatively dark grey pearlite phases, which are located on the grain
boundaries or adjacent to the grains. Most of grains are equiaxed and
uniformly distributed. In the transition zone, specimen undergoes
austenitic temperature and depending on the C and Mn content in this
region resulted in the formation of upper bainite. In the fine grain re-
gion, sample obtains small amount of heat input, which is insufficient

for the grain growth. Relatively small ferrite and pearlite phases are
evident in this region. In the coarse grain region, specimen suffers ex-
tremely high temperature, which causes the grain growth, and coarse
pearlite and ferrite phases are common in this particular region. In
general, the main deleterious effect caused by welding of the steel is
excessive grain growth and formation of cementite, martensite, and
pearlite with a high level of hardness in the HAZ, which are associated
with the presence of carbon and tensile residual stresses, which cause
cold cracking [16]. In the fusion zone, material is melted and rapidly
cooled where Widmanstätten and acicular ferrite occurred. Wid-
manstätten plates are originated from the grain boundaries through
the centre of the grains, but acicular ferrite (needle-like structure) is
squeezed in the middle of the grains. Both specimen microstructures
are very similar, except for fusion zone, where more coarse grains can
be seen for the oxy-hydrogen welded specimen. Besides, higher porosi-
ty can be seen in the oxy-hydrogen welded specimen in the HAZ region,
where hydrogen diffusivity plays significant role. Uygur and Gulenc
[14] stated that an increase in CO2 content causes slight decrease in
ductility, but caused improvements in tensile and yield strength.
These increases can be attributed to solid solution strengthening by the
formation of martensite and bainite in ferrous alloys.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In this study, following conclusions can be reached.
1. Oxy-acetylene welded specimens had significantly higher tensile re-
sponse compared with the counterpart. The welding type does not in-
fluence the ductility.
2. The welding type significantly affects microhardness values of the
particular regions. Hardness values are significantly higher in the
oxy-acetylene welded specimen due to the carbon diffusion.

sition zone (b), fine grain region (c), coarse grain region (d), fusion zone (e).

3. Microstructure consists of five distinct regions, which are base met-
al, transition region, fine-grained region, coarse-grained region, and
fusion zone.
4. Although the microstructures of both weldments are similar, there
are slight changes in the fusion zone and HAZ depending on the hydro-
gen diffusivity.
5. Although some differences are observed in the mechanical proper-
ties and in the microstructure of the weldments, the results prove that
oxy-hydrogen welding could be used in various applications as an al-
ternative clean welding method compared with oxy-acetylene welding.
