Abstract
The current research studied two samples of rail steel grade 900A deposited with different electrodes, namely, electrodes A and B, using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process. This research fi nds out the suitable hardness values of the various electrodes. The phase identifi cation and microstructural analysis of weld metal were conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and an optical microscope, respectively. The micro-hardness profi les along the cross-section of the weldment were acquired using a micro-Vickers hardness tester, and a Brinell hardness tester measured the hardness values on the top surface of the weld metal. According to the results, the diffraction angles of the XRD patterns for all weld metal samples differed due to their distinct microstructures. The microstructure of the weld metal, in particular, produced the primary infl uence on the hardness
期刊介绍:
The Chiang Mai Journal of Science is an international English language peer-reviewed journal which is published in open access electronic format 6 times a year in January, March, May, July, September and November by the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. Manuscripts in most areas of science are welcomed except in areas such as agriculture, engineering and medical science which are outside the scope of the Journal. Currently, we focus on manuscripts in biology, chemistry, physics, materials science and environmental science. Papers in mathematics statistics and computer science are also included but should be of an applied nature rather than purely theoretical. Manuscripts describing experiments on humans or animals are required to provide proof that all experiments have been carried out according to the ethical regulations of the respective institutional and/or governmental authorities and this should be clearly stated in the manuscript itself. The Editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts that fail to do so.
