Development Of Stainless Steel Welding Wire For Galvanized Steel Sheets

Galvanneal is the process of taking hot dipped galvanized steel and passing it through a furnace to anneal the coating.

Development of stainless steel welding wire for galvanized steel sheets.

This process causes the iron and zinc layers to diffuse into one another causing the formation of zinc iron alloy layers at the surface. Stainless steel and galvanized materials often are found together in the industry with applications such as galvanized fasteners stainless steel pressure vessels and roof and siding panels. There are five types of stainless steels depending on the other. The use of austenitic stainless steel welding materials with suitable ductility and high corrosion resistance appears to be beneficial.

Similar to galvanized steel is galvanneal steel. The thin but dense chromium oxide film which forms on the surface of a stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and prevents further oxidation. For mild steel galvanized steel sheet j421 j422 or j423 welding rods should be preferred. For galvanized steel plates with a strength of over 600mpa the welding rods of e6013 e5503 and e5513 should be selected.

The presence of two dissimilar metals in an assembly is not always a sign of trouble but it could be a problem. As a result the corrosion resistance is deteriorated and repair coating treatment is required after welding. When galvanized sheets are welded zinc near a weld molten pool evaporates.
