TITLE : STUDY ON TENSILE PROPERTIES OF AISI 304L GRADE AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL JOINTS BY GTA WELDING  
ABSTRACT :

The present study is concerned with the effect of filler metal austenitic stainless steel (AISI 308L) on tensile properties of the austenitic stainless steel conforming to AISI 304L grade. Because of their mechanical properties, 304L austenitic stainless steel is used widely in industry. Gas tungsten arc welding is most widely used as a joining process for sheet materials. Tensile properties and microstructure of the joints fabricated by austenitic stainless steel filler metal (AISI 308) were evaluated and the results were reported. Rolled plates of 3 mm thickness were used as the base material for preparing single V butt welded joints. Yield strength, Ultimate tensile strength and percentage of elongation across the weld has been reported. The tensile properties of the welded joints have been evaluated using Electro mechanical controlled Universal Testing Machine. The welding microstructures and tensile test results were analyzed using an optical microscopy and stress - displacement curves.

Keywords: Tensile properties, Austenitic stainless steel, Gas tungsten arc welding, Microstructure.
