TY - JOUR TI - Investigation of the Effect of Solid Wire and Flux Combinations Used in Submerged Arc Welding of the LPG Cylinders on Mechanical Properties AB - Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder is a type of pressure vessel that used to store and transport liquefied gases. In this study, S460MC steel with a thickness of 1.50 mm and submerged arc welding method were used in the manufacturing of LPG cylinders. Selection of the welding consumables (wire, flux) and optimization of the welding parameters (current, voltage, travel speed) are the primary focus of the study. Selected welding parameters have been verified as a result of visual and radiographic (X-ray) tests and macroscopic examinations. In order to analyze the effects of welding consumables on mechanical properties, test specimens were prepared, then tensile and hardness tests were performed and it was observed that molybdenum element increased the mechanical strength. In order to fulfill the requirements of the LPG cylinder production standard, bursting & volumetric expansion tests and pressure fatigue tests were performed and the requirements were met.
