Abstract
The effect of shielding gas composition on intergranular corrosion of the fusion zone formed by bi-stabilized ferritic stainless steel plates (AISI 441) and ER430Ti and ER430LNb filler metals during gas metal arc welding was investigated. Double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation tests were conducted to examine the influence of the shielding gas content (Ar + 2%O2, Ar + 8%CO2 and Ar + 25%CO2) on intergranular corrosion of the ferritic stainless steel welds. It was possible to observe an increase in the tendency toward sensitization with the increase in the CO2 content in the shielding gas, especially with the ER430Ti filler metal. Analysis of the formed precipitates by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy allowed to notice that high levels of CO2 blended in the shielding gas increase the intergranular precipitates and lead to significant intergranular corrosion, which was induced by the Cr-depletion zone formation, especially for the welds produced with the ER430Ti filler metal.

1 Introduction
Ferritic stainless steels (FSS) are employed for innumerous applications, and their use as base material for automotive exhaust systems is very common. These parts are usually composed of metallic formed tubes and blanks (stamped metal sheets), which are usually joined by means of a welding process. A number of studies [1,2,3,4] have been conducted targeting the development of ferrite stainless steel welding wires (filler metals) to provide weldability and corrosion resistance to the welding zone. Llewellyn [5], considering the most common damages in automotive exhaust systems, observed that 80% are linked to corrosion and 20% to fatigue issues.
One of the major problems commonly found in FSS applications is related to their weldability. According to Reddy and Mohandas [6], compared to austenitic stainless steels (ASS), the ferritic class presents low ductility and toughness, is prone to intergranular corrosion (IGC) and exhibits a coarse-grained microstructure. A reduction in grain size is usually achieved with the addition of titanium, copper and aluminum. Balmforth and Lippold [7] point out that weld quality is normally dependent on the microstructure formed and that the presence of martensite can be especially deleterious to weld bead ductility. Adequate additions of niobium and/or titanium, in the so-called stabilized steels, reduce the formation of martensite, preserving a ferritic microstructure at any temperature, which improves the resistance to intergranular corrosion. The current literature presents equations able to indicate whether a FSS has been adequately stabilized or not. Sato and Tanoue [8] proposed equations for Ti-stabilized or Nb-stabilized FSS, and Fujimura and Tsuge [9] proposed equations for Ti–Nb-stabilized FSS. These equations depend on the number of interstitial elements (weight, %), and the FSS are considered adequately stabilized if the ΔTi (Ti equivalent) and/or the ΔNb (Nb equivalent) have positive values.
Stenbacka and Persson [9] state that in GMA welding of stainless steels it is common to use argon-based shielding gases with 2% of an oxidizing element (O2 or CO2). Strassburg [10] mentions that an increment in the fraction of oxidizing elements in the shielding gas increases the loss of Mn, Cr and Nb in the weld bead. According to Lundvist [11], additions of CO2 in the shielding gas result in the inclusion of C into the weld bead as well as deposited metal oxidation. A drawback of C inclusion is the possibility of decrease in the amount of ferrite present in the deposited metal, inasmuch as C strongly promotes the formation of austenite, which lowers the weld bead toughness. Ferreira Filho et al. [12] observed that CO2 additions in the shielding gas of GMA welding of FSS increase the content of C into to the weld pool, while O2 additions have only a small tendency for reducing C. Both gases tend to reduce the presence of Mn, Si, Nb and Ti.
Madeira and Modenesi [13] compared the metallurgical characteristics of fusion zones (FZ) obtained with 430Ti and 430LNb welding wires and observed that these ferritic wires with Ar + 2%O2 shielding gas form a large number of precipitates, while segregation in the grain boundaries was also seen. The authors associated this fact with the incomplete stabilization of the 430Ti wire. According to Davis [14], IGC is explained by the precipitation of Cr-carbides along the grain boundaries, forming a region with shortage in Cr content, which is prone to corrosion in aggressive environments. Kim et al. [15] observed that the increase in Cr content of Ti-stabilized FSS improved the temperature and time for the sensitization, but it did not prevent IGC, observed due to Cr segregation around fine intergranular TiC developed in all FSS regardless of Cr content. Kim et al. [16] proposed that IGC in stabilized FSS does not occur due to the formation of Cr-carbides. Instead, it would be induced by Cr-depletion due to segregation of unreacted Cr atoms around carbides of stabilizer elements (Ti or Nb) along the grain boundary.
Kim et al. [17] investigated IGC of 409L FSS used for automotive exhaust systems and observed that it occurred from above 0.03 Ra (degree of sensitization) and it was induced by Cr-depletion zone formation due to Cr segregation around intergranular TiC. The authors also noted that IGC can occur in this kind of FSS when it is used in the temperature range of 400–600 °C for sufficiently long time after exposed to high temperatures, such as occurred in arc welding. Kim and Lee [18] studied the effects of Ti and Nb on IGC resistance in a FSS weld metal of a automobile exhaust system (AISI 409 M). It was found that as the contents of Ti and Nb increased, Ir (reversal polarization current) decreased and so did the degree of sensitization. Huang et al. [19] compared the influence of precipitation on IGC of a Nb–Ti-stabilized 430 FSS (NTS430 FSS) and of a SUS 430 FSS (SUS430 FSS). The critical degree of sensitization Ra (Ir/Ia) reached 0.305 in the SUS430 FSS, which was higher than that of the NTS430 FSS. This was explained due to the dual stabilization provided by Nb and Ti that restrains precipitation of Cr23C6 and so avoids Cr-depletion, which improves the resistance to the IGC. Scalise et al. [20] investigated the susceptibility of the AISI 409 ferritic stainless steel to IGC using DL-EPR test and practice W of ASTM A763 and observed when the ratio Ir/Ia > 0.36 ditched grains, whereas for lower values of this ratio, the microstructure was classified as step structure.
Although a significant amount of work is found in the literature dealing with the IGC of FSS, the effect of shielding gas composition on IGC of stabilized FSS GMA welds is not taken into account and should to be addressed due to practical–industrial interest. FSS commonly employed for the production of automotive exhaust systems are used as base (AISI 441) and filler materials (ER430Ti and ER430LNb) in short-circuiting GMA welding under different shielding gas compositions (Ar + CO2 and Ar + O2). Therefore, this work aims to provide new information on the use of low-cost shielding gases (high CO2 content) for application on FSS.
2 Experimental procedures
2.1 Materials and welding conditions
The base metal (BM) chosen was the AISI 441 FSS of 2.0 mm in thickness (100 mm long and 50 mm wide), which has mean Cr content and is bi-stabilized by Nb and Ti and is applied in the hot and in the “cold” parts of automotive exhaust systems. Two FSS filler metals of 1.0 mm in diameter were utilized: one stabilized by Ti (ER430Ti) and one by Nb and with low carbon content (ER430LNb). The base metal and filler wires chemical compositions were determined with a Solaris CCD optical emission spectrometry and are, respectively, shown in Tables 1 and 2. As seen, the AISI 441 steel has a low stabilization level by Ti and a considerable stabilization level by Nb. By making the calculations based on the current literature [8], it is possible to note that the ER430Ti wire has a negative Ti equivalent (ΔTi = − 0.130), that is, it does not have sufficient amount of Ti to be combined with all its C and N contents. This is mainly a consequence of the high C content in this wire, not considering the dilution within the base metal. On the other hand, the ER430LNb wire, also based on the current literature [8], has a positive Nb equivalent (ΔNb = + 0123), that is, it does have an amount of stabilizing elements superior to that needed to prevent the formation of Cr-carbides and Cr-nitrides and/or the presence of interstitial elements in solid solution capable of promoting the formation of austenite at high temperatures. Thus, it is possible to consider that the ER430LNb wire has superior stabilization in comparison with the ER430Ti one.
Each filler metal was combined with three commercial shielding gas blends: Ar + 2%O2, Ar + 8%CO2 and Ar + 25%CO2. The Ar + 2%O2 gas was chosen for being the most utilized in the industry, including for automotive exhaust systems. The other two gases were evaluated due to their low cost and lack of significant information about their influence on ferritic stainless steel welded components. However, the Ar + 25%CO2 gas is used in the Asian automotive plants, an almost punctual exception of industrial application of such shielding gases in automotive exhaust systems.
Preliminary tests were carried out in order to specify the same welding current level and so the same heat input for all combinations of base and filler materials, which allowed a fair comparison to be made. The short-circuiting GMA welding makes it possible to obtain similar weld bead profiles as well as dilutions. Eventually, the welding conditions specified were: welding current = 90 A; arc voltage = 16 V; welding travel speed = 20 cm/min; and wire feed rate = 4.2 m/min. The welded parts were then produced using 2-mm gap butt joint preparation and metallic backing (same as the BM). After being welded, the test plates were conveniently cut in samples (cross sections) containing the FZ center region that were then prepared for metallographic, microhardness and IGC testing.
2.2 Corrosion tests
Oxalic acid etching, as per ASTM A262-PRACTICE A, was conducted in the FZ to verify the filler metal stabilization when it is in dilution within the bi-stabilized base metal and the influence of high levels of CO2 in the shielding gas on the formation of Cr-carbides in the weld bead. A CG Son Dual Traking DC power supply was used for the IGC tests of polished samples using a 10% oxalic acid electrochemical etching solution and an electrical current density of 1 A/cm2 for 1.5 min. Then, microscopic examination by means of an OLYMPUS PM C35DX equipment was conducted for IGC identification.
Following surface preparation of small tests specimens similar to those used by Lakshminarayanan and Balasubramanian [21] (as shown in Fig. 1) with silicon carbide papers for removing coarse scratches and with 6- and 1-µm diamond grits for polishing, as per ASTM G108-07, double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) tests were executed, three times for each case to assure repeatability. A conventional electrochemical cell with three electrodes (one made of the material under investigation, called work electrode, one of saturated calomel (SCE) as reference electrode and one of platinum as auxiliary electrode) was used. The electrodes were placed in a 0.05 M H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) and 0.01 M KSCN (potassium thiocyanate) electrolytic solution at 30 ± 1 °C. In DL-EPR tests, each sample is potentiokinetically polarized from the corrosion potential with a 1.67 mV/s scan rate until it becomes passivated, when the scanning direction is thus inverted. A PAR 263A potentiostat/galvanostat connected to a PC with the PowerSuite Electrochemistry® software was used for controlling and monitoring of these tests. Figure 2 shows the anodic polarization current (Ia) and reversal polarization current (Ir) curves along with the Ra (Ia/Ir) ratio taken from the DL-EPR test for the AISI 441 base metal welded with the ER430Ti wire and with Ar + 25%CO2 as shielding gas.
2.3 Microstructural analysis
All specimens were polished up to 1 µm surface finish and then subjected to Vilella’s etchant. Subsequently, they were examined using optical microscopy (OM) by means of a CARLL ZEISS AXIO Imager M2 m, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by means of a Jeol JSM-6610 and analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) by means of a Thermo scientific NSS Spectral Imaging. A Mitutoyo HM-200 hardness tester was used to perform microhardness measurements in the ferritic matrix as a way to qualitatively analyze the precipitate formation variation versus the shielding gas and filler metal combination used. Each microhardness measurement was replicated to assure repeatability. The fraction of area corresponding to precipitates in the ferritic matrix was determined with the Multiphase module of the Carl Zeiss AxioVision software, using the objective EC Epiplan-Neofluar 100×/0.9 DIC through all examinations. Again, each measurement was conducted twice to assure repeatability.
3 Results and discussion
3.1 Corrosion tests
Figures 3 and 4 present FZ micrographs of samples produced, respectively, with the ER430Ti and ER430LNb wires after oxalic acid etching. In both cases, the ferritic matrix appears with a large number of precipitates and accentuated evidence of segregation in the grain boundaries, as previously observed by Madeira and Modenesi [13].
For the ER430Ti wire, as shown in Fig. 3a–c, the increase in the CO2 content in the shielding gas increases the accentuated evidence of precipitation and segregation in the grain boundaries. ER430Ti wire has insufficient Ti to combine with all C available, and, as observed by Madeira and Modenesi [13], the precipitates may be associated with the formation of Cr-carbonates, as long as the incomplete stabilization of the 430Ti wire is considered. The gas may act as a source of C, increasing its levels in the fusion area, so contributing to increase the number of Ti-based precipitates.
With the Ar + 25%CO2 gas, there was also formation of martensite along the grain boundaries. The effect of the shielding gas verified on the microstructure is compatible with the incomplete stabilization of the ER430Ti wire and the variation in C content in the weld, as observed before by Ferreira Filho et al. [12].
Carrying out the classification of the etched structures according to ASTM A262 standards for the ER430Ti wire case, the use of Ar + 2%O2 as shielding gas, as shown in Fig. 3a, promotes a few incomplete “ditch” type structures combined with a “step” type, which results in a “dual structure.” As shown in Fig. 3b, c, the other weld microstructures produced with the ER430Ti wire present a “ditch structure” regardless of the CO2 content used in the shielding gas.
For the ER430LNb wire, as presented in Fig. 4a–c, the increase in the CO2 content in the shielding gas also increases the accentuated evidence of precipitation and segregation in the grain boundaries. The effect of the shielding gas composition in the microstructure is compatible with the increase in C content in the weld. With the Ar + 2%O2 and Ar + 8%CO2 gases, a few incomplete “ditch” type combined with a “step” type microstructure is observed, that is, a “dual structure” is again formed. With Ar + 25%CO2 as shielding gas, a “ditch structure” is produced. Thus, by comparing Fig. 4c with Fig. 3a it is possible to notice that de IGC (quantity of “ditch” type grains) is significantly less present in the ER430LNb weld with Ar + 25%CO2 than in the ER430Ti weld with Ar + 2%O2. This fact is probably related to the proper stabilization of the ER430LNb wire.
3.2 DL-EPR tests
Table 3 and Fig. 5 present the levels of Ia, Ir and Ra ratios taken from the DL-EPR tests conducted in samples of all welding combinations. The Ia results obtained using the ER430Ti and ER430LNb wires were quite similar, in contrast to Ir results, which exhibit significant differences. In addition, the results are comparable to those found by Kim and Lee [18] and Huang et al. [19], the latter obtained for the same type of FSS used in this work. It is also observed that the ER430Ti wire led to values of Ir much higher than those found with the use of the ER430LNb one, fact probably related to the better stabilization provided by the latter. Kim and Lee [18] and Huang et al. [19], in investigations on the IGC of FSS, observed the same behavior with the increase of Ti and Nb into the weld. Regarding the Ia values, there was a tendency of increasing with the rise of CO2 content in the shielding gas. This is probably related to the increase in C content in the weld bead, as observed before by Ferreira et al. [12], and to the intensification of precipitate development caused by more active elements in the shielding gas, as previously observed by Madeira and Modenesi [13].
Figure 6 presents the influence of the shielding gas composition and filler metal (stabilization degree) combinations on the Ra ratios for the weld samples. An increase in the Ra ratio is noticed as the CO2 content in the shielding gas is raised, which indicates that more IGC takes place in the weld bead the higher the CO2 fraction. Moreover, the results point out that IGC is significantly more intense for weld beads produced with the ER430Ti wire, in which the Ra ratios with Ar + 25%CO2 were similar to that found by Huang et al. [19] and Tavares et al. [22] during analyzes of a non-stabilized 4SS FSS. It is worth mentioning that the Ra ratios verified for the ER430LNb wire and Ar + 25%CO2 shielding gas combination are below the level found for the ER430Ti and Ar + 2%O2 one. All these results confirm the indications made from the microstructures after oxalic acid etching (Figs. 3, 4), and the results are similar to those found by Scalise et al. [20].
3.3 Microstructural analysis
SEM and EDS analysis of precipitates was carried out to investigate the reason for IGC development. Figures 7, 8 and 9 indicate precipitates in the weld samples produced with ER430Ti wire.
The precipitates inside the matrix and along the grain boundaries were identified as TiC developed during the welding process. According to the results, the ER430Ti wire showed C, Fe and Cr always in the matrix and C, Ti and Cr always in precipitates side by side inside the matrix. The development of these precipitates was reported in previous studies on stabilized FSS, which suggest IGC mechanism by Cr segregation around fine intergranular TiC [16,17,18,19]. According to Suzuki et al. [23], Cr has a tendency to segregate at the TiC–matrix interface to relieve supersaturation in the matrix. Kuzucu et al. [24] cited Cr segregation around fine NbC. Kim et al. [17] conclude that IGC can occur in FSS when it is subjected to a temperature range of 400–600 °C for sufficient long time after exposed to high temperatures, such as found in welding operations. As observed in Fig. 9, with the ER430Ti wire and Ar + 25%CO2 shielding gas combination there was formation of martensite along the grain boundaries. Tavares et al. [22] also observed such occurrence in a non-stabilized AISI 430 weld, being the intergranular martensite formation and intergranular precipitation associated with M23C6 carbides and M23(C,N) carbonitrides.
Concerning the effects of the shielding gas composition with the ER430LNb wire, Figs. 10, 11 and 12 indicate precipitates also found in the welds produced. Precipitates inside the matrix and along the grain boundaries were identified as NbC developed during the welding processes. According to the results, the ER430LNb wire showed C, Fe, and Cr always in the matrix and C, Nb and Cr always in precipitates side by side inside the matrix. These facts might be explained the same way as made for the ER430Ti.
Based on the examination of results found in the current literature, it is assumed that Cr could segregate around the precipitates. Therefore, it is important to consider the influence of the shielding gas composition on the formation of precipitates inside the weld matrix. For this purpose, the average values of microhardness typically measured in the samples produced with the ER430Ti and ER430 LNb were taken into account. As shown in Fig. 13, the microhardness levels increased with the rise in CO2 content in the shielding gas. This behavior might be related to the increase in the presence of C inside the welds, as described by Ferreira et al. [12], which favors development of precipitates. It is important to emphasize that the increase in C fraction in the welds produced with the ER430Ti wire Ar + 25%CO2 shielding gas combination was so significant that martensite was clearly identified next to grain boundaries, which explains the highest microhardness verified in this case.
Finally, the numbers of fraction of area corresponding to precipitates inside the ferritic matrix are presented in Fig. 14. According to the shielding gas composition, an evolution similar to that verified for the microhardness levels is observed, that is, the rise in CO2 content in the gas tends to increase the development of precipitates. As verified by Madeira and Modenesi [13], the use of the ER430LNb wire results in a reduced fraction of precipitates.
Based on the results and analysis conducted for examining the effect of shielding gas composition on IGC of stabilized FSS welded by GMAW, the rise of CO2 content in the shielding gas generates an increase in the amount of precipitates inside the grains. This increase is probably also to occur in the grain boundaries, which explains the change in IGC occurrence as the shielding gas composition was varied.
4 Conclusions
Based on the conditions and results presented above, the conclusions can be summarized as:
-
The addition of CO2 in the shielding gas generated an increase in development of precipitates inside the grains and along their boundaries and thus Cr segregation around these precipitates;
-
Cr had a tendency to segregate at the TiC and NbC/matrix interface to relieve supersaturation in the matrix providing significant information about the IGC;
-
With Ar + 25%CO2 as shielding gas, the stabilization of the ER430Ti wire proved to be inefficient as martensite was formed;
-
The higher the CO2 content in the shielding gas, the larger the occurrence of IGC in the welds;
-
IGC was significantly less present in the welds produced with the ER430LNb filler metal than in those with the ER430Ti one;
-
High levels of CO2 in the shielding gas led to considerable IGC in the welds produced with the ER430Ti wire, suggesting that this filler metal is not suitable for GMA welding of automotive exhaust systems;
-
Overall, the Ar + 25%CO2 shielding gas composition demonstrates to be more suitable for the base and filler metals evaluated.
