The welding process of galvanized steel wire mesh because of low carbon steel carbon content is low, manganese and silicon content is low, will not occur severe hardening or quenching structure due to welding. The low carbon steel joints have excellent plasticity and impact toughness after welding. In the welding process, it is generally not necessary to preheat, interlayer temperature control, post-heating control and heat treatment to improve the welding structure.
The whole welding process of galvanized steel wire mesh does not need special technological methods, good weldability. However, in a few cases, the welding process will present difficulties: the converter steel produced by the old smelting method has high nitrogen content and high impurity content, resulting in high cold brittleness, added aging sensitivity, lower quality of welded joints, and poor weldability.
Deoxygenation of boiling steel is incomplete, oxygen content is high, phosphorus and other impurities distribution is uneven, local overspending, aging sensitivity and cold brittle sensitivity are high, hot cracking tendency is added. If unqualified electrode is used, if the content of carbon and sulfur in the weld metal is too high, cracks will occur. For example, when factories use acidic electrodes to weld Q235-A steel, the high carbon fernoganese in the electrode coating will lead to thermal cracks in the weld.
Some welding methods of galvanized steel mesh will reduce the quality of low carbon steel welded joints, such as electroslag welding. Because the line energy is high, the coarse grains in the heat affected zone of welding will become very coarse, leading to a severe reduction in impact toughness. After welding, it is necessary to normalize with refined grains to improve impact toughness.
