Mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of rotating arc-gas metal arc welded carbon steel joints

The main problem associated with high thickness carbon steel plate's narrow range or “V” groove welding in conventional welding processes is the sagging of the molten pool due to gravity, which in turn leads to defects formation and deteriorates mechanical properties. This problem could be over...
