Studying on the Welding procedure of Heavy Casting Gr420Eand Low Temperature Carbon ManganeseSteel Heavy Plate F36

Based on the welding fabrication of heavy cast steel components for offshore equipment, welding procedure qualification test is conducted on dissimilar weld joint between casting NORSOK M-122 Gr420E with thickness 150mm and low temperature carbon manganese steel F36 with thickness 75mm. This study details the welding process, welding consumable selection, groove design, optimization of welding parameters, mechanical property test, and critical point of welding quality control. The welding procedure has been successfully applied to fabrication of offshore equipment.
