Description
Summary:Mild steels can be found in a multitude of applications that derive from their versatility and low production cost compared to higher content carbon steels. Its applications range from machinery manufacturing to the production of structures for various industries. Its carbon content does not exceed 0.25% wt.%, as is the case of 1011 steel, whose carbon content is equivalent to 0.11% wt.%, which allows its excellent weldabillity for the manufacture of structures with clean and smooth surfaces, where different joining technologies such as MIG welding are considered.In this work, sections of 1011 low-carbon steel alloy MIG welded (ER70S-6) in a transverse array and subsequently prepared by conventional metallographic techniques, which involve grinding with SiC abrasive papers followed by polishing to a mirror-like finish.
