Abstract:

The armor steel is a kind of protective alloy material which is used in a variety of combat equipment. The welding is a main joining method of armor steel structure. On the base of crack category, characteristics and formation causes of armor steel, the welding materials and welding processes of armor steel, and the measures taken to improve the properties of welded joint were introduced. Those include austenite welding electrode, ferrite and austenite/ferrite dual phase welding electrodes, the processes of arc welding, CO2 gas protection welding and thermit welding of armor steel crack repairing, and the measures taken to improve the properties of the welded joint of heat treatment after welding, ultrasonic impact, toe grinding and tungsten arc welding. The improving measures and development direction of armor steel welding were put forward by analyzing the armor steel welding processes.

Key words: ordnance science and technology, armor steel, welding, crack, material, process
