标题：Welding Cylinder Head: The Effect of Filler Variations and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties on TIG Welded Cast Iron FC 250
摘要：Cylinder head made from grey cast iron, is one of critical engine part which work on high temperature and pressure. The condition which occurs continuously during engine operation causes wear which identified as a fretting failure. Therefore repairing process is needed by using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. By considering the working condition and the materials, welding parameters are used 140A current, 100% Argon, DCEP and preheat at 250°C. The welding process is done on specimen sample of cylinder head which fretting failure by using Ni-CI, NiFe, NiFe-1 dan 308L filler variation for each specimen and done by PWHT at temperature 650°C which holding time 90 minutes. Visual test, macroscopic test, microscopic test and hardness test already done in this research. The results are there is no defect such as crack, porosity, undercut, and lack of fusion on the visual and macroscopic test. On microscopic test, there is the brittle phase (martensite) in HAZ at Non-PWHT specimen, but after PWHT the martensite transform became martempered phase. FC250 standard hardness value is about 170-235HB, and the result is the hardness value of non-PWHT specimen higher than the standard in HAZ, and the high hardness value of PWHT specimen on weld metal by using NiFe, NiFe-1 and 308L. So from the filler variation, Ni-CI filler with PWHT is on standard either on phase or on hardness value
