Recycling of Deformed Powder from Submerge Arc Welding (SAW)

Besides possessing proper technical properties, the materials used by modern technology should be economical and environment friendly. Human of the modern age is trying to find proper solutions to recycle a major part of he industrial wastes Instead of disposing them into rivers, seas and oceans or accumulating them on the uninhabited deserts of the third World countries. SAW wastes are also considered as a class of environmental pollutants. The present research aims at finding a method for recycling such wastes by making use of Phases assessment systems, such as XRD, XRF, SEM, and carbon-sulfur assessment system (Strolein system) and by using separation, formulation, and ceramic sintering. The results of the study show that the deformed powder from SAW process might be recycled and used as powder of SAW for welding of low-carbon steel (st37) by separating the iron particles and adding some additives to deformed waste powder.
