The research performed and presented in this paper, aims to verify the welding behavior of electrodes developed experimentally, as well as the possibility of their use in production. A group of two electrodes produced by Bohler Company, Gridur 24 and B.M.N were taken as reference, in order to compare them in terms of the mechanical properties of the deposited metal, with the experimentally developed electrodes EICr12Fe and EIMn13SiFe. They were made determinations of the chemical composition of the deposited metal with the two types of electrodes, measurements regarding the hardness of the metal deposited, comparative determinations of the structure of the weld deposit, and of the welding penetration, determinations of the deposition yield and verification of the welding behavior.

This paper presents a research that has been done on two types of stainless steels, one of Spanish origin and the other of Romanian origin. Both Spanish and Romanian stainless steels have been subjected to several tests, regarding the influence of vibrations on their mechanical properties and their welding behavior. The samples were made of welded stainless steels. They were subjected to a thermal hardening treatment at a temperature of 950 degrees, with a holding time of 4 hours in the presence of mechanical vibrations. Then comparative tests were performed on both stainless steels at: hardness, tensile test, resilience, microstructural analysis and determination of the longitudinal modulus of elasticity. The research has shown a reduction of the thermo-mechanically influenced area, which contributes to the achievement of a high quality welded joints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
