As soldas deste estudo foram produzidas a partir de eletrodos com revestimento b?sico (higrosc?picos) - processo manual - pintados com tinta spray de alum?nio para altas temperaturas ou revestidos com filmes finos de PVC e de papel alum?nio (99,9%), comumente utilizados para prote??o de alimentos. A premissa b?sica ?, que estabelecendo uma barreira entre a atmosfera e o revestimento do eletrodo, poder-se-? diminuir os efeitos da alta higroscopicidade apresentada pelo revestimento, minimizando assim, a principal fonte de fornecimento de hidrog?nio ? po?a de fus?o durante a soldagem, tamb?m ? esperado, que a adi??o de novos materiais no revestimento ? po?a de fus?o, provoque altera??es metal?rgicas no metal depositado e consequentemente altera??es nas propriedades mec?nicas. Mensurar o hidrog?nio dissolvido no metal depositado ap?s soldado com os eletrodos modificados, avaliar a influencia dessas modifica??es nas microestruturas produzidas, nas propriedades mec?nicas da solda resultante e comparar esses resultados obtidos com procedimentos de soldagem padr?o normatizados e com os novos eletrodos imperme?veis recentemente desenvolvidos, balizou o estudo. Os resultados obtidos, na maioria das amostras soldadas com eletrodos modificados, apresentaram aumento significativo da resist?ncia mec?nica e de tenacidade, justificados pelo aumento percentual de ferrita acicular no metal depositado, sem, contudo, eleva??o significativa da dureza, quando comparados com a soldagem com eletrodo AWS E-7018 da forma tradicional. O hidrog?nio difus?vel nos eletrodos modificados manteve-se dentro do estabelecido pelos c?digos internacionais. / This paper suggests modifications in coating of electrodes providing an alternative for execution of welding with low hydrogen electrode AWS E7018 without having to dry it, reducing thus the cost and time of manufacturing of high resistance welds. The welds in this research were developed with basic coated electrodes (hygroscopic) ? SMAW process ? externally painted with aluminum spray paint for high temperatures or wrapped with thin plastic films (PVC) and aluminum foil films used commonly for food protection. The basic premise is that establishing a barrier between the atmosphere and the electrode coating could reduce the effects of high hygroscopicity presented by coatings of low hydrogen, minimizing this way the main source of supply of hydrogen to the fusion pool during welding. It is also expected that the addition of new materials from the electrode coating to the fusion pool would induce metallurgical changes in the deposited metal and, as a consequence, modifications in its mechanical properties. This research dealt with measuring the dissolved hydrogen in the deposited metal after welding with modified electrodes, evaluating the influence of these changes in the produced microstructures and in the mechanical properties of the resulting weld, and comparing the obtained results with the standard welding procedures and with the recently developed waterproof electrodes. The results obtained in most samples welded with modified electrodes showed increased mechanical resistance and increased tenacity due to the increased percentage of acicular ferrite in metal deposited without significant elevation of hardness, when compared with the traditional welding with AWS E7018 electrode and with ELBR?S BRH4R waterproof electrode. The diffusing hydrogen measured in the modified electrodes was kept inside the parameters defined by international codes.
