Abstract In this research, the microstructure and properties of the stainless steel joint were accurately controlled by adding certain amount of N2 to the shielding gas of the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. The increase of the N2 addition, the decrease of the wire feeding speed and the raise of the welding voltage promoted the transition of elemental N from the arc to the deposition metal and resulted in the decrease of the ferrite number (FN) of the joint. It was also proved that the WRC-1992 diagram could not give an accurate prediction of the FN of the multi-pass stainless steel joint that the predicted FN of the deposition metal solidifying as type FA was about 2.7 lower than the measured FN. By adding 10%N2 to the shielding gas, the multi-pass stainless steel joint remained solidifying as type FA and its FN was successfully controlled to about 3.0, which significantly improved its pitting corrosion resistance. The transition of element N was significantly harder in GMAW process than in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, thus about 10 times of N2 should be added to the shielding gas of GMAW process to promote the N transition.
