局部硬化区周围的应力应变特性对HAZ断裂行为的影响

从力学的观点出发,将高强钢焊接热影响区粗晶区中硬化组织ＭＡ组元视作局部硬化区（ＬＨＺ）。采用二维有限元数值方法分析了ＬＨＺ周围的应力应变分布。结果表明：ＬＨＺ存在时,ＬＨＺ内部应力升高,ＬＨＺ与基体产生变形差。这意味着ＬＨＺ内部或ＬＨＺ与基体界面容易引发裂纹。最后通过对ＴＭＣＰ钢焊接热影响区微观裂纹的实验观察,验证了本文提出的断裂模型。

Fine structure in the inter-critical heat-affected zone of HQ130 super-high strength steel

The microstructure in the intercritical heat-affected zone (ICHAZ) of HQ130 steel, has been investigated by thermo-simulation test, SEM and TEM. The problem of toughness decrease in the ICHAZ (T _p = 800°C) as well as the effect of M-A constituent and carbide precipitation on brittleness was analysed. The test results indicated that the microstructure in the ICHAZ of HQ130 steel was mostly a mixture of lath martensite (ML) and granular bainite (Bg) with a fine but nonuniform grain structure. The cause of brittleness in the ICHAZ was related to production of the M-A constituent in the local region and carbide precipitation. By controlling the welding heat input carbide precipitation and the formation of the M-A constituent can be avoided or decreased.     

Microstructure characterization in the weld metals of HQ130 + QJ63 high strength steels

Microstructural characterization of the weld metals of HQ130 + QJ63 high strength steels, welded under 80% Ar + 20% CO₂ gas shielded metal arc welding and different weld heat inputs, was carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The relative contents of acicular ferrite (AF) and pro-eutectic ferrites (PF) in the weld metals were evaluated by means of XQF-2000 micro-image analyser. The experimental results indicate that there is acicular ferrite in the grain and some pro-eutectic ferrite on the boundary of original austenite grains when the weld heat input is small (E = 9.6 kJ/cm), but the main microstructure is ferrite side plate (FSP) when the heat input is larger (E = 22.3 kJ/cm). So the weld heat input should be strictly controlled in the range 10 ∼ 20 kJ/cm and then the content of pro-eutectic ferrite is limited to < 25%. Thus weld metals of HQ130 + QJ63 high strength steels with high toughness and excellent resistance to cracking can be ensured.     

Hybrid laser/arc welding of advanced high strength steel in different butt joint configurations

An experimental procedure was developed to join thick advanced high strength steel plates by using the hybrid laser/arc welding (HLAW) process, for different butt joint configurations. The geometry of the weld groove was optimized according to the requirements of ballistic test, where the length of the softened heat affected zone should be less than 15.9 mm from the weld centerline. The cross-section of the welds was examined by microhardness test. The microstructure of welds was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and an optical microscope for further analysis of the microstructure of fusion zone and heat affected zone. It was demonstrated that by changing the geometry of groove, and increasing the stand-off distance between the laser beam and the tip of wire in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) it is possible to reduce the width of the heat affected zone and softened area while the microhardness stays within the acceptable range. It was shown that double Y-groove shape can provide the optimum condition for the stability of arc and laser. The dimensional changes of the groove geometry provided substantial impact on the amount of heat input, causing the fluctuations in the hardness of the weld as a result of phase transformation and grain size. The on-line monitoring of HLAW of the advanced high strength steel indicated the arc and laser were stable during the welding process. It was shown that less plasma plume was formed in the case where the laser was leading the arc in the HLAW, causing higher stability of the molten pool in comparison to the case where the arc was leading.     

Ageing and cracking of simulated heat affected zones in 321 stainless steel

The heat affected zone (HAZ) of stabilised austenitic stainless steel welds may exhibit a serious form of intercrystalline cracking during service at high temperature. This type of embrittlement, well known as stress relief cracking, is related to thermal ageing: a fine and abundant intragranular Ti(C,N) precipitation appears near the fusion line during service at high temperature and modifies the mechanical behaviour of the HAZ. To analyse this embrittlement micro mechanism and to assess the lifetime of real components, different HAZ were simulated by various solution heat treatments, cold rolling and ageing conditions. The mechanical behaviour of these resulting materials was investigated using creep and tensile tests on smooth bars. Then, creep tests were carried out and simulated on notched bars by finite element calculations. A damage model was identified from intergranular damage measurements made on notched specimens and compared with calculated mechanical fields. Further tests on fatigue precracked specimens showed that crack propagation occurred under stress relaxation conditions in simulated HAZ material.     

Fatigue crack growth behavior of the simulated HAZ of 800 MPa grade high-performance steel

The present study focuses on the fatigue properties in the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) of 800 MPa grade high-performance steel, which is commonly used in bridges and buildings. Single- and multi-pass HAZs were simulated by the Gleeble system. Fatigue properties were estimated using a crack propagation test under a 0.3 stress ratio and 0.1 load frequencies. The microstructures and fracture surfaces were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results of the crack propagation test showed that the fatigue crack growth rate of coarse-grained HAZ (CGHAZ) was faster than fine-grained HAZ (FGHAZ), although both regions have identical fully martensite microstructures, because FGHAZ has smaller prior austenite grain and martensite packet sizes, which can act as effective barriers to crack propagation. The fatigue crack growth rate of intercritically reheated CGHAZ (ICCGHAZ) was the fastest among local zones in the HAZ, due to rapid crack initiation and propagation via the massive martensite-austenite (M-A) constituent.     

Microstructural transformations of heat affected zones in duplex steel welded joints

The influence of the welding thermal conditions exemplified by heat input and heat treatment after welding on the structure of the heat affected zone (HAZ) UNS S31803 has been analysed. The post weld treatment was used to create the precisely defined thermal conditions for the decomposition of primary phases in the HAZ, by a multi-layer welding thermal cycle stimulation. Detailed analyses of the microstructure and chemical composition of the phases in the different post welded conditions were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Three types of secondary precipitates have been observed: secondary austenite (γ₂), carbides: M₂₃C₆ and M₇C₃. The dependence of the secondary austenite volume fraction and morphology in the HAZ on thermal cycle have been interpreted. The eutectoid decomposition of the primary phases in the analysed thermal conditions was confirmed.     

Simulated heat affected zone in ASTM A533-B steel plates under low heat inputs

To investigate the weldability of A533-B steel plates, simulations of the coarse grained region of heat affected zone (with heat inputs of 10, 20 and 30 kJ cm⁻¹) followed by inter-pass heating at 300 °C and post-weld heat treatments at 590 °C were carried out. The microstructural evolution, the hardness and the toughness of the simulated heat-affected zone were studied. With heat inputs of 10 and 20 kJ cm⁻¹, both of the simulated microstructures contain mixtures of lower bainite and auto-tempered martensite. With heat input of 30 kJ cm⁻¹, the simulated microstructure is composed mainly of lower bainite. The Charpy impact toughness has also been measured for the simulated heat input specimens, which were treated by inter-pass heating at 300 °C and post-weld treatment at 590 °C.
