Effects of welding residual stresses on fatigue crack growth behaviour in butt welds of a pipeline steel

In the present test the fatigue crack growth rate in the parent plate, weld and cross-bond regions was measured and the results were correlated with the stress intensity range ΔK and the effective stress intensity range ΔK_eff. It is indicated that the welding residual stresses strongly affect the crack growth rate. For the weld metal and cross-bond compact tension specimens in which crack growth is along the weld line the fatigue crack growth rate increases as the crack grows. However, for the T compact tension specimen in which crack growth is perpendicular to the weld line at a constant value of applied ΔK the crack growth rate initially decreases as the crack grows. Particularly, at a low constant value of applied ΔK the crack growth rate obviously decreases and the crack fails to grow after short crack growth. When the crack grows to intersect the welded zone, the fatigue crack growth rate gradually increases as the crack grows further. It is clear that the effect of welding residual stresses on the crack growth rate is related to the position of the crack and its orientation with respect to the weld line. Finally, the models of welding residual stress redistribution in the compact tension specimens with the growing crack and its influence on the fatigue crack closure are discussed. It appears that for a butt-welded joint one of the crack closure mechanisms may be considered by the bend or rotation deformation of crack faces due to the welding residual stress redistribution as the fatigue crack grows in the welded joint.     

Prediction of welding distortion in butt joint of thin plates

This paper investigates distortions and residual stresses induced in butt joint of thin plates using Metal Inert Gas welding. A moving distributed heat source model based on Goldak’s double-ellipsoid heat flux distribution is implemented in Finite Element (FE) simulation of the welding process. Thermo-elastic–plastic FE methods are applied to modelling thermal and mechanical behaviour of the welded plate during the welding process. Prediction of temperature variations, fusion zone and heat affected zone as well as longitudinal and transverse shrinkage, angular distortion, and residual stress is obtained. FE analysis results of welding distortions are compared with existing experimental and empirical predictions. The welding speed and plate thickness are shown to have considerable effects on welding distortions and residual stresses.     

Surface residual stress evaluation in double-electrode butt welded steel plates

Surface residual stress evaluation for double-electrode welding was studied. The stresses were monitored after each operational step: positioning, implementing of constraints, welding and constraints removal. The measurements were performed at the deposited metal, heat affected zone, base metal close to the weld joint and along the plate using the X-ray diffraction method. It was observed differences in the stress evaluations for double-electrode welding which resulted in lower bending distortions and higher values of surface residual stresses, compared with single-electrode welding. This behavior is associated with the stress distribution just after the welding processes in both heat affected zone and base metal close to the fillet for double-electrode welding. The main results from the laboratorial tests indicated lower values of the bending distortions for double-electrode welding compared with the single-electrode. In relation to the residual stress, the double-electrode welding generated, in general, higher stress values in both longitudinal and transversal directions.     

Characterization of mechanical properties,fatigue-crack propagation,and residual stresses in a microalloyed pipeline-steel friction-stir weld

The influence of the friction-stir welding process on microstructure and mechanical properties of API 5L X80 skelp was investigated. Friction-stir welds were produced using welding parameters optimized to promote weld toughness. The solid-state welding process produced microstructures that significantly varied from those observed in the base metal, namely the redistribution and resizing of Martensite–Austenite constituent in the heat-affected zone and stir zone regions of the welds. Mechanical properties of the welds and base metal were evaluated with uniaxial tension testing and microhardness testing revealing overmatching welds and a hard zone within the weld stir zone. Residual stresses were determined in several directions with respect to the joint revealing that stress in the longitudinal direction is highest, yet well below material yield strength. Fatigue-crack propagation behavior was characterized in the different weld regions and base metal by testing with the compact tension specimen configuration showing that welds have impeded fatigue-crack growth compared to the base metal mostly due to welding-induced residual stress fields interacting with the crack.     

Residual stress in a thick section high strength T-butt weld

Residual stresses in a structure are generated as a result of the various fabrication and welding processes used to make the component. Being able to quantify these residual stresses is a key step in determining the continuing integrity of a structure in service. In this work, the residual stresses around a high strength, quenched and tempered steel T-butt web to curved plate weld have been measured using neutron strain scanning. The results show that the residual stresses near the weld were dominated by the welding residual stresses, while the stresses further from the weld were dominated by the bending residual stresses. The results suggest that the combination of welding-induced residual stress and significant pre-welding residual stress, as in the case of a thick bent section of plate can significantly alter the residual stress profile from that in a flat plate.
