690 MPa级ULCB熔敷金属组织与强韧化规律

 采用传统的高强钢焊接材料焊接690 MPa级低碳铜沉淀强化钢时,仍需严格控制热输入、预热温度、层间温度,这使得低碳铜沉淀强化钢的优良性能和可节约生产成本的优势得不到很好地发挥。通过采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)等表征方法,研究了不同质量分数的Si/Mn/Ni配比对690 MPa级超低碳贝氏体(ULCB)熔敷金属的组织及强韧性能的影响,为690 MPa级低碳铜沉淀强化钢配套的焊接材料的工程化应用提供一定的技术支持和积累。结果表明,690 MPa级超低碳贝氏体(ULCB)熔敷金属组织主要由板条贝氏体、粒状贝氏体和针状铁素体组成。当Si质量分数为0.16%、Mn质量分数为1.46%时,熔敷金属组织细化,冲击韧性得以提升,但Si含量过低易使贝氏体铁素体呈块状,导致韧性提升有限。而当Si质量分数为0.29%、Mn质量分数为1.02%时,Ni含量增加,贝氏体铁素体板条呈细长条状,显微组织相互交错分布,使熔敷金属冲击韧性显著改善。相变位错强化受贝氏体开始转变温度(B_s)影响,这是影响ULCB熔敷金属强度的主要原因。ULCB熔敷金属中夹杂物主要分布在贝氏体铁素体的板条亚结构间,少量成为针状铁素体的形核质点,促进针状铁素体形核,因此,对熔敷金属中的夹杂物进行控制,可进一步发挥超低碳贝氏体熔敷金属的潜力,提高其韧性。

Weldability of Low Carbon Transformation Induced Plasticity Steel

Transformation induced plasticity （TRIP） steel exhibited high or rather high carbon equivalent （CE） because of its chemical composition, which was a particularly detrimental factor affecting weldability of steels. Thus the weldability of a TRIP steel （grade 600） containing （in mass percent, %） 0.11C-1. 19Si-1.67Mn was extensively studied. The mechanical properties and impact toughness of butt joint, the welding crack susceptibility of weld and heat affected zone （HAZ） for tee joint, control thermal severity （CTS） of the welded joint, and Y shape 60° butt joint were measured after the gas metal arc welding （GMAW） test. The tensile strength of the weld was higher than 700 MPa. Both in the fusion zone （FZ） and HAZ for butt joint, the impact toughness was much higher than 27 J, either at room temperature or at -20 ℃, indicating good low temperature impact ductility of the weld of TRIP 600 steel. In addition, welding crack susceptibility tests revealed that weldments were free of surface crack and other imperfection. All experimental results of this steel showed fairly good weldability. For application, the crossmember in automobile made of this steel exhibited excellent weldability, and fatigue and durability tests were also accomplished for crossmember assembly.

Effects of Zr on acicular ferrite formation in HAZ of Ti-bearing low carbon steels with high heat input of weld thermal simulations

To research the effect of Zr addition on inhibiting austenite grain growth of Ti-bearing low carbon steels,two steels with different Zr contents were prepared using a laboratory vacuum induction furnace. The performance of HAZ under weld thermal simulations was investigated. The impact toughness,microstructure and the second-phase particle performance of HAZ under weld thermal simulations were investigated. The HAZ toughness was improved from 13 J to 87 J by addition of 0. 010 % Zr into the steel,with the fracture mechanism changing from cleavage fracture to toughness fracture,which was mainly attributed to the second-phase particles that were potent to nucleate acicular ferrite in HAZ during welding. It was concluded that the second-phase particles TiO x + MnS,ZrO 2 + MnS or TiO x + ZrO 2 + MnS were nucleated on ZrO 2 or TiO x ( x =1. 5,2) . This method can be applied to grain refinement by promoting the acicular ferrite formation and growth during large-scale welding,as in the cases of thick steel plates requiring higher heat inputs during welding.

Investigation of the impact toughness of self-shielded flux-cored wire girth welds for X80 pipelines

Self-shielded flux-cored wire is a convenient and efficient consumable for pipeline field girth welding because of its self-protection characteristic and high deposition rate,especially for remote construction sites in rugged terrain. From the perspective of pipeline safety,the impact toughness of the girth welds is an important factor in pipeline integrity,which determines the crack arrest behavior in the girth welds. Therefore,improving the girth weld impact toughness is of primary importance in the field of pipeline girth welding. Three self-shielded flux-cored wires comprising different chemical composition systems have been applied to large diameter X80 UOE( U-ing-O-ingExpanding) pipeline semi-automatic girth welding,and the impact toughness of the welds has been evaluated by girth weld chemical composition analysis and microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy( SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry( EDS) to investigate pipeline girth weld impact toughness and find ways to improve it.This helps in determining the main factors that influence girth weld impact toughness. Pipeline girth weld impact toughness is mainly determined by the final microstructure produced in the solid-state phase transition. In the as-weld state,acicular ferrite( AF) and fine bainite( FB) are a benefit to the impact toughness. For multilayer semiautomatic self-shielded flux-cored wire welding,the normalizing and tempering function of the latter beads to the initial beads plays an important role in the transition of girth weld microstructure,which affects the impact toughness. The original AF and FB and the corresponding heat treatment microstructure of the fine and uniform block ferrite and pearlite result in very good impact toughness. The following two mechanisms are found to promote the production of AF and FB in the girth weld. First,elements promoting the broadening of the austenitic region,such as Ni,C,Cu,and Mn,induce low temperature phase transitions and restrain the opposing function of Al,which is a benefit to the production of AF and FB. Second,dispersed high-melting-point inclusions,especially Al2O3,induce the nucleated production of AF. The advantageous function of inclusions is determined by their shape,distribution,and dimension. Dispersed spherical inclusions of small dimension are a benefit to the production of AF,and result in good impact toughness.
