Effect of Cu addition on microstructure and impact toughness in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone of high-strength low-alloy steels

The effects of Cu content on microstructure and impact toughness in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of high-strength low-alloy steels were investigated. It has been observed that the microstructure in the simulated CGHAZ of Cu-free steel is dominated by a small proportion of acicular ferrite and predominantly bainite with martensite–austenite constituent. Whereas, in the 0.45 and 1.01% Cu-containing steels, the acicular ferrite increased significantly due to the effective nucleation on intragranular inclusions with outer layer of MnS and CuS. The formation of acicular ferrite is attributed to superior high heat-affected zone impact toughness in the 0.45% Cu-containing steel. Furthermore, the increasing martensite–austenite constituent and ε-Cu precipitates in the simulated CGHAZ of 1.01% Cu-containing steel caused degradation in impact toughness.     

氮对钒微合金钢粗晶热影响区(CGHAZ)的组织和性能的影响

用热模拟方法研究了氮含量对钒微合金钢粗晶热影响区(CGHAZ)的组织和性能的影响。结果表明,氮含量为0.0031%或0.021%时,CGHAZ的韧性较差。氮含量0.0031%时CGHAZ中有少量的Ti(C,N),晶界铁素体(GBF)较少,晶内有大量尺寸较大的侧板条铁素体(FSP),解理裂纹沿FSP的直线扩展使其韧性较差。氮含量0.021%时在CGHAZ中生成了较为粗大的(Ti, V)(C, N)和GBF,解理裂纹沿GBF扩展使其韧性较差。氮含量为0.012%时低温韧性较好,在CGHAZ中生成了大量细小的(Ti, V)(C, N)粒子,且GBF尺寸相对较小,晶内有大量的针状铁素体(AF)。这些因素都有利于阻止裂纹扩展,使其低温韧性显著提高。     

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.     

Effects of microstructural change on fracture characteristics in coarse-grained heat-affected zones of QLT-processed 9% Ni steel

This study investigates the correlation between the microstructural change and fracture characteristics in the coarse-grained heat-affected zones (CGHAZs) of the newly developed quenching, lamellarizing and tempering (QLT)-processed 9% Ni steel. The microscopic fracture behaviors of the various sub-zones within the HAZs including local brittle zone (LBZ) were estimated using simulated HAZ specimens. Both results of Charpy impact tests and in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations on simulated CGHAZ specimens show that the inter-critically reheated coarse-grained HAZ (IC CGHAZ) is a primary LBZ of this steel at cryogenic temperature, but not at room temperature. Microstructural analysis suggests that, unlike in other studies, the cryogenic LBZ phenomenon of the IC CGHAZs cannot be explained simply by the amount of martensite–austenite (M–A) constituents, but is mainly associated with the carbon contents in them. From all results obtained, a mechanism for microscopic toughness change among the CGHAZs is proposed and discussed.     

Effects of nitrogen content and weld cooling time on the simulated heat-affected zone toughness in a Ti-containing steel

An increase of nitrogen content in a 0.02 wt% Ti-containing carbon-manganese steel resulted in a low coarsening rate of TiN particles in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), which led to an accelerated ferrite transformation instead of ferrite side plates during weld cooling cycle. The mixed microstructure of ferrite side plate, acicular ferrite and grain boundary polygonal ferrite in the simulated HAZ produced higher toughness. However, the increase of nitrogen content gradually increased the free nitrogen content in the HAZ and deteriorated HAZ toughness. Impact energy of the simulated HAZ (with Δt_8/5 ∼60 s) at –20 °C deteriorated by about 97 J per 0.001 wt% free nitrogen, in the free nitrogen range from 0.0009 wt% to 0.0034 wt%, even though the HAZ has the tough mixed microstructure. Cooling time after welding influenced the HAZ microstructure and toughness as well, and maximum toughness was obtained when cooling produced the tough mixed microstructure. Therefore, for a high HAZ toughness, both nitrogen content and cooling time should be controlled to obtain the tough mixed microstructure and to keep the free nitrogen content low. The optimal nitrogen content and cooling time from 800 °C to 500 °C were 0.006 wt% and between 60 s and 100 s, respectively, in this experiment.     

Microstructure Characterization of High-heat-input Welding Joint of HSLA Steel Plate for Oil Storage Construction

The heat-affected zone (HAZ) was comprised of fine-grain zone (FGZ) and coarse-grain zone (CGZ), which characterizes fine granular structure and lathing-bainite substructure. It has found that ...     

Effect of cathodic potential on stress corrosion cracking behavior of different heat-affected zone microstructures of E690 steel in artificial seawater

In this work,the stress corrosion cracking(SCC)behavior of E690 steel base metal(BM)and different heat-affected zone(HAZ)microstructures,i.e.,coarse grain HAZ(CGHAZ),fine grain HAZ(FGHAZ),and intercritical HAZ(ICHAZ),was investigated at different cathodic potentials in artificial seawater by slow strain rate tensile tests,scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction measurements.The results show that the HAZ microstructures and BM exhibit different SCC susceptibilities:FGHAZ相似文献   

Microstructure and toughness of coarse grain heat-affected zone of domestic X70 pipeline steel during in-service welding

The microstructures and mechanical properties of coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of domestic X70 pipeline were investigated. The weld CGHAZ thermal cycles having different cooling time Δt _8/5 were simulated with the Gleeble-1500 thermal/mechanical simulator. The Charpy impact absorbed energy for toughness was measured, and the corresponding fractographs, optical micrographs, and electron micrographs were systematically investigated to study the effect of cooling time on microstructure, impact toughness, and fracture morphology in the CGHAZ of domestic X70 pipeline steel during in-service welding. The results of simulated experiment show that the microstructure of CGHAZ of domestic X70 pipeline steel during in-service welding mainly consists of granular bainite and lath bainite. Martensite–austenite (M–A) constituents are observed at the lath boundaries. With increase in cooling time, the M–A constituents change from elongated shape to massive shape. The reduction of toughness may be affected by not only the M–A constituents but also the coarse bainite sheaves. Accelerating cooling with cooling time Δt _8/5 of 8 s can be chosen in the field in-service welding X70 pipeline to control microstructures and improve toughness.     

The role of Cu and Al addition on the microstructure and fracture characteristics in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone of high-strength low-alloy steels with superior toughness

The effects of Cu and Al addition on the microstructure and fracture in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of high-strength low-alloy steels with superior toughness were studied and compared with the X70 pipeline base steel counterpart. The microstructure in base steel was dominated by a small fraction of acicular ferrite and predominantly bainite. However, acicular ferrite microstructure was obtained in Cu-bearing steel, which nucleated on complex oxide with outer layer of MnS and CuS because of Cu addition. The microstructure in Al-bearing steel consisted of bainite with ultrafine martensite–austenite constituent, which was refined by Al addition. CGHAZ in Cu-bearing and Al-bearing steels had superior impact toughness and ductile fracture, which were attributed to acicular ferrite and ultrafine martensite–austenite constituent, respectively.     

Optimising inclusion and toughening the heat-affected zone of ship plate steel with MgO nanoparticles

The effect of adding MgO nanoparticles to ship plate steel at welding heat-affected zones (HAZs) was experimentally studied. The results showed that the added nanoparticles obviously optimised the inclusions; the average size of the inclusions was significantly reduced, and the distribution was relatively uniform. The toughness of the base metal and HAZ increased by 20–60 J, apart from a slight decrease in the strength of the fine-grained heat-affected zone and a nearly unchanged strength in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone, and approximately ～2?μm (Mg–Al–Ti)O-containing inclusions induced acicular ferrite effectively, thereby simultaneously enhancing the strength and toughness of the inter-critical heat-affected zone. In conclusion, these performance improvements in both the base metal and HAZ could be attributed to grain refinement and inclusion optimisation.
