Finite element analysis of residual stress in the welded zone of a high strength steel

The distribution of the residual stress in the weld joint of HQ130 grade high strength steel was investigated by means of finite element method (FEM) using ANSYS software. Welding was carried out using gas shielded arc welding with a heat input of 16 kJ/cm. The FEM analysis on the weld joint reveals that there is a stress gradient around the fusion zone of weld joint. The instantaneous residual stress on the weld surface goes up to 800 ∼ 1000 MPa and it is 500 ∼ 600 MPa, below the weld. The stress gradient near the fusion zone is higher than any other location in the surrounding area. This is attributed as one of the significant reasons for the development of cold cracks at the fusion zone in the high strength steel. In order to avoid such welding cracks, the thermal stress in the weld joint has to be minimized by controlling the weld heat input.

母材碳含量对异种钢焊接熔合区形态的影响

利用扫描电镜及能谱分析技术，系统地研究了相同焊接工艺条件下，母材碳含量对异种钢焊接熔合区形态的影响。结果发现随碳含量增加，熔合区中的类马氏体层消失，呈锯齿状的部分熔合区增宽。对其产生机理现进行了探讨，认为一般的焊接特征区划分方案不完全适用于异种钢焊接情况。     

不同强度级别双相不锈钢激光焊接头的组织与力学性能

目的 为了合理制定不同强度等级DP钢同种和异种接头的激光焊接工艺,研究激光焊接工艺对接头组织性能的影响。方法 采用SEM、硬度试验、拉伸试验等手段,研究不同强度等级DP钢同种和异种激光焊接接头的微观组织和力学性能。结果 对于同种DP钢激光焊接,由于接头各个区域经历的热循环不同,因此其马氏体体积分数和形态、含碳量等存在明显差异。在焊缝熔合区,由于冷却速度较高,因此马氏体体积分数较高且为细条状,硬度高于母材硬度。在热影响区,由于马氏体发生了回火分解,因此其硬度值低于母材硬度,且软化的程度和范围大小与DP钢的强度级别相关。软化的热影响区成为接头的薄弱区域,降低了接头的拉伸性能。在异种DP钢激光焊接接头中,焊缝熔合区的硬度也明显高于母材硬度。靠近高强度级别母材侧的热影响区范围更大,软化程度更明显,接头硬度分布不再对称。接头的抗拉强度与低等级DP钢母材的抗拉强度基本一致。结论 激光焊接工艺对不同强度等级DP钢同种和异种接头组织性能的影响存在较大的差异,DP钢强度级别越高,接头或接头对应侧的热影响区软化程度越明显,这在制定焊接工艺以及焊后处理工艺过程中需要予以考虑。     

Formation of a crack-free joint between Ti alloyand Al alloy by using a high-power CO2 laser

The present paper aims at producing a crack-free weld between a commercially available Ti alloy (Ti-6 wt% Al-4 wt% V) and a wrought Al alloy (Al-1 wt% Mg-0.9 wt% Si). Ti alloy and Al alloy with a plate thickness of 3 mm are butt welded using a 2.5 kW continuous CO2 laser. The laser power, welding speeds and offset of the laser with respect to the joint are considered as the variable parameters. It is observed that intermetallic compounds (mainly TiAl and Ti3Al) are formed in the fusion zone depending on the amount of Al and Ti melted by the laser. These intermetallic phases are very brittle and the solid-state cracks are formed near the Al side of the interface because of the stress developed after the solidification. The formation of cracks is sensitive to the total Al content in the fusion zone. In order to minimize the dissolution of Al in the fusion zone and to increase the toughness of the intermetallic phases, Nb foil is added as a buffer between the Ti alloy and Al alloy workpieces. It is observed that the partially melted Nb acts as a barrier to dissolve Al in the fusion zone and facilitates a good joining condition for welding of Ti alloy with Al alloy.

车用TRIP590钢光纤激光焊接接头组织与性能研究

为了促进先进高强钢激光焊接技术的发展,采用光纤激光器对1.5mm厚的TRIP590钢板进行焊接,对焊接接头的微观组织、硬度以及拉伸性能进行了研究,分析了焊接速度对组织、性能的影响。结果表明:焊缝组织主要为板条状马氏体,热影响区可分为完全淬火区和不完全淬火区。焊接接头硬度分布不均匀,在热影响区或焊缝处硬度最高。随着焊接速度提高,热影响区马氏体含量增多,贝氏体含量减少,热影响区和焊缝组织变得细小。焊接速度为3~5m/min时,拉伸试样均断裂在母材,断后延伸率均超过30%,随着焊接速度提高,断后延伸率也有所提高,强塑积(PSE)均在20000MPa%以上,拉伸变形过程中相变诱发效应显著,大部分残余奥氏体转变为马氏体,在提高材料塑性的同时也提高了强度,实现了高强度和高塑性的统一。     

热输入对Inconel 617镍基高温合金激光焊接接头显微组织与力学性能的影响EI北大核心

采用两种热输入不同的焊接工艺参数对3 mm壁厚的Inconel 617镍基高温合金进行激光焊接。通过光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对焊接接头显微组织进行观察分析,并测试了焊接接头在室温(25℃)及高温(900℃)下的拉伸性能。结果表明:激光焊接热输入对Inconel 617焊接接头显微组织及力学性能影响明显。在高热输入(200 J/mm)条件下,焊缝正面宽度3.88 mm,熔化区中部晶粒尺寸粗大,取向杂乱,树枝晶二次枝晶间距较大(6.71μm),枝晶间碳化物颗粒尺寸较为粗大,枝晶间Mo,Cr等合金元素的凝固偏析较为严重。焊接接头热影响区宽度约0.29 mm,在晶界和晶内形成了γ+碳化物共晶组织,这是由于焊接升温过程中,热影响区内球状碳化物颗粒与周边奥氏体发生组分液化,并在焊后凝固过程中形成共晶。低热输入(90 J/mm)工艺参数获得的焊缝正面宽度为2.28 mm,焊缝呈沿熔合线母材外延生长并沿热流方向定向凝固形成的柱状晶形态。焊缝中部树枝晶二次枝晶间距较小(2.26μm),枝晶间碳化物颗粒尺寸细小,热影响区宽度约0.15 mm。室温(25℃)拉伸测试表明:高热输入下获得的焊接接头由于焊缝中固溶元素偏析造成的局部组织弱化,从焊缝中部破坏,强度与伸长率有所降低,低热输入条件下获得的焊接接头从母材破坏。而高温实验条件下(900℃),母材晶界发生弱化导致所有试样均从母材破坏。     

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.

U75V轨道钢线性摩擦焊工艺研究

目的 提高及改善目前轨道连接与修复的质量。方法 采用线性摩擦焊（LFW）的方法,对高碳轨道钢（U71Mn）在不同参数下进行了焊接试验,并对其微观组织和力学性能进行了表征。结果 焊接参数对接头质量起着决定性的作用。根据焊后接头的微观组织差异,可将其分为4个部分：焊缝中心区（WCZ）、热力影响区（TMAZ）、热影响区（HAZ）和母材（BM）。BM为珠光体和上贝氏体的混合组织,TMAZ由珠光体和少量马氏体组成。在WCZ中,由于受到的热力耦合作用的增强和更高的冷却速率,该区域马氏体含量进一步增加。在拉伸试验中,所有试样均在WCZ处发生断裂,接头的最大抗拉强度达到BM强度的86.6%。此外,WCZ中存在大量马氏体,在增加焊缝显微硬度的同时也降低了焊缝的冲击韧性。结论 采用LFW的方法可以得到焊接质量优良的轨道钢接头。     

The microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded Al–Zn–Mg alloy in as welded and heat treated conditions

High strength aluminium alloys generally present low weldability because of the poor solidification microstructure, porosity in the fusion zone and loss in mechanical properties when welded by fusion welding processes which otherwise can be welded successfully by comparatively newly developed process called friction stir welding (FSW). This paper presents the effect of post weld heat treatment (T₆) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 7039 aluminium alloy. It was observed that the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) showed coarser grains than that of nugget zone but lower than that of heat affected zone (HAZ). The decrease in yield strength of welds is more serious than decrease in ultimate tensile strength. As welded joint has highest joint efficiency (92.1%). Post weld heat treatment lowers yield strength, ultimate tensile strength but improves percentage elongation.     

Experimental investigation on dissimilar pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding of AISI 420 stainless steel to kovar alloy

This paper presents the results of an investigation on autogeneous laser welding of AISI 420 stainless steel to kovar alloy using a 100 W pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The joints had a circular geometry and butt welded. The joints were examined by optical microscope for cracks, pores and for determining the weld geometry. The microstructure of the weld and the heat affected zones were investigatedby scanning electron microscope. The austenitic microstructure was achieved in the weld. The morphology of weld zone solidification was basically cellural, being influenced by the temperature gradient. It was found that the start of solidification in the kovar side of weld zone occurred by means of epitaxial growth. When the temperature gradient was high, the columnar grains were created in the fusion boundary of 420 stainless steel side toward weld zone. Measurements taken by X-ray spectrometry for dispersion of the energy in the weld zone indicated a significantly heterogeneous distribution of chromium element. The variations in chemical compositions and grains morphologies significantly alter the Vickers microhardness values in the weld zone.

Corrosion behaviour of a thin section martensitic stainless steel GTA weldment in chloride solutions

A thin section martensitic stainless steel was welded by gas tungsten arc welding and characterized for the microstructure, hardness and corrosion behaviour in chloride solutions. Welds free from defects could be produced by autogenous welding under the optimized welding conditions. The weld metal was over-matched in terms of mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength). The general corrosion resistance and the passivation behaviour of the weld metal/heat affected zone (HAZ) region were on par with that of the parent material in chloride and sulphuric acid test electrolytes; however, in terms of pitting corrosion resistance, the martensitic-structured weld metal/HAZ region was marginally inferior compared to its parent material.
