铜-钢电子束焊接材料的疲劳特性EI北大核心

异种金属焊接构件的疲劳性能对于航天器的服役可靠性具有重要影响。探索了Cr0.8铜合金和1Cr21Ni5Ti不锈钢异种金属焊接接头的疲劳寿命和疲劳断裂机制,采用合理的电子束焊接工艺制备得到铜-钢复合板。利用金相显微镜表征和分析焊缝处的组织与成分,使用电子拉伸试验机和疲劳试验机对焊接接头进行力学性能测试,利用扫描电镜观察不同周次断裂下的疲劳断口。结果显示:两种金属整体冶金结合情况良好,但是钢侧局部熔合区面积较大且由钢基体伸入到焊缝中;铜-钢电子束焊接接头的拉伸试样均断裂于焊缝最小截面处,疲劳试样的平均疲劳极限值为48.04 MPa,且均起裂于焊缝最小截面处;高周疲劳试样在焊缝上表面端点处观察到单一裂纹源,低周疲劳试样观察到较多裂纹源分布于焊缝上下表面及内部,两者的最终断裂区均位于铜合金基体。可见在疲劳断裂过程中,焊接试样在高周和低周断裂下的裂纹源数量存在差异,但是裂纹均易萌生于焊缝最小截面处,且向铜合金基体进行扩展。     

6061-T6 铝合金激光焊接接头腐蚀疲劳裂纹扩展

目的研究6061-T6铝合金激光焊接接头的腐蚀疲劳裂纹扩展特性,并分析裂纹扩展的影响因素。方法利用光纤激光器,焊接尺寸为150 mm×100 mm×4 mm(焊接方向、横向、熔深方向)的6061-T6铝合金,采用SE(B)三点弯曲疲劳裂纹扩展试验并利用连续降K法,分别在空气和人工海水中进行疲劳裂纹扩展试验,通过使用金相显微镜(OE)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM),对金相结构进行观测分析。结果同样工艺参数的焊接接头,在海水中疲劳裂纹门槛值(4.063 016 MPa·m~(0.5))大于空气中的门槛值(3.479 166 MPa·m~(0.5));在疲劳裂纹扩展中速区(da/dN10~(-5) mm/cycle)时,海水焊接接头疲劳裂纹扩展速率大于空气中的,低速区(da/d N10~(-5) mm/cycle)则小于在空气中的。结论成形良好的焊缝、晶粒细小的焊缝组织有助于接头疲劳裂纹扩展性能的提高;中速区,海水中疲劳裂纹扩展速率偏大,主要是由腐蚀条件下焊缝裂纹尖端阳极溶解和交变载荷共同作用导致;低速区,海水中疲劳裂纹扩展速率偏小,主要原因是腐蚀产物堆积于疲劳裂纹扩展尖端,产生较强裂纹闭合效应。

In-situ SEM study of short fatigue crack propagation behavior in a dissimilar metal welded joint of nuclear power plant

In-situ Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) fatigue experiments were carried out to study short fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behavior of various regions (weld zone, interface region and heat affected zone (HAZ)) in a domestic dissimilar metal welded joint of nuclear power plant. The local microstructural effect on short fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior was investigated with its influence on both material fatigue and structure fatigue analyzed. Considering material fatigue, in the weld region, crack grows along δ ferrites when propagating parallel to the dendrite, and deflects or branches along δ ferrite, γ austenite dendrite, δ/γ interface and grain boundaries when propagating perpendicular to the dendrite; in safe ends, the crack grows along slip lines and coalesces with secondary cracks; in A508 HAZ, the crack propagates or branches along martensite transgranularly. In terms of structural fatigue, the crack tends to deflect when propagating across the weld/A508 interface or weld/316 L interface with the influence of local microstructure, and the weld/A508 interface region has a resistance to FCP due to its high strength. The fatigue crack propagation rate of each region was compared and analyzed. The fatigue fractography was also characterized under SEM to analyze the crack propagation process.     

Structure‐property investigations on a laser beam welded dissimilar joint of aluminium AA6056 and titanium Ti6Al4V for aeronautical applications. Part II: Resistance to fatigue crack propagation and fracture

Investigations were continued on the dissimilar laser beam welds of AA6056 and Ti6Al4V, fabricated by inserting Ti‐sheet into the profiled Al‐sheet and melting AA6056 alone. By using microstructure, hardness and strength as the criteria, sites exhibiting non‐uniform microstructure and localized plastic deformation due to strength mismatch were investigated in two orientations: ? crack parallel to the weld and ? crack perpendicular to the weld for fatigue crack propagation and fracture toughness at room temperature. Effect of temper of AA6056 on these properties was studied for two conditions; welding in T4 followed by post weld heat treatment T6, and welding in T6 and naturally aged for a defined period. The orientation “crack parallel to the weld” was investigated in 3 locations on the side of AA6056: the interface and the two changeovers on the Al‐side. Firstly, between the fusion zone and the heat affected zone (3 mm from the interface) and secondly, between (primary) heat affected zone and towards the base material (7 mm from the interface). Although brittle intermetallic TiAl₃ had been formed at the interface, uncontrolled separation or debonding at the interface was not observed. Insofar the bond quality of the weld was good. However, the ranking of interface was the lowest since fatigue crack propagation was relatively faster than that in the fusion zone and heat affected zone, and fracture toughness was low. Therefore, unstable fatigue crack propagation is observed when the crack propagates perpendicular to the weld from AA6056 towards Ti6Al4V. The results have shown that the dissimilar joints exhibit improved performance when laser beam welded in the T6 condition.     

Fatigue crack propagation behavior in friction stir welding of AA6063-T5: Roles of residual stress and microstructure

Behavior of fatigue crack which was propagated at some representative areas in the friction stir welded (FSWed) joint of aluminum alloy 6063-T5 was studied. By extracting the T–L orientation specimens so that the loading axis on the fatigue test and the crack propagation direction were transverse and longitudinal to the welding direction, respectively, the crack propagation tests were carried out for both the as-welded and post-weld heat treated (PWHTed) FSWs at room temperature and 200 °C. The experiments showed that the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) rates were sensitive to the propagating location, the test temperature, and the PWHT condition as well. It was also found that the different FCP rates were driven by the microstructural influences in and around the welded zone. While the residual stress was remarkable in the shoulder limit areas, it had a minor effect on the FCP behavior.     

Analytical and experimental investigation of fatigue crack propagation for polyethylene methacrylate

The fatigue crack growth of most polymers is sensitive to temperature. In this paper, tests on fatigue crack growth of polyethylene methacrylate were carried out and the fatigue crack growth rate was obtained at temperature range −50 to 90 °C and frequency 1 Hz. The fatigue crack propagation (FCP) properties of polyethylene methacrylate and metals were studied comparatively and a new modified formula for FCP rate was deduced to describe the polyethylene methacrylate FCP rates. The formula includes four parameters: the FCP threshold, Young's modulus, fracture toughness and stress ratio. The predicted curve based on this modified formula corresponds very well with the test data of polyethylene methacrylate at different temperatures. Therefore, the modified formula can be used to describe the FCP process.     

高强度结构钢及其接头热影响区的疲劳及断裂性能分析

Microstructure and fatigue properties of Mg-to-steel dissimilar resistance spot welds

The structural application of lightweight magnesium alloys in the automotive industry inevitably involves dissimilar welding with steels and the related durability issues. This study was aimed at evaluating the microstructural change and fatigue resistance of Mg/steel resistance spot welds, in comparison with Mg/Mg welds. The microstructure of Mg/Mg spot welds can be divided into: base metal, heat affected zone and fusion zone (nugget). However, the microstructure of Mg/steel dissimilar spot welds had three different regions along the joined interface: weld brazing, solid-state joining and soldering. The horizontal and vertical Mg hardness profiles of Mg/steel and Mg/Mg welds were similar. Both Mg/steel and Mg/Mg welds were observed to have an equivalent fatigue resistance due to similar crack propagation characteristics and failure mode. Both Mg/steel and Mg/Mg welds failed through thickness in the magnesium sheet under stress-controlled cyclic loading, but fatigue crack initiation of the two types of welds was different. The crack initiation of Mg/Mg welds was occurred due to a combined effect of stress concentration, grain growth in the heat affected zone (HAZ), and the presence of Al-rich phases at HAZ grain boundaries, while the penetration of small amounts of Zn coating into the Mg base metal stemming from the liquid metal induced embrittlement led to crack initiation in the Mg/steel welds.

Fatigue crack propagation behavior of friction stir welded 5083-H32 Al alloy

Fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behavior of friction stir welded (FSWed) 5083-H32 Al alloy was examined with the fatigue crack growing either along the dynamically recrystallized zone (DXZ) at variable ΔK or perpendicular to the DXZ at a constant ΔK value of 10, 13, 15, and 17 MPa√m, respectively. The FCP behavior of FSWed 5083-H32 specimen is substantially influenced by the presence of FSW zone, the trend of which is discussed based on residual stress measurement and fractographic observation.     

Fatigue crack propagation behavior of multiphase microstructure in a quenched and partitioned medium-carbon bainitic steel

A medium-carbon steel was treated by the bainitic isothermal transformation plus quenching and partitioning (B-QP) process to obtain bainite/martensite/retained austenite multiphase microstructure, and its fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behavior was evaluated in contrast with BAT (bainite austempering) sample with fully bainite microstructure. Results show that B-QP sample exhibits a lower FCP rate and higher fatigue threshold ΔK_th (12.6 MPa·m^1/2). Moreover, the FCP path of B-QP sample displays a strongly tortuosity and more crack branching due to more filmy retained austenite (7.2%) and higher percentage of high angle misoriented boundaries (68%). The larger crack tortuosity and the secondary cracks as result of crack branching are primarily responsible for the lower FCP rate of B-QP sample. In addition, the FCP rate curve of B-QP sample shows a pronounced small plateauing at the near-threshold zone, which can be ascribed to the mechanical twinning that occurred in the filmy retained austenite.     

Fracture mechanics assessment of railway axles: Experimental characterization and computation

The results of a joint research project aiming at developing validated fracture mechanics assessment procedures for railway axles are presented. Experimentally determined fatigue crack growth parameters for the commonly used axle steel 25CrMo4 (A4T) and the high strength steel 34CrNiMo6 are included in the range of stable crack propagation and near threshold. The results are employed for predicting fatigue crack growth for cracks initiating at the axle shaft. For the computational modelling of fatigue crack propagation a generally applicable solution for stress intensity factors has been derived. Furthermore, the influence of variable amplitude loading (block loading) on the crack propagation behaviour has been studied and is discussed. The computational results are in good agreement with experimental data determined on standard fracture mechanics specimens as well as down-scaled and geometrically similar axle specimens.
