煤矿机械用Q690高强钢抗裂性研究

对煤矿机械用Q690高强钢,采用其配套焊丝(GHS75M)进行抗裂性试验,并测定了焊丝熔敷金属扩散氢逸出特性,研究了焊缝金属残余扩散氢对试验用钢抗裂性的影响.结果表明:该钢具有一定的冷裂倾向.试验焊材熔敷金属扩散氢含量为1.7 mL/100 g,初期扩散氢逸出速率较大,在焊缝冷却过程中扩散氢可以较快逸出.残余扩散氢含量主要与从峰值温度到100℃温度区间的冷却时间t100有关,单道焊焊缝金属冷速快,t100较小,残余扩散氢较多,而多层多道焊增加了t100,且提高HDr100容许值,残余扩散氢含量很低.该钢采用焊后热处理是保守的工艺.     

焊接热输入对X80焊管焊缝组织与性能的影响

针对双面螺旋埋弧焊管所具有的先内焊后外焊的焊接顺序特点,以实际焊缝为研究对象,采用焊接热循环理论,利用焊接热模拟技术、现代材料力学性能检测技术和显微分析方法,对X80管线钢内焊缝在不同热输入下的韧性分布规律以及组织特征进行了研究.结果表明:当焊接线能量为17～35kJ/cm时,X80管线钢焊缝粗晶热影响区(WCGHAZ)可获得较好的韧性水平,其中线能量为20kJ/cm时,WCGHAZ可获得最佳韧性水平.当焊接线能量小于17kJ/cm和大于35kJ/cm时,X80管线钢WCGHAZ的韧性水平都有所下降.因此可将17～35kJ/cm的线能量作为X80管线钢外焊缝的推荐焊接工艺规范.

采用10 kJ/cm和15 kJ/cm两种焊接热输入对Q1100超高强钢进行熔化极气体保护焊,研究焊接接头的组织性能及局部腐蚀行为。结果表明：两种热输入焊接接头的焊缝组织主要为针状铁素体和少量的粒状贝氏体,粗晶区组织均为板条贝氏体,细晶区组织均为板条贝氏体和粒状贝氏体,临界相变区组织为多边形铁素体、马奥岛和碳化物的混合组织。两种热输入焊接接头中电荷转移电阻均为母材>热影响区>焊缝区,母材耐蚀性最好,热影响区次之,焊缝区耐蚀性最差。在腐蚀过程中,焊缝区作为阳极最先被腐蚀,当腐蚀一定时间后,腐蚀位置发生改变,阳极腐蚀区域转移到母材区,而焊缝区作为阴极得到保护。热输入为10 kJ/cm时,焊接接头具有更好的低温韧性和耐蚀性,其焊缝和热影响区-40℃冲击功分别为46.5 J和30.2 J。     

热输入对E40钢双丝埋弧焊焊缝组织及性能的影响

为研究最新研制的大热输入焊接所用低合金高强实心焊丝G55,对大热输入用钢E40进行热输入分别为60、122、158 kJ/cm的双丝埋弧焊焊接.经过拉伸、冲击试验及光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜分析,对焊接接头焊缝组织性能进行研究,并对接头强韧性进行分析.结果表明:不同热输入焊缝组织均以针状铁素体组织为主;随着热输入的增加,焊缝冲击韧性增加,这是因为焊接热输入增加时,柱状晶比例减小、宽度增加,针状铁素体含量增加;焊缝中含氧量减少,夹杂物数量减少;焊接道次减少导致块状铁素体含量减少等三方面因素.随着热输入的增加,焊缝金属强度提高,主要是因焊缝针状铁素体组织含量增加.

Effect of heat input on microstructure and mechanical properties of dissimilar joints between super duplex stainless steel and high strength low alloy steel

In the present study, microstructure and mechanical properties of UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS)/API X-65 high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) dissimilar joint were investigated. For this purpose, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used in two different heat inputs: 0.506 and 0.86 kJ/mm. The microstructures investigation with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction showed that an increase in heat input led to a decrease in ferrite percentage, and that detrimental phases were not present. It also indicated that in heat affected zone of HSLA base metal in low heat input, bainite and ferrite phases were created; but in high heat input, perlite and ferrite phases were created. The results of impact tests revealed that the specimen with low heat input exhibited brittle fracture and that with high heat input had a higher strength than the base metals.     

Effect of weld heat input on toughness and structure of HAZ of a new super-high strength steel

Fracture morphology and fine structure in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of HQ130 super-high strength steel are studied by means of SEM, TEM and electron diffraction technique. Test results indicated that the structure of HAZ of HQ130 steel was mainly lath martensite (ML), in which there were a lot of dislocations in the sub-structure inside ML lath, the dislocation density was about (0.3∼ 0.9) x 10¹²/cm². No obvious twin was observed in the HAZ under the condition of normal weld heat input. By controlling weld heat input (E ≤20 kJ/cm), the impact toughness in the HAZ can be assured.     

Effects of Mn and Ti on microstructure and inclusions in weld metal of high strength low alloy steel

Abstract

The influences of alloying elements on chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions, impact toughness and microstructure in weld metals of high strength low alloy steels have been studied. Results indicated that microstructure had changed from a mixture of acicular ferrite, proeutectoid ferrite, ferrite side plates and microphases to a mixture of acicular ferrite, bainite and microphases due to the addition of Mn and Ti. The impact toughness of weld metal was improved correspondingly. The volume fraction and composition of inclusions both influenced the proportion of acicular ferrite. Mn and Si based oxide globular inclusions located at the boundary of acicular ferrite plates in the weld metal produced using C–Mn–Si–Cu wire. When Mn and Ti were added to welding wires, the inclusions within acicular ferrite plates permitted fewer primary acicular ferrite plates to grow into relatively larger dimensions. Secondary acicular ferrites nucleating on pre-existing ferrite plates refined microstructure effectively.     

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.     

Effect of heat treatment on mechanical and ballistic properties of a high strength armour steel

In the present study an ultra high strength armour steel was austenatised at 910°C followed by tempering at 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600°C. After heat treatment the properties of tensile strength, ductility, charpy impact strength, hardness and microstructure were evaluated from the mechanical tests and metallographic analysis respectively. The ballistic behavior of the heat-treated plates was evaluated impacting against non-deformable hard steel core projectiles at 840 ± 15 m/s at normal angle of attack. The changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties with heat treatment have been correlated with ballistic performance of the steel. Experimental results showed that 200°C tempering gives the best ballistic performance.     

Effect of post weld heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ITER-grade 316LN austenitic stainless steel weldments

The effect of postweld heat treatment (PWHT) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ITER-grade 316LN austenitic stainless steel joints with ER316LMn filler material was investigated. PWHT aging was performed for 1 h at four different temperatures of 600 °C, 760 °C, 870 °C and 920 °C, respectively. The microstructure revealed the sigma phase precipitation occurred in the weld metals heat-treated at the temperature of 870 °C and 920 °C. The PWHT temperatures have the less effect on the tensile strength, and the maximum tensile strength of the joints is about 630 MPa, reaching the 95% of the base metal, whereas the elongation is enhanced with the rise of PWHT temperatures. Meanwhile, the sigma phase precipitation in the weld metals reduces the impact toughness.     

Influence of Y on microstructures and mechanical properties of high strength steel weld metal

A comprehensive investigation is conducted into the effect of yttrium oxide on microstructures of weld metal deposits and mechanical properties of high strength steel electrode measured in the Ni–Cr–Mo–V alloy system. The results demonstrate a gradual decrease of the content of proeutectoid ferrites and a gradual increase of acicular ferrites, as the content of yttrium oxide increases from 0% to 0.02%. However, as the content of yttrium oxide surpasses 0.02%, the content of acicular ferrites reduces significantly. Meanwhile, the toughness under low-temperature impact increases and then decreases, as the content of yttrium varies from 0% to 0.03%, reaching the maximum of 102J at the field of 0.02%. However, the strength fails to change significantly. The results also indicate that the cold cracking sensitivity is lower when the content of yttrium oxide is 0.02%, but the values would increase as the content of yttrium oxide fluctuates.     

Effects of several TIG weld repairs on the axial fatigue strength of AISI 4130 aeronautical steel‐welded joints

Welded joints of airframes critical to the flight‐safety are commonly repair welded during its operational live. In this study, the effect of up to three weld repairs by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) on the axial fatigue strength of AISI4130 steel used in an airframe critical to the flight‐safety was investigated. The tests were performed on hot‐rolled steel plate specimens, 0.89 mm thick, with load ratio R= 0.1, constant amplitude, at 20 Hz frequency and room temperature. The results obtained indicated that the axial fatigue strength decreased with the GTAW process itself, and with the subsequent repair cycles, as a consequence of microstructural and microhardness changes and of weld profile geometry factors, which induced high stress concentration at the weld toe.
