15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2齿轮钢的扭转疲劳特性及裂纹扩展行为

 通过扭转疲劳试验,研究了15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢的扭转疲劳断裂的裂纹扩展行为和夹杂物尺寸与扭转疲劳寿命之间的关系。得到了钢的扭转疲劳极限强度和[τ-N]曲线,15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢的扭转疲劳极限强度为350 MPa,扭转疲劳寿命分散度较大。通过断口观察,发现15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢的疲劳破坏模式以表面破坏和近表面破坏为主,主要由氧化物夹杂引起。通过计算应力强度因子[ΔK]和裂纹扩展门槛值[ΔKth]分析15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢的疲劳裂纹扩展的断裂力学条件,试验钢在断裂过程中受载荷情况为,II型载荷—I型载荷—II型载荷—I＋II型载荷,分别对应起裂源区、纤维区、疲劳裂纹扩展区和瞬断区;当有大裂纹产生时,则不会产生纤维区,受载荷情况则为：II型载荷—I＋II型载荷。通过公式推导和数据拟合得到夹杂物尺寸和15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢扭转疲劳寿命的关系,发现随着夹杂物尺寸减小,钢的[τ-N]曲线向高寿命区移动。当引起裂纹萌生的夹杂物尺寸小于5 μm时,在350 MPa应力下,15Cr14Co12Mo5Ni2钢的扭转疲劳寿命超过107循环周次。

Fatigue crack propagation through weld heat affected zones

Fatigue tests were performed on specimens containing weld heat affected zones at two orientations to the stress axis. Two heat affected zones were studied, one in Ducol W30 (a low alloy steel) and the other in mild steel. Under conditions of constant alternating and maximum stress intensity a fatigue crack only propagated at a uniform rate when it was remote from the heat affected zone. A heat affected zone which was harder than either the parent plate or weld metal was found to reduce crack propagation rates by a factor of up to 2 by restricting the plastic zone size around the crack tip. The changes in crack propagation rate could not be related uniquely to the conditions of the material immediately adjacent to the crack tip. Furthermore, the shape of the plastic zone was found to influence the direction of the propagation of a fatigue crack which always deviated toward regions of lower flow stress. A crack was never found to follow the interface between the weld metal and the parent metal heat affected zone because the flow stresses were not the same on either side of the interface. There was no difference in crack propagation mechanism between the parent plate and its heat affected zone for the stress conditions imposed.

The noncontinuum crack tip deformation behavior of surface microcracks

The crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) of small surface fatigue cracks (lengths of the grain size) in Al 2219-T851 depends upon the location of a crack relative to the grain boundaries. Both CTOD and crack tip closure stress are greatest when the crack tip is a large distance from the next grain boundary in the direction of crack propagation. Contrary to behavioral trends predicted by continuum fracture mechanics, crack length has no detectable effect on the contribution of plastic deformation to CTOD. It is apparent from these observations that the region of significant plastic deformation is confined by the grain boundaries, resulting in a plastic zone size that is insensitive to crack length and to external load.     

The effect of defects on the fatigue crack initiation process in two p/m superalloys: part ii. surface-subsurface transition

The change in fatigue failure initiation sites from a surface to subsurface location for two P/M nickel-based superalloys is analyzed. In particular the influences of defect size, shape, and population on the elevated temperature fatigue processes are assessed. The analysis shows that at high strain ranges, crack initiation occurs rapidly, and crack propagation rates determine the fatigue life and failure site. As a result, defect location (related to population) and size are the more important parameters. At lower strain ranges, however, crack initiation is critical in determining the failure origin, and this is primarily controlled by defect shape.

Effects of Fabrication Procedures on Fatigue Resistance of Welded Joints in Steel Orthotropic Decks

A common practice for the fabrication of steel orthotropic bridge decks in the United States is to use 80% partial joint penetration (PJP) groove welds between the closed ribs and deck plate. However, it is difficult to eliminate weld melt-through with the thin rib plates. Heat straightening after welding, sometimes combined with precambering, is used to meet the deck plate flatness requirement. To study the effects of both weld melt-through and distortion control measures on the fatigue resistance of the rib-to-deck plate welded joint, six full-scale two-span orthotropic deck specimens were subjected to laboratory testing. Specimens, 10 m long and 3 m wide with four closed ribs, were fabricated with and without weld melt-through and were heat straightened; three specimens were also precambered. To simulate the effect of repetitive truck traffic, each specimen was tested up to 8 million cycles. Test results showed that six cracks initiated from the weld toe outside the rib. Only one crack developed at the weld root inside the rib; this crack initiated from a location transitioning from the 80% PJP to 100% penetration weld. None of the cracks propagated through the deck plate thickness. Precambering was beneficial in fatigue resistance as two effectively precambered specimens did not experience cracking in the PJP welds.     

High Performance Structural Steels for Shipbuilding and Offshore Structures

Recently,there have been the increase of ship size and the development of oil and gas in arctic region.These trends have led to the requirements such as high strength,good toughness at low temperature and good weldability.The high performance structural steels for shipbuilding and arctic offshore structure have been developed by our own micro-alloying and TMCP technologies.M-A constituent was precisely controlled in the both HAZ and base metal to get high toughness at low temperature.Also,the grain growth of austenite at HAZ was effectively suppressed by thermally stable TiN particles,leading to a good HAZ toughness.On the other hand,there has been the key issue of crack arrestability in large size container ship.The effect of joint design on crack arrestability was investigated to prevent a catastrophic failure along the block joint of hatch side coaming.A brittle crack arrest technique was developed without block joint shift,using an arrest weld in the end of hatch side coaming weld line.

The Analysis of Low Temperature Toughness on X80 Pipeline Steel Welded Joint

Aiming at the security problems of pipeline steel application, the different positions of the welded joints of circumferentially welding pipeline of X80 steel were investigated by microstructure observation, the hardness, Charpy impact toughness and crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) test at low temperature. The Vickers hardness test results show that there are local softened regions in heat-affected zone (HAZ). Charpy impact test indicate that the ductile–brittle transition temperature of weld is below ??60 °C, the ductile–brittle transition temperature of HAZ is around ??38 °C. CTOD test reveal that the fracture toughness of HAZ shows a large fluctuation since it is in the ductile–brittle transition temperature regime.     

Fracture behaviours of fracture toughness testing specimens with metallurgical heterogeneity along crack front

Safe use of welded structures is dependent on fracture mechanics properties of welded joints. In present research, high strength low alloyed HSLA steel in a quenched and tempered condition, corresponding to the grade HT 80, was used. The fluxo cored arc welding process (FCAW), with CO₂ as shielding gas, was used and two different tubular wires were selected. The aim of this paper is to analyse fracture behaviour of undermatched welded joints, and also to determine relevant parameters which contribute to higher critical values of fracture toughness. Towards this end three differently undermatched welded joints were analysed using results of testing the composite notched specimens with through thickness crack front positioned partly in the weld metal, partly in heat affected zone (HAZ) and partly in base material (BM).The presence of different microstructures along the pre‐crack fatigue front has an important effect on the critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD). This value is the relevant parameter for safe service of welded structure. In the case of specimens with through thickness notch partly in the weld metal, partly in the heat affected zone and partly in the base material, i.e. using the composite notched specimen, fracture behaviour strongly depends on a partition of ductile base material, size and distribution of mismatching factor along vicinity of crack front. If local brittle zones occur in the process zone, ductile base metal can not prevent pop‐in instability, but it can reduce it to an insignificant level while the fracture toughness parameter is higher and the weakest link concept can not be applied.     

Microstructural Characterization and Fatigue Performance Evaluation of MIG‐Welded Ship Hull Steel

The effectiveness of MIG welding with Argo‐shield gas & ER70S‐6 electrode in joining LRS (Grade‐B) steel was investigated through structure–property correlation of the joint region. Microstructure, tensile and fatigue properties, and mode of fracture (SEM fractograph) were correlated. Fatigue behavior has been investigated in air and sea water with thin specimen at near‐endurance stress amplitude up to 10⁵ cycles. The crack growth rate (da/dN) maintained a non‐linear relationship with logarithm of stress intensity factor range (logΔK) for the near‐threshold values of ΔK. Considerable hardness and microstructural variation was observed across the weldment. Weld with more pearlite content was found to possess higher hardness and strength than the parent steel. Though, both in weld and in parent steel, either in air or in sea water, fatigue crack propagated at very slow rate with significant intermittent crack arrest, weld provided much higher resistance to crack growth in air. However, sea water accelerated the crack growth in weld and brought it closer to that in the parent steel. The morphologically complex microstructure of weld suffered much faster crack propagation in sea water than in air. While fatigue fracture in parent steel (both in air and sea water) and weld in air was found to occur through dimple rupture via microvoid coalescence, weld in sea water exhibited a mixed mode of failure.     

A Fractographical Investigation of Weld Toe Imperfections in Tandem Gas Metal Arc Welding

Prediction and control of flaws in welds play important roles in design of complex structures against fatigue and fracture failure. Cold laps ‐ outer lack of fusion ‐ are small geometrical imperfections at weld toes, which act as fatigue crack initiation sites and reduce the life of welded structures drastically. The aim of this work is to characterize and categorize different types of such imperfections in the tandem gas metal arc welding process and find the mechanisms of their formation. Tandem welding process with different welding parameters was used to produce bead‐on‐plate coupons. These coupons were then sliced to smaller specimens for further investigations. For studying the weld toes, all the specimens were hit in an impact test machine and then the fracture surfaces of welds and base materials were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two types of cold laps were observed at weld toes, namely overlap and spatter. Observation and measurement showed that these imperfections are in the form of micro cracks with depth between 0.1 to 1.5mm and length between 0.1 to 4 mm.
