The presence of longitudinal residual stresses within built-up sections may have a marked effect on their structural behaviour when used as a column [1]. EN 1.4003, also known as 3CR12, is a weldable utility stainless steel developed to provide a superior alternative to coated carbon steels and other alloys which have poor corrosion/abrasion resistance [2]. It is also an economical substitute for conventional stainless steel where environmental conditions do not justify higher alloy content. Hot-rolled structural sections are not readily available in stainless steel and are therefore usually build up by arc and lately laser welding. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effects of thermally induced residual stresses on the structural behaviour of fabricated EN 1.4003 T-sections. Manual metal arc (MMA) welding and Laser welding are compared as regards to the induced residual stress distribution during fabrication. The residual stresses were measured using the neutron diffraction method. The effect of these measured residual stresses is investigated by incorporation into a non-linear finite element analysis. The buckling strength of a limited number of full scale columns was measured. Conclusions as regards to their effect on the structural integrity of the sections under investigation are made.

Type 304 Stainless Steel

In many of machine parts and structural components, materials surface would be worked. In this study, residual stresses on the surfaces were measured by X-ray diffraction method, and effects of surface working on the residual stresses were examined. In case of lathe machining of type 304 stainless steel bar, the residual stresses in circumferential directions are tensile, and those in axial directions are almost compressive. Highly tensile residual stresses in the circumferential directions were improved by emery paper polishing. 10 to 20 times of polishing changes high tensile residual stresses to compressive residual stresses. In the case of shot peening on a type 304 stainless steel plate, the compressive residual stress inside is several hundred MPa lower than that on the surface. By applying the emery paper polishing to the shot peened surface 10 or 20 times, the residual stress on the surface is improved to −700 MPa. While fatigue strength at 288 °C in the air of the shot peened material is 30 MPa higher than solution heat treated and electro-polished material, the fatigue strength of the shot peened and followed by emery paper polished material is 60 MPa higher. Thus, the emery paper polishing is simple and a very effective process for improvement of the residual stresses.

New equations for calculating residual stress distribution are derived from the theory of elasticity for tubes. The initial distribution of the stresses including the shearing stress is computed from longitudinal distributions of residual stresses measured by the X-ray methods at the surface after removal of successive concentric layers of material. For example, the residual stresses of a steel tube quenched in water were measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The new method was also applied to a short tube with hypothetical residual stress distribution. An alternative finite element analysis was made for a verification. The residual stresses computed by finite element modeling agreed well with the hypothetical residual stresses measured. This shows that good results can be expected from the new method. The equations can also be used for bars by simple modification.

Repair Welding

The repair reinforcement height is an important parameter of repair welding, which may have a great influence on structural integrity. In this paper, the effects of repair welding reinforcement height on the microstructure, microhardness, residual stresses and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of a 304 stainless steel-repaired joint were investigated by experimentation and simulation. With an increase of the repair weld reinforcement height, the δ ferrite content in weld and fusion zone is obviously reduced, and the ferrite shape is gradually changed from the skeleton to the worm shape. With the increase of repair welding reinforcement height, the microhardness and residual stresses decrease gradually. The tensile strength and elongation for higher repair weld reinforcement height are larger than those with lower repair weld reinforcement height. The higher the repair weld reinforcement height, the harder it is for SCC to occur. The repair welding in 304 stainless steel is recommended to be repaired no more than two times.

This paper presents results from a programme of through thickness residual stress measurements and finite element analysis (FEA) modelling carried out on a temper bead mock-up. Emphasis is placed on results comparison rather than the measurement technique and procedure, which is well documented in the accompanying references. Temper bead welding processes have been developed to simulate the tempering effect of post-weld heat treatment and are used to repair reactor pressure vessel components to alleviate the need for further heat-treatment. The Temper Bead Mock-up comprised of a rectangular block with dimension 960mm × 189mm × 124mm was manufactured from a ferritic steel forged block with an austenitic stainless steel buttering and a nickel alloy temper bead cladding. The temper bead and buttering surfaces were machined after welding. Biaxial residual stresses were measured at a number of locations using the standard Deep-Hole Drilling (DHD) and Incremental DHD (iDHD) techniques on the Temper Bead Mock-up and compared with FEA modelling results. An excellent correlation existed between the iDHD and the modelled results, and highlighted the need for the iDHD technique in order to account for plastic relaxation during the measurement process. Maximum tensile residual stresses through the thickness were observed near the austenitic stainless steel surface at 298MPa. High compressive stresses were observed within the ferritic base plate beneath the bimetallic interface between austenitic and ferritic steels with peak stresses of −377MPa in the longitudinal direction.

This paper presents measurements of the in-plane residual stress components through the wall of a 218mm long, 26mm deep repair weld, offset by 7mm from the centerline of a girth weld joining two type 316H stainless steel pipes approximately 37mm thick. The measurements were obtained using the deep hole drilling technique. Two locations were examined: (i) mid-length of the repair weld and (ii) the stop-end of the repair. Both measurements were taken along the girth weld centerline. The distributions and magnitudes of the measured longitudinal and transverse stress components at the two locations were very similar over the outer half of the pipe wall. Over the inner half of the pipe wall both components of stress were found to be significantly more compressive at the stop-end of the repair than at mid-length. In general, the transverse residual stresses were found to be lower than the longitudinal residual stresses at both locations. The measured stress profiles are compared with predicted residual stresses from a three-dimensional finite element analysis.

Stainless Steel Weld

In pressure vessels stainless steel weld-overlay cladding is a widely used technique to provide a protective barrier between the corrosive environment and the ferritic low alloy base metal. While the cladding layers enhance corrosion resistance, the induced residual stresses due to the deposition of weld layers are of major concern. It is of paramount importance to understand how residual stresses interact with service loading when the vessel is pressurized. Therefore, knowledge of the initial residual stresses due to cladding is an essential input for structural integrity assessment of pressure vessels. In the present paper the Contour Method was conducted to measure residual stresses in an austenitic steel cladded plate that was fabricated from a ferritic steel base plate with three layers of austenitic stainless steel weld metal cladding deposited on the top surface. The Contour Method was chosen for various reasons. First, it provides a full 2D variation of residual stresses over the plane of interest. Second, it is not limited by the thickness of components or microstructural variations and finally it should potentially capture the variation of residual stresses in each individual weld beads and due to the possible phase transformation in the ferritic base material. The map of longitudinal residual stresses was measured by sectioning the test component along a transverse plane at mid-length. The measured residual stresses were in good agreement with published results in the open literature.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is being taken place by partial lap laser welding for the poor surface quality and bad airtight due to the pressure of electrodes. The shape of partial lap laser welding is similar to the vase. When the penetration of the joint is in a certain range, there is no welding trace on the outer surface. Laser welding temperature field numerical analysis based on Abaqus finite element analysis software is committed to obtain a suitable range of process parameters to improve production efficiency and automation by determining the joint penetration. To master the laser lap welding of stainless steel weld penetration state, the combination of three-dimensional positive cone + three-dimensional inverted cone + half-ellipsoid heat source model was established simulating stainless steel lap laser weld pool shape and forecasting the range of process parameters .
