The Impact

In this paper, impact tests on the S30403 austenitic stainless steel at 20°C as well as −196°C were carried out. Both base plate and welded joint including weld and heat-affected zone are tested to measure the impact work KV2. It is found that when the temperature of the testing environment is decreased from 20°C to −196°C, both the impact work KV2 for the base plate and welded joint are decreased remarkably. Specifically, the impact work KV2 for the base plate decreases by 19–29% while that for the welded joint decreases by as much as 53.8%. In addition, impact tests with different size of specimens show the impact work KV2 with 5×10×55mm specimens is about 0.53–0.54 times that with 7.5×10×55mm specimens, much lower than 2/3, the ratio of two specimens’ cross section areas, indicating that rules in relevant steel or equipment standards regarding impact tests using small specimens need to be revised.

The Impact

In this paper, a series of impact tests on S30403 austenitic stainless steel at 20/−196/−269 °C were performed to determine the effects of cryogenic temperatures on the material properties. Both base plate and welded joint including weld and heat-affected zone were tested to obtain the Charpy impact energy KV2 and lateral expansion rate at the cross section. It was found that when the test temperature decreased from 20 °C to −196 °C or −269 °C, both the Charpy impact energy KV2 at the base plate and welded joint decreased drastically. Specifically, the impact energy KV2 decreased by 20% at the base plate and decreased by 54% at the welded joint from 20 °C to −196 °C, but the impact energy of base plate and welded joint did not decrease, even increased when test temperature decreased from −196 °C to −269 °C. Either at 20 °C or −196 °C, the impact energy KV2 with 5 × 10 × 55 mm3 specimens was about 0.53 times that of the 7.5 × 10 × 55 mm3 specimens, much lower than 2/3, the ratio of two specimens’ cross section areas.

The Impact

Heat-affected zone (HAZ) of welding joints critical to the equipment safety service are commonly repeatedly welded in industries. Thus, the effects of repeated welding up to six times on the microstructure and mechanical properties of HAZ for AISI 304N austenitic stainless steel specimens were investigated by a Gleeble simulator. The temperature field of HAZ was measured by in situ thermocouples. The as-welded and one to five times repeated welding were assigned as-welded (AW) and repeated welding 1–5 times (RW1–RW5), respectively. The austenitic matrices with the δ-ferrite were observed in all specimens by the metallography. The δ-ferrite content was also determined using magnetic and metallography methods. The δ-ferrite had a lathy structure with a content of 0.69–3.13 vol.%. The austenitic grains were equiaxial with an average size of 41.4–47.3 μm. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) mainly depended on the δ-ferrite content; otherwise, the impact energy mainly depended on both the austenitic grain size and the δ-ferrite content. The UTS of the RW1–RW3 specimens was above 550 MPa following the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard. The impact energy of all specimens was higher than that in ASME standard at about 56 J. The repeated welding up to three times could still meet the requirements for strength and toughness of welding specifications.

The Impact

There is a growing interest for novel materials of dissimilar metals due to higher requirements needed for some critical engineering applications. In this research, different dissimilar weld joints of high strength low alloy (HSLA) and 316 austenitic stainless steel grades were successfully produced using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process with 316L-16 and E7018 electrodes. Five variations of welding currents were employed within the specified range of each electrode. Other welding parameters such as heat inputs, welding speeds, weld sizes, arc voltages and time of welding were also varied. Specimens for different weld joint samples were subjected to microstructural studies using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The impact toughness test was also conducted on the samples using Izod impact testing machine. The analysis of the weld microstructures indicated the presence of type A and AF solidification patterns of austenitic stainless steels. The results further showed that the weld joints consolidated with E7018 electrode presented comparatively superior impact energy to the weldments fabricated by 316L-16 electrode. The optimum impact energy of E7018-weld joints (51J) was attained at higher welding heat inputs while that of 316L-16-weld joints (35J) was achieved at lower welding heat inputs, which are necessary requirements for the two electrodes used in the experiment. Hence, the dissimilar weld joints investigated could meet requirement for engineering application in offshore and other critical environments.Keywords—Dissimilar metal weld, heat input, impact toughness, microstructures

There are many problems and physical phenomena in turning process, like machined surface quality, cutting force, tool wear, and so on. These factors and the chip shape of workpiece materials, which is an important aspect to study the mechanism of ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning, go hand in hand. This article first introduces the types and changes of chip, meanwhile the chip formation mechanism of ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning is studied and analyzed, and the turning experiments of 304 austenitic stainless steel with and without ultrasonic vibration are carried out. The difference of chip morphology between ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning and conventional turning is contrasted and analyzed from the macroscopic and microscopic point of view. The influence of process parameters on chip shape and the impact of chip shape on machining effect are also analyzed. Results indicate that when process parameters (vibration frequency, ultrasonic amplitude, and cutting parameters) are suitably selected, ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning can gain access to better chip shape and chip breaking effect than conventional turning. By contrast with conventional turning, phenomenon of serrated burr on the chip edge and the surface defects of chip in ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning have improved significantly. Moreover, it is found that superior chip morphology in ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning can be acquired under the circumstance of comparatively small cutting parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate); at the same time, preferable chips can also obtain ranking machining effect.
