Measuring plastic strains is very useful method for validating finite element model of weld residual stress, which is very important for understanding welding process and facilitating other engineering applications. In this work, the distribution of plastic strains in a multi-pass dissimilar metal weld comprised of Nickel Alloy 82 and austenitic stainless steel 304L is evaluated quantitatively through micro-hardness mapping. An experiment procedure was developed to separate the contribution to hardness from the plastic strain (work hardening) that forms the chemistry variation in the dissimilar metal weld. It is found that high equivalent plastic strains are predominately accumulated in the buttering layer, the root pass, and the heat affected zone, which experience multiple welding thermal cycles. The final cap passes, experiencing only one or two welding thermal cycles, exhibit less plastic strain accumulation. Moreover, the experimental residual plastic strains are compared with those predicted using an existing weld thermo-mechanical model with two different strain hardening rules.

One important part of the integrity demonstration of large ferritic components is based on the demonstration that they could never undergo brittle fracture. Connections between a ferritic component and an austenitic piping (Dissimilar Metal Weld — DMW) have to respect these rules, in particular the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) created by the welding process and which encounters a brittle-to-ductile transition. Within that frame, the case considered in this article is a Ni base alloy narrow gap weld joint between a ferritic pipe (A533 steel) and an austenitic pipe (316L stainless steel). The aim of the present study is to show that in the same loading conditions, the weld joint is less sensitive to the brittle fracture than the surrounding ferritic part of the component. That is to say that the demonstration should be focused on the ferritic base metal which is the weakest material. The bases of this study rely on a stress-based criterion developed by Chapuliot et al., using a threshold stress (σth) below which the cleavage cannot occur. This threshold stress can be used to define the brittle crack occurrence probability, which means it is possible to determine the highest loading conditions without any brittle fracture risk.

Simulation Results

A rate-independent polycrystal model, allowing for the shape and spatial coordination of neighboring constitutive crystals and for the plastic strain distribution among them, has been used to simulate the local texture evolution in an Al polycrystal under compression. The simulation results compare favourably to relevant experimental data and show the reorientation path of each crystal to strongly depend on orientations of its immediate neighbors.

In this study, a mock-up of a nuclear safe-end dissimilar metal weld (DMW) joint (SA508-3/316L) was manufactured. The manufacturing process involved cladding and buttering of the ferritic steel tube (SA508-3). It was then subjected to a stress relief heat treatment before being girth welded together with the stainless steel tube (316L). The finished mock-up was subsequently machined to its final dimension. The weld residual stresses were thoroughly characterised using neutron diffraction and the contour method. A detailed finite element (FE) modelling exercise was also carried out for the prediction of the weld residual stresses resulting from the manufacturing processes of the DMW joint. Both the experimental and numerical results showed high levels of tensile residual stresses predominantly in the hoop direction of the weld joint in its final machined condition, tending towards the OD surface. The maximum hoop residual stress determined by the contour method was 500 MPa, which compared very well with the FE prediction of 467.7 Mpa. Along the neutron scan line at the OD subsurface across the weld joint, both the contour method and the FE modelling gave maximum hoop residual stress near the weld fusion line on the 316L side at 388.2 and 453.2 Mpa respectively, whereas the neutron diffraction measured a similar value of 480.6 Mpa in the buttering zone near the SA508-3 side. The results of this research thus demonstrated the reasonable consistency of the three techniques employed in revealing the level and distribution of the residual stresses in the DMW joint for nuclear applications.
