Recent discoveries of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) at nickel-based metals in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs) have raised concerns about safety and integrity of plant components. It has been recognized that welding residual stress is an important factor causing the issue of SCC in a weldment. In this study, both numerical simulation technology and experimental method were employed to investigate the characteristics of welding residual stress distribution in several typical welded joints, which are used in nuclear power plants. These joints include a thick plate butt-welded Alloy 600 joint, a dissimilar metal J-groove set-in joint and a dissimilar metal girth-butt joint. First of all, numerical simulation technology was used to predict welding residual stresses in these three joints, and the influence of heat source model on welding residual stress was examined. Meanwhile, the influence of other thermal processes such as cladding, buttering and heat treatment on the final residual stresses in the dissimilar metal girth-butt joint was also clarified. Secondly, we also measured the residual stresses in three corresponding mock-ups. Finally, the comparisons of the simulation results and the measured data have shed light on how to effectively simulate welding residual stress in these typical joints.

Basing on a giant truss, this passage did a macro assessment of welding resjdual stress by the changes of material hardness which was measured by brinell hardness method after welding. This experiment measured about 1728 measurement points on 72 nodes. Statistical analysis of the hardness data shows that hardness of base metal decreases in the area of HAZ ,and plastic of welded joints increases.

Ultrasonic Impact Treatment

Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) is an effective method that has been widely applied in welding structure to improve the fatigue properties of materials. It combines mechanical impact and ultrasonic vibration to produce plastic deformation on the weld joints surface, which introduces beneficial compressive residual stress distribution. To evaluate the effect of UIT technology on alleviating the residual stress of welded joints, a novel numerical analysis method based on the inherent strain theory is proposed to simulate the stress superposition of welding and subsequent UIT process of 304 stainless steel. Meanwhile, the experiment according to the process was carried out to verify the simulation of residual stress values before and after UIT. By the results, optimization of UIT application could effectively reduce the residual stress concentration after welding process. Residual tensile stress of welded joints after UIT is transformed into residual compressive stress. UIT formed a residual compressive stress layer with a thickness of about 0.13 mm on the plate. The numerical simulation results are consistent with the experimental results. The work in this paper could provide theoretical basis and technical support for the reasonable evaluation of the ultrasonic impact on residual stress elimination and mechanical properties improvement of welded joints.

The welding residual stress has different effects on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy welded joints, such as size stability, fatigue strength and stress corrosion cracking. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the welding residual stress accurately. In this paper, the residual stress of A7N01 aluminum alloy welded joints was measured by X-ray diffraction. In contrast to the traditional method, the cos[Formula: see text] method was used in this paper, the results were compared with those obtained by the conventional [Formula: see text] method. In addition, the influence of oscillation unit on the test results of the cos[Formula: see text] method was studied.

Steel Stud

The distribution and value of welding residual stress for 1Cr18Ni9 stainless steel stud welding joints was systemically simulated by ANSYS FE software. The mathematical estimating models of strength of the welded joints were established. Simulation results showed that the welding residual stress was tensile at the edge of the stud, while it was compressive stress at the position near axis center. The largest tensile stress did not exceed yield limit of material. The residual stress had more influence on the strength of welded joints.

Delayed Cracking

Based on the estimation of the critical hydrogen pressure and concentrations required for hydrogen-induced delayed cracking in high-strength steel, the conclusion that welded joints are hydrogen pressure microcracks body can be drawn under certain conditions. Through the analysis of the relationship between the microstructure evolution of welded joints, diffusion enrichment of hydrogen and cracking behavior, the formation mechanism of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking in weld center of high-strength steel joints is analyzed and the mechanism that stress induced the residual diffusion hydrogen gathered to promote the hydrogen pressure microcracks propagation is proposed. The research shows that the initation and propogation of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking in weld center can be divided into two stages, i.e. irreversible hydrogen damage stage and reversible hydrogen damage stage. In irreversible stage hydrogen pressure is the main causes of the initation of microcracks, while in reversible stage welding residual stress and residual diffusible hydrogen are necessary conditions for microcracks growth. The microcracks growth can be controlled by regulating welding residual stress.
