The analysis involved a similar welded joint made of steel TP347HFG after operation at a temperature of 580°C. Tests revealed that the primary mechanisms responsible for the degradation of the microstructure in all areas of the joint subjected to analysis were precipitation processes within the grains and along the grain boundaries. The grain boundaries contained two morphologies forming a continuous lattice. Precipitation processes resulted in the high tensile strength of the joint and high hardness within the weld face area. After operation, the test joint was characterised by relatively high impact energy, which could be attributed to the fine-grained microstructure and the presence of numerous annealing twins.

Examination of Coil Pipe Butt Joint Made of 7CrMoVTiB10-10(T24) Steel After Service The paper presents the results of examination of coil pipe butt joint made of 7CrMoVTiB10-10 steel (T24). Tested joint was in service for approximately 12 000 hours at the temperature of 540°C and pressure of 5.48MPa. Tests have revealed that the structure of all regions of the homogenous welded joint are correct and without any welding imperfections. Operation of the weld contributed mainly to advantaged precipitation of carbides especially on grain boundaries - frequently in the contact area of three grains' boundaries as well as in the form of continuous network of precipitates. The measurement showed high hardness of the weld, what indicates high stability of the microstructure. It makes possible to find that post-weld heat treatment is indispensable.

AbstractSteels of the ARMOX class belong into a group of the fine-grained, increased strength steels, which are manufactured by the quenching and low-tempering procedure, with intensive thermo-mechanical treatment at high temperatures. Combination of the heat and mechanical treatments provides for the fine grains and exceptionally good properties of these steels, while the low-tempering enables relatively high hardness and good ballistic properties. This is why the welding of these steels can negatively affect the material properties in individual zones of the welded joint, what could lead to worsening of the material's ballistic properties, as well. The model plates were welded with the specially prescribed technology; the joints were the but-joint, corner joint and the joint with the shielding plate. In this paper are presented results obtained from the ballistic tests of the plates welded by the prescribed technology; tests consisted of shooting with three types of live ammunition at different types of the welded joints.

AbstractDP980 steels were joined using fiber laser welding. The welded joint was characterized in terms of hardness distribution and tensile behavior at room temperature, 150 ℃, and 300 ℃, respectively. The fine-grained martensite in supercritical heat affected zone (HAZ) resulted in the highest hardness (428 Hv), while the tempered martensite contributed to the hardness decreasing (‒31 Hv). Both the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the base metal and welded joint decreased at 150 ℃, and then increased at 300 ℃ due to dynamic strain aging (DSA). The welded joint exhibited slightly higher yield strength and lower elongation at all the test temperatures compared to base metal due to the hardened fusion zone. The energy absorption reduced slightly with increasing temperature both for base metal and welded joint, and the weld posed a minor effect on the energy absorption. Deformation was one of the requirements for DSA effect. DSA enhanced the hardness of base metal (+78 Hv) and softened zone (+53 Hv). HAZ was not softened enough to become the weakest position during tensile test.

Abstract To obtain dissimilar joint for easily making multi-material structures, the characteristics of friction welded joint between ductile cast iron (FCD400) and 5052 Al alloy (A5052) was investigated. The relatively high tensile strength of joint was obtained when that was made with a friction speed of 27.5 s−1, a friction pressure of 20 MPa, a friction time of 1.5 s, and a forge pressure of 270 MPa, respectively. However, this joint had approximately 77% in the tensile strength of the A5052 base metal and that was fractured at the weld interface. Although the weld interface had no intermetallic compound layer, the fractured surface at the A5052 side had some graphite particles that were supplied from the FCD400 side. To improve the joint strength, the graphite particles were reduced from the weld faying surface at the FCD400 side by decarburization treatment. The joint had approximately 96% in the tensile strength of the A5052 base metal and that was fractured between the A5052 side and the weld interface. The joint with high tensile strength as well as the possibility improving the fractured point of that were obtained when those were made with opportune friction welding condition and no graphite particles at the weld faying surface of the FCD400 side.

The present paper studies the influence of different cooling media (water and cryogenic media) on microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion behavior of friction stir processing of AA2014. From the electron backscattered diffraction results, it was observed that the grain size in stir zone of air-cooled friction stir processing, dry ice-cooled friction stir processing, and underwater friction stir processing are 4.9 µm, 3.5 µm, and 0.9 µm respectively, and the fraction of high angle grain boundaries are more in underwater friction stir processing sample compared to other conditions. The ultra-fine grained structure (0.9 µm) was achieved in underwater friction stir processing due to uniform heat dissipation from the processing zone to the water. Mechanical properties such as hardness and strength were improved in underwater friction stir processing compared to other conditions. The fine precipitates formed in the underwater friction stir processing sample were distributed randomly at grain boundaries, and hence corrosion resistance was improved in underwater friction stir processing sample compared to other conditions.

AbstractA more detailed examination is made of the stress-generated ice crystallization features already discussed by LaChapelle (1968), using mainly thin-section techniques. The crystallization features on the walls of a tunnel within the Blue Glacier are localized at fine-grained layers and are led by liquid water traveling along grain boundaries within the wall and within the deposits themselves. The water filling the crevasse encountered at the end of the tunnel was freezing uniformly to the crevasse walls as well as forming Thomson crystals within the water, and the evidence points to an important role for constitutional super-cooling in the Thomson crystal formation. The forms of most of the Thomson crystals are explainable qualitatively by beat flow effects.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

Microstructures and mechanical properties of lap fillet welded joints of several high and ultra-high tensile strength steel by arc welding were investigated. Steel plates having tensile strength of 400 (SPH400W), 590 (SPC590Y, SPC590R), 980 (SPC980Y) and 1500 MPa (SAC1500HP) class with 2 mm thickness were prepared. Four types of joints were formed by MAG welding; SPH400W/SPH400W, SPC590Y/SPC590Y, SPC980Y/SPC980Y and SAC1500HP/SPC590R. In joints with SPC590Y, SPC980Y and SAC1500HP steel which matrixes are martensitic microstructures, the HAZ softens due to transformation of martensite into ferrite with precipitating cementite. By using high and ultra-high tensile strength steel, the weld metal is strengthened due to dilution of the matrix into the weld metal and thus tensile shear strength of the welded joint increases. In the fatigue test, similar S-N diagrams were obtained in the all welded joints investigated. It seems that the effect of stress concentration due to the shape of the welded joint on fatigue properties is larger than that of the strength of the matrix.
