Abstract Samples from forged and heat-treated steel products with known quench crack histories have been mapped in order to study a possible relation between banding segregation and quench cracking. The steels were medium carbon low alloy steels, ingot and continuous cast, as well as vacuum arc remelt D6AC. EDS X-ray mapping was applied to characterize the banding segregation pattern from casting i.e. gradient of chemical composition that creates direction dependent properties. Trends for segregation ratios followed the expectations: the segregation ratios were higher for the quench sensitive steels.34CrNiMo6, ingot- and continuous cast, was then supplied for testing. Segregation level was pre-checked for decision for heat treatment and testing of as quenched tensile properties. There is an indication of 90 % reduction of the difference between Rm and Rp0.2, the work hardening, for the steel with lowest quality.

Welded components of low alloy steels are widely used in various applications. Stress reliving is very important to these welded structures. Vibration stress relief (VSR) is an relatively new method for this purpose. In this study, Q235 and Q345 steel plates were welded. Then they were treated by VSR. The microstructure of the welded lines were investigated and the residual stresses in two directions in these welded structures were measured. The difference of the efficiency of VSR on the two materials were investigate. It is found that, the decreasing amplitude of the residual stress in the Q235 welded structures significantly exceeded that in the Q345 welded structures. The grain size in the area near the weld lines is the main factor that affects the efficiency of the VSR treatment.
