Study on the Weldability and Metallurgical Structure of 15CrMoR
The butt weld of 15CrMoR with the thickness of 55mm has been manufactured with the bonding methods of manual electric arc welding (SMAW) and submerged-arc welding (SAW), and the mechanical properties of which have been tested with the corresponding test, and the metallurgical structures have been analyzed with microscope. Conclusions have been obtained as following: the metallurgical structure of multi-layer butt weld is much more complicated than the monolayer ones; only the last weld layer has the obvious zones of weld zone, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and fusion area; the weld zone and the fusion area will be heat treated with the next layers weld finished; the mechanical property of the multi-layer butt weld is much better than the monolayer weld.
