This study performed tensile test using small-size flat specimen and ball indentation test at room temperature to characterize the local tensile properties of bi-metallic weld joints. The weld specimens used were fabricated by joining between SA508 Gr.3 ferritic steel and Type 316 stainless steel with Alloy 82 buttering on the ferritic steel side and Alloy 82/182 weld metal. The test results showed that yield stress (YS) of weld metal was slightly higher than that of Type 316 and smaller than that of SA508 Gr.3, and ultimate tensile stress (UTS) of weld metal was similar as those of Type 316 and SA508 Gr.3 base metals. Also, the values of YS and UTS of buttering layer (Alloy 82) were nearly same as those of weld metal. Heat-affected-zones (HAZs) showed higher YS and UTS values compared to their base metals. Especially, the strengths of SA508 Gr.3 were significantly higher than those of surrounding materials. Also, it was known that the ball indentation test reasonably measured the local YS and UTS of bi-metallic weld joints.

This work studied the ball indentation test at room temperature to characterize the local tensile properties of bi-metallic weld joints. The weld specimens used were fabricated by joining between SA 508 Gr. 3 ferritic steel and Type 304LN stainless steel with Alloy 82 buttering on the ferritic steel side and Alloy 82/182 weld metal. The test results showed that yield stress (YS) of weld metal was slightly higher than that of Type 304 and smaller than that of SA508 Gr.3, and ultimate tensile stress (UTS) of weld metal was similar as those of Type 304 and SA508 Gr.3 base metals. Also, the values of YS and UTS of buttering layer (Alloy 82) were nearly same as those of weld metal. Heat-affected-zones (HAZs) showed higher YS and UTS values compared to their base metals.

The continuous indentation test, which applies an indentation load to a material and records the indentation depth, yields indentation tensile properties whose accuracy can vary depending on such experimental parameters as number of unloadings, unloading ratio, maximum depth ratio and indenter radius. The Taguchi method was used to quantify their effects and to determine their optimum values. Using signal-to-noise ratio calculated from the error in the indentation tensile properties, the criterions and the optimum values for the experimental parameters were presented. The indentation tensile properties evaluated with the optimum parameters were in better agreement with the tensile properties.

The research shows the possibility of increasing the structural strength of the weld joints of EP517 steel and 36NKhTYu iron-nickel alloy as applied to the combined bandage of the high-speed rotor of an electric machine, due to the effect of local strengthening of the soft interlayer. The technology of electron-beam welding of 36NKhTYu alloy to EP517 steel with free root formation, which allows to obtain narrow welds, is described. The results of metallographic researches and mechanical tests of weld joints with different weld widths are presented, which showed that the structure and properties of the weld metal on samples with different weld widths are almost identical. The tension test results of weld joints demonstrate a significantly greater ultimate tensile stress, compared to the ultimate tensile stress of the weld metal. Also, it was established that, due to the local strengthening phenomena the smaller the weld width, the stronger the welded joint is. In addition, the use of heat treatment after welding allows us to increase the strength properties of the weld metal and the heat-affected zone of the 36NKhTYu alloy, due to the formation of the hardening γ’-phase. The possibility of increasing the ultimate tensile strength of the weld up to 98% of the ultimate tensile stress value of EP517 steel (as the less durable of both welded materials), due to heat treatment and reducing the weld width, is demonstrated.

Automated ball indentation is a semi-invasive test method that is gaining importance as a field test method in the recent times. Based on the few cycles of loading and unloading, and corresponding load, deflection characteristics, it is possible to estimate the true stress-true strain information of a material. In the present work, ball indentation has been used to evaluate the static and fatigue properties of base material as well as material subjected to different types of damage, such as fatigue, weldment etc. The tensile properties and fatigue properties were found to be affected by the prior damage history.
