摘要
Superplastic welding of tool steel and structural steel was investigated. The welding between 40Cr and CrWMn steels was carried out under the conditions of temperature 750~780℃, strain rate 2×10-4s-l, compressive stress 50-90 MPa for 3-5 min. The joints show similar strength to that of 40Cr steel and the good metallurgical joining is formed. The structural change occurring during Superpfastic welding was analyzed by metallography and distribution of carbon content in the vicinity of the welding joint was also determined. The mechanism of superplastic welding for steels is proposed to be the disappearance of original bond interfaces caused by atomic diffusion and the grain sliding.
