The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in NULCB steel under laser welding condi- tions were investigated by using a Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. The experimental results indicate that the simplex microstructure in the HAZ is granular bainite that consists of bainite-ferrite (BF) lath and M-A constituent when the cooling time from 800 to 500°C (t_(8/5)) is 0.3-30 s, and the M-A constituent consists of twinned martensite and residual austenite. As t_(8/5) increases, the hardness and tensile strength of HAZ decreases, but they are higher than that of the base metal, indicating the absence of softened zone after laser welding. The impact toughness of HAZ increases at first and then decreases when t_(8/5) increases. The impact energy of HAZ is much higher than that of the base metal when t_(8/5) is between 3 and 15 s. It indicates that excellent low temperature toughness can be obtained under ap- propriate laser welding conditions.展开更多
