The average tensile strength of the joints reduces 32%,53% and 59%,when the mismatch of the joint was 0. 635 mm,1. 44 mm,1. 83 mm,respectively.Incomplete penetration,additional bending moment( Ma) and decrease of effective load region area are considered to explain this phenomenon. The fracture location of tensile specimens occurred at the weld zone( WZ) close to partial melt zone( PMZ),corresponding to a sharp decline of microhardness from PMZ to WZ. The original position of fracture is found at weld toe,where incomplete penetration forms due to the introduction of gradient mismatches.展开更多
Fracture data of both parent metal and weldment metals from surface cracked tensile plates made of 2219-T87 Al alloy at cryogenic temperatures were correlated using a modified inherent flaw model. Fracture parameters ...Fracture data of both parent metal and weldment metals from surface cracked tensile plates made of 2219-T87 Al alloy at cryogenic temperatures were correlated using a modified inherent flaw model. Fracture parameters to generate the failure assessment diagram were determined for the material. Fracture analysis was carried out considering the ultimate tensile strength value and the fracture data of aluminium base metal and weldment metal generated from center–surface cracked tensile specimens having different thicknesses. The failure assessment diagram of a material generated from tensile fracture plate configuration can be applied to failure pressure estimation of any cracked component, made of the same material.展开更多
