Whereafier, the mechanical properties of welded joints of both V groove and combination double V groove were measured, while the microstructure feature and fracture morphology of both welded joints were investigated. Moreover, the effect of groove shapes on the properties of welded joints was explored. The results show that the welding efficiency of the combination double V groove joint is as two times as that of the V groove joint. But the hardness and toughness of the heat-affected zone （HAZ） with combination double V groove can not satisfy the requirements. Also, the coarse grain heat-affected zone （CGHAZ） of the cap layer is mainly composed of granular bainite, tempered martensite and a small amount of carbon-free bainite, and the fractured swface of the fusion line is entirely dominated by the quasi-cleavage mode. That the mechanical properties of the combination double V groove are lower than that of the V groove lie in the penetration ratio, welding heat input, and the areas and distribution feature of brittle zones. The combination double V groove is not suitable for the fabricating of ASTM4130 steel.展开更多

The effect of post welding heat treatment (PWHT) and welding heat inputs on the toughness of CGHAZ was also analyzed. The results show that CGHAZ has the lowest toughness, which is only 5.5%-7.1% of the base metal. CGHAZ is mainly composed of dislocation martensite, up-per and lower bainite, and M-A constituents. But after PWHT, carbides precipitate from non-equilibrium microstructures of CGHAZ accompanying some retained austenite which transforms into low bainite, thereby enhancing toughness over the base metal. Therefore, the key microstructure factors affecting fracture toughness are lathlike non-equilibrium microstructure and lowered supersaturation before and after PWHT respectively. When welding heat input is between 12 kJ/cm and 28 kJ/cm, the mechanical properties in CGHAZ of ASTM4130 with single-pass welding can satisfy the requirements when PWHT is applied.展开更多
