Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aer Met 100 Ultra-high Strength Steel Joints by Laser Welding

AerMet100 ultra-high strength steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm were welded using a COz laser welding system. The influences of the welding process parameters on the morphology and microstructure of the welding joints were investigated, and the mechanical property of the welding joints was analyzed. The experimental results showed that the fusion zone of welding joint mainly consisted of columnar grains and a fine dendrite substructure grew epitaxially from the matrix. With the other conditions remaining unchanged, a finer weld microstructure was along with the scanning speed increase. The solidification microstructure gradually transformed from cellular crystal into dendrite crystal and the spaces of dendrite secondary arms rose from the fusion line to the center of the fusion zone. In the fusion zone of the weld, the rapid cooling caused the formation of martensite, which led the microhardness of the fusion zone higher than that of the matrix and the heat affected zone. The tensile strength of the welding joints was tested as 1 700 MPa, which was about 87% of the matrix. However, the tensile strength of the welding joints without defects existed was tested as 1832 MPa, which was about 94% of the matrix.

AerMet100超高强度钢的动态力学性能研究

对AerMet100超高强度钢淬火后深冷处理,然后在不同温度下回火,利用OM,SEM,TEM对处理后的组织进行观察。采用分离式Hopkinson压杆研究不同热处理工艺对其动态力学性能的影响规律。结果表明:深冷处理可降低残余奥氏体的含量,提高材料的动态塑性,改善材料的综合性能;在高应变率(1000~4200s^(-1))下,与准静态相比,材料表现出明显的应变率硬化效应。随着回火温度的升高,材料的动态压缩强度呈现出先升高后降低的趋势,在482℃时出现峰值,约为2800MPa。在动态加载条件下,材料的断裂形式均是剪切断裂。
