It is revealed that the welded joint is featured by a heterogeneous juxtaposition. The coarse grained heat-affected zone(CGHAZ) primarily consists of lath bainites and minor granular bainites. The fine grained heat-affected zone(FGHAZ) is dominated by polygonal ferrites, pearlites, and fine cementite particles. Moreover, electron backscatter diffraction results further demonstrate that the CGHAZ is populated by coarse prior austenite grains(PAGs) with high frequency(61.3%) of low angle grain boundaries(LAGBs). On the other hand, the FGHAZ is filled with fine PAGs with a lower frequency(19.6%) of LAGBs. Such microstructural differences may likely contribute to differed mechanical properties for samples tested at designed positions.展开更多

Both the base material and the weld joint proved excellent strength and toughness by vibratory electrogas arc (VEGA) welding under 90 to 100 kJ/cm heat-input. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) was comprised of fine-grain zone (FGZ) and coarse-grain zone (CGZ), which characterizes fine granular structure and lathing-bainite substructure. It has found that large quantity of dispersed TiN and M23C6 precipitates restrain structure growing in HAZ and strengthen the weldment together with dislocations in the welded joint.展开更多

Simulated results show that the absorbed impact energy of heat-affected zone (HAZ) at -20℃reaches above 200J when large heat inputs of 100 to 400kJ/cm were applied, suggestive of superior HAZ toughness for large heat input welding of developed steel plate. The microstructures in HAZ are transformed from mainly fine ferrite and bainite at 100kJ/cm, through an intermediate stage of ferrite, bainite and pearlite at 200 and 300kJ/cm, to nearly fine ferrite and pearlite at 400kJ/cm. The prior austenite grain size and ferrite grain size in HAZ are controlled to ～50 and ～20μm, respectively. The high HAZ toughness is due to the inhibition of prior austenite grain size at high temperatures and the formation of beneficial microstructures to HAZ toughness during continuous cooling.展开更多
