However, fusion welding of these steels leads to the problems such as cold cracking, residual stress, distortion and fatigue damage. These problems can be eliminated by solid state welding process such as friction stir welding(FSW). In this investigation, a comparative evaluation of mechanical(tensile, impact,hardness) properties and microstructural features of shielded metal arc(SMA), gas metal arc(GMA) and friction stir welded(FSW) naval grade HSLA steel joints was carried out. It was found that the use of FSW process eliminated the problems related to fusion welding processes and also resulted in the superior mechanical properties compared to GMA and SMA welded joints.展开更多

In the present investigation, the fatigue crack growth behaviour of weld metal (WM) and heat affected zone (HAZ) regions of under matched (UM), equal matched (EM) and over matched (OM) joints has been studied. The base material used in this investigation is HSLA-80 steel of weldable grade. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process has been used to fabricate the butt joints. Centre cracked tension (CCT) specimen has been used to evaluate the fatigue crack growth behaviour of the welded joints. Fatigue crack growth experiments have been conducted using servo hydraulic controlled fatigue testing machine at constant amplitude loading (R=0).A method has been proposed to predict the fatigue life of HSLA steel welds using fracture mechanics approach by incorporating influences of mismatch ratio (MMR) and notch location.展开更多

The relative content of different microstructure was evaluated with XQF 2000 micro image analyzer. The effect of acicular ferrite content on the impact toughness was also studied. The test results indicated that the main microstructure in the weld metals of HQ130+QJ63 high strength steels is acicular ferrite and a few pro eutectic ferrite on the boundary of original austenite grain. Near the fusion zone there are columnar grains whose direction coefficient (X) is 3 22, but the microstructure in the center of the weld metal is isometric grain, whose direction coefficient X=1 In order to avoid welding crack and improve welding technology the weld heat input should be strictly controlled in 10-16 kJ/cm. Thus, the main microstructure in the weld metals is fine acicular ferrite and the content of pro eutectic ferrite is limited. The impact toughness in the weld metals of HQ130+QJ63 steels can be ensured and can meet the requirements for application in engineering and machinery.展开更多
