To clarity the effect of impact temperature on impact properties of weld metal （WM） and heat- affected zone （ HAZ）, Charpy V impact tests at different temperatures and fracture surface analysis were carried out. The Charpy V impact energy decreases with the decreasing test temperature both for the WM and HAZ, while the proportion of crystal zone on WM and HAZ impact fracture surface increases with the decreasing test temperature. Research results indicate that the welding defects （void and slag） make the impact energy of WM more scattered and lower than that of HAZ.展开更多

Experimental results show that the microstructure of the deposited metal was mainly composed of martensite, bainite and retained austenite. With increasing carbon content, the proportion of martensite increased, and the amount of bainite was reduced. High carbon content is beneficial to strength, but harmful to impact toughness, and thus, carbon reductions lead to the increase in impact toughness. When the carbon content was 0.100 wt.%, the lowest Charpy absorbed energy of 47 J at — 40℃ for the deposited metal was achieved, the highest yield strength of 1038 MPa was attained, and the yield-to-tensile ratio was more than 0.88, while the highest Charpy absorbed energy of 55.7 J at — 40℃ and the lowest yield strength of 915 MPa were obtained when the deposited metal contains 0.078 wt.% C, and the yield-to-tensile ratio was less than 0.85. It is concluded that bainite fraction and fine effective grain size were the dominant factors to achieve good comprehensive mechanical properties (the required strength and an acceptable toughness) of deposited metals with various carbon contents.展开更多
