Three kinds of tests, including uniaxial tensile tests, Charpy V-Notch impact tests, and three-point bending （TPB） tests were performed at normal and low temperatures to investigate the through-thickness mechanical properties, impact and fraclure toughness of Q345B structural steel plates with thicknesses from 60 to 165 mm. The test specimens were mainly sampled along the through-thickness direction of the plate, but transverse specimens along the rolling direction were also involved. The ductility index （percentage reduction of area）, impact toughness index （Charpy impact energy）, and fracture toughness index （critical crack tip opening displacement （CTOD） values） all decrease as the temperature declines. All the mechanical properties and the impact and fracture toughness along the through-thickness direction are worse than those along the rolling direction. The results also offer experimental support for the determination of an evaluation indicator for structural steel thick plates with through-thickness characteristics.展开更多

The quality of production and deliver deadline will be influenced. Therefore, it is very significant to investigate the cause and control of transverse crack in repair welding. In this paper, both ends restraint crack experiment is developed to produce delay transverse crack for high strength steel. Metallographic results show that four types of cracks are found in repair welding metal zone and heat affected zone. Large chevron transverse cracks are found in repair welding zone. Lots of micro transverse cracks are found in inter-layer repair welding metal zone, root HAZ and two ends of repair welding individually. The distribution character and formation mechanism of the transverse crack are further analyzed through hardness testing and residual stress measurement.展开更多

The surface of solid steel plate was defatted, descaled, immersed (in K_2ZrF_6 fluxaqueous solution) and stoved. In order to determine the thickness of Fe-Al compound layer at theinterface of steel-aluminum solid to liquid bonding under rapid solidification, the interface ofbonding plate was investigated by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) experiment. The relationshipbetween bonding parameters (such as preheat temperature of steel plate, temperature of aluminumliquid and bonding time) and thickness of Fe-Al compound layer at the interface was established byartificial neural networks (ANN) perfectly. The maximum of relative error between the output and thedesired output of the ANN is only 5.4%. From the bonding parameters for the largest interfacialshear strength of bonding plate (226℃ for preheat temperature of steel plate, 723℃ for temperatureof aluminum liquid and 15.8 s for bonding time), the reasonable thickness of Fe-Al compound layer10.8 μm was got.展开更多
