dc.description.abstract |
Single and double cycle simulation techniques have been
employed to investigate the structure and properties of the
heat affected zone in HY-80 steel due to a single submerged
arc weld run and to the deposition of a tempering bead on a
pre-existing edge bead heat affected zone. The thermal cycles
used for simulation had peak temperatures of 1275°C, 930°C,
7650C and 6500C and corresponded to those experienced in the
parent material during the submerged arc welding of 1.5 in.
thick plate using a nominal heat input of 54kJ. in and a
preheat temperature of 120°C. Double cycling utilized specific
combinations of these thermal cycles. Half the total number of
simulated specimens received post cycle heat treatment at 650°C.
Charpy V-notch impact transition curves and tensile and hardness
data have been obtained for each condition studied and structural
examination has employed the carbon extraction replica technique
in the electron microscope. The results indicate that the
properties of the weld heat affected zone in HY-80 steel are
superior to those obtained for QT-35 steel but inferior to those
of the HY-80 parent material. The tempering bead technique has
been shown to have, at best, only a limited tempering effect on
the grain coarsened region of an edge bead heat affected zone and
can also cause an increase in the susceptibility of this region
to brittle fracture. Post weld heat treatment at 6500C is
recommended, wherever possible, for HY-80 weldments. The
calculation of weld heat affected zone thermal cycles, which
correlate well with the practical situation, has been made
possible by the development of a series of computer programs.
These programs include functions to account for the release of
latent heat from the solidifying weld pool and the variation of
thermal conductivity with temperature. |
