Modelling Residual Stress and Phase Transformations in Steel Welds
نویسنده
چکیده
Mathematical modelling of welding phenomena is very complex: involving melt pool phenomena, solidification, weldability analysis, microstructure evolution in the heat affected zone, welding heat-flow simulation, electrical-thermal-mechanical simulation etc. Some interactions between these processes are included in Fig. 1. Each topic alone can be intellectually challenging and too hard to be investigated by classical methods. With the increasing power of modern computer systems, numerical modelling and especially finite element analyses make it possible to produce excellent solutions to satisfy engineering demands.

متن کاملNeutron Diffraction Evaluation of Near Surface Residual Stresses at Welds in 1300 MPa Yield Strength Steel
Evaluation of residual stress in the weld toe region is of critical importance. In this paper, the residual stress distribution both near the surface and in depth around the weld toe was investigated using neutron diffraction, complemented with X-ray diffraction. Measurements were done on a 1300 MPa yield strength steel welded using a Low Transformation Temperature (LTT) consumable. Near surfac...
متن کاملWelding residual stresses in ferritic power plant steels
Many of the degradation mechanisms relevant to power plant components can be exacerbated by stresses that reside within the material. Good design or structural integrity assessments require therefore, an accounting of residual stresses, which often are introduced during welding. To do this it is necessary to characterise the stresses, but this may not be possible in thick components using non-d...
متن کاملPossible Effects of Stress on Steel Weld Microstructures
Little is known about the effect of stress on the development of microstructure in steel welds. This paper contains an assessment of published data together with a description of the theory that is available for dealing with stress–affected transformations in steels. Attention is focused on those transformations which have the greatest potential for interaction with an externally applied stress...
متن کاملIn situ monitoring of weld transformations to control weld residual stresses
The level of residual stresses generated in fusion welds has been a major area of interest for many years. For steels, a major influence on the final state of stress is through martensitic transformation. This is because the martensitic transformation is accompanied by significant shear and volume strains. One way to mitigate the development of residual stress is by controlling the onset of the...
