Abstract:

In this research, two different filler metals, ERNiCrMo-3 and ER309L, were used for developing different microstructure, austenite (γ) and austenite and ferrite (γ+δ) in the weld metal and fatigue properties of welded samples were evaluated in the air and sea water environments. Microstructural studies indicated a good agreement between predicted microstructures via schiffler diagram and metallographic studies. Evaluation of fatigue properties in the air and sea water environments revealed the austenitic weld metal, like base metal microstructure, improved the fatigue strength of welded samples. Fractographic studies and FESEM-EDS analysis showed more ductile fracture of welded samples by using ERNiCrMo-3, formation of more uniform and deeper dimples in the final zone of fatigue fracture, than that of welded samples by using ER309L. Furthermore, unlike dimple formation centers in welded samples by using ER309L, Mo-Ti rich intermetallics caused formation of dimples in the welded sampled via ERNiCrMo-3.

Effect of nitriding temperature on the nanostructure and corrosion properties of Nickel coated 304 stainless steel

Nickel films of 150 nm thickness were deposited on 304 stainless steel and post annealed under flow of nitrogen at different temperatures. The prepared samples were corrosion tested in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution using potentiodynamic polarization technique. Crystallographic and morphological structure of the samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction XRD and atomic force microscopy AFM respectively b...

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Friction Welded Joint between X53CrMnNiN219 and X45CrSi93 Stainless Steel

Dissimilar metals friction welding of austenitic–martensitic stainless steels is commonly used in order to manufacture engine valves in the automobile industry. In this study, X53CrMnNiN219 (austenitic stainless steel) and X45CrSi93 (martensitic stainless steel) valve steel rods were welded by friction welding process. The welded joint was then heat treated at 760 0C for 60 min. Mechanical prop...

Fatigue Assessment of Complex Welded Steel Structures

To improve the usage of material in fatigue loaded complex welded structures a better calculation method (based on FEA) is needed than what is available on the market and an improved management of weld quality. Improved FE-procedures are directly applicable to design of generic structural components within virtually all industries using CAD and FEtools, irrespective of industrial sector. More a...
