焊接热循环对18CrNiMo焊接热影响区冲击韧度的影响

The Influence of Welding Thermal Cycles on the Impact Toughness of the Heat-Affected Zone in 18CrNiMo Steel

  • 摘要: 在桥梁钢结构焊接过程中,焊接热循环产生的温度效应是导致焊接接头热影响区微观组织不均质性的重要因素,进而可能引发钢结构的局部脆化和应力集中问题。本研究利用Gleeble试验机对焊接热循环进行了物理模拟,重点分析了峰值温度与冷却速率对桥梁用18CrNiMo钢母材热影响区的微观组织和冲击韧度的影响。研究结果显示,当焊接热循环的峰值温度超过950℃时,18CrNiMo钢在升温阶段会发生显著的奥氏体相变,且峰值温度的升高会导致热影响区材料的晶粒度明显粗化。而在焊接冷却阶段,当t8/5时间小于15s时,18CrNiMo钢中的马氏体含量增加,进而导致冲击韧度下降。基于上述分析结果,为有效避免18CrNiMo焊接钢结构出现局部脆化现象,需实施严格的焊接层间温度控制和焊后热处理措施。

     

    Abstract: During the welding process of bridge steel structures, the temperature effect generated by the welding thermal cycle is a crucial factor leading to microstructural inhomogeneity in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of welded joints, which may subsequently induce local embrittlement and stress concentration issues in steel structures. This study utilizes a Gleeble testing machine to physically simulate the welding thermal cycle, focusing on analyzing the influence of peak temperature and cooling rate on the microstructure and impact toughness of the HAZ of the base material, 18CrNiMo steel, used in bridges. The research results indicate that when the peak temperature of the welding thermal cycle exceeds 950°C, significant austenitic transformation occurs in 18CrNiMo steel during the heating stage, and an increase in peak temperature leads to significant grain coarsening in the HAZ material. During the welding cooling stage, when the t8/5 time is less than 15s, the martensite content in 18CrNiMo steel increases, resulting in a decrease in impact toughness. Based on the above analysis, to effectively avoid local embrittlement in welded steel structures of 18CrNiMo, strict interlayer temperature control during welding and post-weld heat treatment measures are necessary.
