焊接工艺和热处理工艺对P91钢焊接接头残余应力的影响

the effects of welding parameters and postweld heat treatment on the residual stress distribution in p91 steel welded joints

  • 摘要: P91钢作为一种典型的新型马氏体耐热钢,因其较低的线膨胀系数和优异的高温抗蠕变性能,在核电领域主蒸汽及主给水回路中得到了广泛应用,相较于传统低合金高强钢具有明显优势。本文以Φ323.8 mm×25.4 mm规格的P91钢管为研究对象,采用GTAW(钨极氩弧焊)工艺进行打底焊接,并分别选用SMAW(手工电弧焊)、SAW(埋弧焊)以及GTAW(自动焊)三种工艺进行填充焊接。焊后对焊接接头分别施以300℃~350℃与740℃~760℃两种峰值温度的热处理,以消除残余应力。采用盲孔法测量热处理状态下焊接接头不同位置的残余应力,系统比较了不同焊接工艺及不同峰值温度热处理对P91钢焊接接头残余应力的影响规律。结果表明:GTAW+SMAW工艺的残余应力最高,GTAW+SAW次之,GTAW+ GTAW(自动焊)最低。同时,高温热处理残余应力降低效果显著低于低温热处理。研究结果为降低构件内部焊接残余应力、提升其服役寿命提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: P91 steel, as a typical new martensitic heat-resistant steel, has been widely used in nuclear power plants for main steam and main feedwater circuits due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent high-temperature creep resistance, demonstrating significant advantages over traditional low-alloy high-strength steels. This study focuses on P91 steel pipes with dimensions of Φ323.8 mm × 25.4 mm. The root welding was performed using the GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) process, while the filler welding was carried out using three different processes: SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), SAW (Submerged Arc Welding), and automated GTAW. Post-weld heat treatments were applied to the welded joints at two different peak temperature ranges—300°C–350°C and 740°C–760°C—to relieve residual stresses. The hole-drilling method was employed to measure the residual stresses at different locations of the welded joints under heat-treated conditions. A systematic comparison was conducted to analyze the influence of different welding processes and peak temperature heat treatments on the residual stresses in P91 steel welded joints. The results indicated that the GTAW+SMAW process combination resulted in the highest residual stresses, followed by GTAW+SAW, while GTAW+automated GTAW produced the lowest residual stresses. Additionally, the high-temperature heat treatment was significantly less effective in reducing residual stresses compared to the low-temperature heat treatment. The findings provide a theoretical basis for reducing internal welding residual stresses in components and enhancing their service life.
