Ispitivanje zavarljivosti Äelika TStE 420 nakon simulacije toplinskog ciklusa zavarivanja
The paper presents a short description and overview of the weld thermal
cycle simulation methods. An experimental investigation on the weld cycle
simulated specimens is predicted by a plan of experiment using single cycle
simulation. The obtained hardness results are compared with double cycle
simulated specimens results of individual points in the heat-affected zone.
Beside that, the characteristic microstructures of points in the heat-affected
zone after a single weld thermal cycle simulation are given. A thermal
simulation method is suitable for different weldability examinations. In
this paper, the authors would like to investigate the maximal hardness of
individual points in the weld joint what is important when considering cold
cracking sensitivity.U radu se daje kratak opis i pregled metoda simulacije toplinskog ciklusa

PonaÅ”anje grubozrne zone utjecaja topline (ZUT) zavara tijekom cikliÄkog optereÄenja
This paper presents results of a study on martensitic coarse grain heat affected zone that can appear in welded joints. Mechanical properties of martensitic coarse grain heat affected zone and its microstructure were investigated. Special attention was given to its behaviour during the cycle loading under stress concentration. Stress concentration was similar to the one in real welds. The S-N curve and the fatigue limit were determined. The Paris curve and the threshold for crack propagating were also determined.U radu se istražuje martenzitna grubozrnata zona utjecaja topline koja se može pojaviti pri zavarivanju. Istražena su mehaniÄka svojstva i mikrostruktura ove zone. Posebna je pažnja posveÄena njenom ponaÅ”anju tijekom cikliÄkog optereÄenja kada je prisutna koncentracija naprezanja. Koncentracija naprezanja je sliÄna onoj kod realnog zavarivanja. OdreÄena je S-N krivulja i granica umaranja. TakoÄer je odreÄena i Parisova krivulja i prag propagacije pukotine
Fitting curves and impact toughness transition temperature of quenched and tempered steel welds
Welded products of quenched and tempered (QT) structural steels are used from ambient to moderately low design/service temperatures. Therefore, besides base metal, a weld also must possess required minimal design impact toughness (KV) at temperatures lower than transition temperature (TT), where the transition from ductile to brittle fracture occurs. A common way to determine transition temperature is by use of appropriate fitting curves, in accordance with specified standardised criterion. From the point of welding procedure evaluation, it is important to analyse welds for its impact toughness and transition temperature, particularly for three main zones: weld metal, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and base metal. This paper covers welds of two QT steel grades, 690 and 890, which are interesting regarding their yield strength and characteristic weld zones. Basic details of gas metal arc welding (GMAW, process used in this experiment) are provided, while temperatures for impact toughness tests of weld zones were varied from +20 Ā°C down to -60 Ā°C. Based on acquired experimental results of impact toughness, fitting curves were developed by use of Oldfield model, e.g. hyperbolic tangent function. Acquired transition temperatures (TT) from fitting curves show mostly allowable values for all three weld zones. As expected, lower strength grade 690 possess higher impact toughness, in comparison to higher strength grade 890. The standardized criteria of minimal absorbed energy of 30 J (KV) and 50 % of shear fracture (SF) show different transition temperatures (TT-30J and
TT-50%SF), while general dependence of impact toughness to shear fracture (KV vs. SF) shows a reasonable trend. Finally, used GMAW procedures may be considered as acceptable, since for both steel grades (690 and 890) all three weld zones show better TT-30J values than minimal required by standard (TT-30J=-40 Ā°C) for QT structural steels
HEAT AFFECTED ZONE MICROSTRUCTURE OF WELD JOINT PREPARATION IN ARTIFICIAL MANNER
This paper presents two possibilities of martensitic (fine grain and coarse grain) microstructure preparation. These microstructures are present as sub-zones in the heat-affected zone of welded joints, but due to the narrow region of HAZ in a real weld, only a few tests are possible to perform such as micro-hardness. Welding simulator and laboratory furnace were used as methods for the preparation of the specimens. The material used in this study was a Nickel Molybdenum alloy steel (18CrNiMo7-6). Investigation of the mechanical properties of sub-zones of the HAZ of this particular alloy steel, were done by applying proper thermal cycles. Hardness and diameter of grain size were measured, tensile strength is calculated and Charpy instrumented test of both microstructures were performed in room temperature. The difference in Impact toughness was remarkable due to the difference in microstructure, energy for initiation and propagation were calculated by comparing (F-t and E-t) diagrams for both microstructures. The study revealed that the preparation of specimens with microstructure as at welded condition is possible, and it could lead to prepare samples for investigation of other mechanical properties such as fatigue crack growth and fracture toughness test

Methodology of determination the influence of corrosion pit on decrease of hydro turbine shaft fatigue life
This paper describes the influence of corrosion on stress concentration factor and crack initiation at shaft flange transition section. The case study of hydraulic turbine shaft failure is used as the basis for this research. The quantification of the stress concentrators was accomplished by the usage of Theory of critical distances (TCD) in the prediction of high-cycle fatigue behavior in machine parts and systems. The stresses obtained by Finite Element Analysis, was used as an entry values for application of Theory of critical distances. The TCD represents a major extension of linear elastic fracture mechanics, allowing it to be used for short cracks as well as for stress concentrations of arbitrary geometry. Presented methodology is particular valid for machine parts of non-standard dimensions. The significance of results presented in this paper is that TCD and developed methodology can be used in preventing failures in power industry
Acceptability of Residual Stresses Measurement Methods of Butt Weldments and Repairs
The joints made by fusion of materials are exposed to the influence of
residual stresses induced by welding thermal cycles. Residual stresses
were measured on butt welded plates made of NIOMOL 490K, before and
after reparation. The objective of this paper is to compare three methods
of residual stress measurement (hole-drilling method, x-ray diffraction
and directional effective permeability) induced by two welding processes
(Submerge Arc Welding and Transferred Ionized Molten Energy) of V-butt
welded plates. The residual stresses values are higher after reparation than
before reparation of welded joints
