Effect of the Welding Thermal Cycles Based on Simulated Heat Affected Zone of S1300 Ultrahigh Strength Steel

Abstract:

In the automotive industry there is an increasing demand for the wider application of high strength steels due to their favourable mechanical properties. The steel producers continuously developing new generations of high strength steels to insure higher strength and toughness properties. Since in most cases these steels are joined in welded structures, great attention must be taken to their weldability. The weldability of high strength steels has still challenges which are as follows: cold cracking sensitivity; reduction of strength and toughness of heat affected zone (HAZ); filler metal selection. Because the mechanical properties of ultrahigh strength steels are provided by using various alloying elements, micro alloys, and by different metallurgical methods, the steels may lose their outstanding properties during welding. In real welded joints the critical parts of the HAZ have small extent so their properties can be limitedly analysed by conventional material testing methods. With the help of physical simulators, the different parts of the heat affected zone can be produced in an adequate size for subsequent tests. In our research work the weldability, especially the HAZ properties of an ultrahigh strength structural steel (R_p0.2= 1300 MPa) were investigated on thermal simulated samples with the help of Gleeble 3500 physical simulator. Three relevant technological variants for gas metal arc welding (GMAW), t_8/5= 5 s, 15 s and 30 s were applied during the HAZ simulations in the selected coarse-grained (CGHAZ), intercritical (ICHAZ) and intercritically reheated coarse-grained (ICCGHAZ) zones. Both the microstructure was studied by optical microscope and the mechanical properties were analysed by Vickers hardness tests and Charpy V-notch impact tests at -40 °C. According to the results the investigated ultrahigh strength steel was softened on account of the welding heat cycles, besides that the strength of the investigated ultrahigh strength steel can be better with the application of shorter t_8/5cooling time.
