An extended approach is used for the simulations, which considers the change of the local microstructure properties due to multiple reheating. Experimental material data obtained from physical welding simulations with GleebleĀ® are used for the model calibration. The experimental stress study is performed using a neutron diffraction method on a fourier stress diffractometer. Numerical analysis of the welding stresses formation in the weldment is performed and compared to the experimental study. The results explain the influence of the welding thermal history on the resulting local thermo-mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone and, thus, on the residual stress distribution. The consideration of the local microstructure properties in the welding simulation leads to a significant increase in accuracy of the numerical results. The major influence factor on the residual stress formation is the change in the interpass microstructure yield strength. When a root pass with short cooling times is subjected to re-austenitisation in the fine-grained zone, the yield strength increases in this area and affects consequently the residual stress distribution. The influence of the reheating is detectable in the depth of the weldment, but it is less significant for the residual stress formation near the surface of the welded joint.}, language = {en} } @misc{KaishevaBokuchavaPapushkinetal., author = {Kaisheva, Darina and Bokuchava, Gizo and Papushkin, Igor and Genchev, Gancho Vladimirov and Doynov, Nikolay and Ossenbrink, Ralf and Michailov, Vesselin and Petrov, Peter}, title = {Determination of residual stresses in fiber laser welded stainless steel joints by neutron diffraction method}, series = {Proc.

The technological parameters of the welding process were: laser power Q = 15 kW; laser spot size = 0.65 mm; welding speed V = 3 m/min; 4 m/min; 5 m/min, using 30 L/min of protective Ar gas. The neutron diffraction method was used to determine the residual stresses in the bulk of the material. The neutron experiments were performed on the FSD diffractometer at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research - Dubna, Russian Federation. The measured residual stress distributions exhibit maxima at weld seam centers. As expected, for all specimens the residual stress is falling down in regions distant from the weld zone. Maximal residual stress value of 492 MPa was observed for sample welded with speed of V = 5 m/min.}, language = {en} } @misc{BokuchavaPetrovGenchevetal., author = {Bokuchava, Gizo and Petrov, Peter and Genchev, Gancho Vladimirov and Michailov, Vesselin and Doynov, Nikolay and Ossenbrink, Ralf}, title = {Residual stress analysis in welded joints by neutron difffraction and comouter modeling}, series = {Romanian Journal of Physics}, volume = {Vol. 63}, journal = {Romanian Journal of Physics}, number = {7-8}, issn = {1221-146X}, pages = {16}, abstract = {Numerical models for thermo-mechanical simulation of the welding residual stresses in laser beam and multi-pass arc welded joints are developed.
