TY - GEN A1 - Schröder, Nina T1 - Influence of Microalloying on Precipitation Behavior and Notched Impact Strength of Welded High Strength Structural Steels N2 - Microalloying elements, such as Nb and Ti, are essential for significantly increasing the strength of quenched and tempered, high-strength structural steels with a nominal yield strength ≥ 690 MPa and their welded joints. The standard specifications (e.g., EN 10025-6) for the chemical composition are only tolerated limit contents within which the steel manufacturers operate. The standard composition, however, says nothing per se about the properties of the material. Even small deviations in the alloy route can have a drastic effect on the mechanical properties. This makes it difficult or even impossible to adequately predict the weldability and integrity of the welded joint. An undesirable side effect is the possible softening of the heat-affected zone (HAZ), as well as the opposite hardening.Mechanical-technological investigations of the notched impact strength confirm the results of the simulation regarding the development of different microalloy routes in the welded state. From this, the influence of the heat effect of welding on the microstructure formation in the HAZ and the corresponding mechanical properties can be described qualitatively.
