TY - CONF A1 - Schroeder, Nina A1 - Rhode, Michael A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - Precipitation influence and thermodynamic prediction of HAZ properties of a GMAW S690QL with varying Ti and Nb contents N2 - For a significant increase in the strength of quenched and tempered, high-strength structural steels with a yield strength > 690 MPa, the addition of micro-alloying elements such as Nb and Ti is essential. The standard specifications for the chemical composition of these steels (e.g. in DIN EN 10025-6) often only specify limit contents for the manufacturer to achieve the specified properties. The effect of the alloying elements or their carbides and/or nitrides is sometimes completely contrary, especially in the case of dissolution and re-precipitation in the HAZ with identical filler metal. This makes it difficult to adequately predict the batch dependency regarding the weldability and the load-bearing behaviour of the welded joint. In addition, modern welding processes, such as GMAW with modified spray arc, can negatively influence the phase transformation in the heat-affected zone due to their high heat input. An undesirable property is the softening of the HAZ, as well as the opposite effect of hardening. Against this background, microalloying routes with varying Ti and Nb contents of the high-strength and quenched and tempered structural steel S690QL are systematically investigated within the framework of a DFG project. For this purpose, GMAW welding with modified spray arc is used, which is characterised by high deposition rate and allows narrower joint opening angles (α = 30°). The effect of metallurgical composition in combination with high heat exposure on the formation of a critical HAZ microstructure zone with softening and/or excessive hardening is investigated on these welds. Special attention is paid to the phase transformations and precipitation behaviour in the microstructure of the heat-affected zone and weld metal. In addition to extensive metallographic investigations of individual HAZ areas, thermodynamic phase calculations were carried out using ThermoCalc while varying the chemical composition. This provides an understanding of phase transformation and precipitation growth and dissolution during welding as a function of temperature and cooling conditions. The aim is to show the influence of the heat effect on the microstructure formation in the HAZ by means of initial investigations. Particular attention is paid here to the effect of the different microalloying concepts (Ti or Nb).

For that reason, Charpy tests were performed for the pure weld metal and different heat-affected zones. Thermodynamic phase field modeling showed the usefulness of calculations in Thermocalc to predict the preciptiation behavior and (finally) to conclude the mechanistic behavior of the welded joint.

Die Normvorgaben zur chemischen Zusammensetzung dieser Stähle (bspw. in DIN EN 10025-6) geben zur Erzielung der vorgeschriebenen Eigenschaften dabei oft nur Grenzgehalte für die Hersteller vor. Die Wirkung der Legierungselemente in der WEZ ist teilweise komplett konträr. Somit wird eine adäquate Vorhersage der Chargenabhängigkeit hinsichtlich der Schweißeignung und des Tragver-haltens der Schweißverbindung erschwert. Neben metallographischen Untersuchungen einzelner WEZ-Bereiche wurden unter Variation der chemischen Zusammensetzung, thermodynamische Phasenberech-nungen mittels ThermoCalc durchgeführt. Hierdurch wird ein Verständnis zur Phasentransformation, Aus-scheidungswachstum und -auflösung während des Schweißens in Abhängigkeit von Temperatur und Ab-kühlbedingungen geschaffen.
