T1 - Assessment of the Solidification Cracking Susceptibility of Welding Consumables in the Varestraint Test by Means of an Extended Evaluation Methodology N2 - Various test methods are available for assessing the susceptibility of materials to solidification cracking during welding. In the widely used Varestraint test, the crack length is selected as a criterion as a function of the applied bending strain. Unfortunately, the crack length does not characterize the material behavior alone but depends to varying degrees on the individual test parameters used, which makes the interpretation of the results difficult. In addition, the crack length is not comparable under different test conditions. To overcome these disadvantages, we have developed a novel evaluation methodology that decouples the machine influence from the material behavior. The measured crack length is related to the maximum possible value specified by welding speed and deformation time. This relative crack length is calculated numerically, considering the orientation of the cracks. Experiments on two high-alloy martensitic welding consumables show that, in contrast to the conventional evaluation, a comparison of different welding parameters becomes possible. Furthermore, the strain rate proved to be a suitable crack criterion in agreement with Prokhorov's hot cracking model.

Several different high-alloyed martensitic LTT (low Transformation temperature) filler materials, CrNi and CrMn type, were selected for examination due to their rather distinctive solidification cracking behaviour, which aroused interest after previous studies. First, the effects of different process parameter sets on the solidification cracking response were measured using standard approaches. Subsequently, microfocus X-ray computer tomography (μCT) scans were performed on the specimens. The results consistently show sub-surface cracking to significant yet varying extents. Different primary solidification types were found using wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) analysis conducted on filler metals with varying Cr/Ni equivalent ratios. This aspect is regarded as the main difference between the CrNiand CrMn-type materials in matters of cracking characteristics. Results show that when it comes to testing of modern highperformance alloys, one set of standard Varestraint testing parameters might not be equally suitable for all materials. Also, to properly accommodate different solidification types, sub-surface cracking has to be taken into account.

The result of such tests is a crack length which is proportional to the material’s cracking susceptibility. Nevertheless, the welding and load parameters can unintentionally influence the crack length, which in some cases can distort the material evaluation. An approach is described as to how these effects can be assessed with the aid of a digital crack analysis. The crack lengths are compared position-dependently with their possible propagation due to the weld pool movement during continuous loading. The index derived from this can be used by the operator to evaluate his test parameters. In addition, a comparison of the results of different Varestraint setups is made possible. Alongside experimental results, a numerical sensitivity analysis is presented on how individual welding and loading parameters can affect the crack lengths.

However, the localized heat input and the layer-wise manufacturing manner give rise to large thermal gradients. Therefore, large internal stress (IS) during the process (and consequently residual stress (RS) at the end of production) is generated within the parts. This IS or RS can either lead to distortion or cracking during fabrication or in-service part failure, respectively. With this in view, the knowledge on the magnitude and spatial distribution of RS is important to develop strategies for its mitigation. Specifically, diffraction-based methods allow the spatial resolved determination of RS in a non-destructive fashion. In this review, common diffraction-based methods to determine RS in laser-based additive manufactured parts are presented. In fact, the unique microstructures and textures associated to laser-based additive manufacturing processes pose metrological challenges. Based on the literature review, it is recommended to (a) use mechanically relaxed samples measured in several orientations as appropriate strain-free lattice spacing, instead of powder, (b) consider that an appropriate grain-interaction model to calculate diffraction-elastic constants is both material- and texture-dependent and may differ from the conventionally manufactured variant. Further metrological challenges are critically reviewed and future demands in this research field are discussed.

Ein Beispiel ist der an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung entwickelte und angewendete Modifizierte Varestraint-/Transvarestraint-Test (MVT), der eine von vielen Umsetzungen des Varestraint-Verfahrensprinzips darstellt. Hierbei werden durch Biegung während des Schweißens gezielt Erstarrungsrisse erzeugt und anschließend lichtmikroskopisch vermessen. Die Ergebnisse von Varestraint-Prüfungen charakterisieren jedoch nicht allein das Werkstoffverhalten, sondern sind in hohem Maße von der Konstruktion der jeweiligen Prüfmaschine sowie den verwendeten Prüfparametern abhängig. Dies erschwert die Vergleichbarkeit von Ergebnissen, welche nicht unter exakt identischen Bedingungen ermittelt wurden, und kann darüber hinaus zu einer ungenauen oder unvollständigen Bewertung des Werkstoffverhaltens führen. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich zunächst der detaillierten Ausgestaltung der geometrischen Zusammenhänge rund um die Ausbreitung von Erstarrungsrissen während der Varestraint-Prüfung. Mit Blick auf Prokhorovs Technological Strength Theory und die sich daraus ergebenden erstarrungsrisskritischen Temperaturen wird anschließend eruiert, wie aus den Anfangs- und Endkoordinaten der entstandenen Risse auf das charakteristische Erstarrungsrissverhalten geschlossen werden kann. Die daraus entwickelte Bewertung der Rissanfälligkeit ist weitestgehend von den Prüfparametern und weiteren verfahrensspezifischen Einflüssen entkoppelt, wodurch eine deutlich bessere Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse gewährleistet ist. Zur Erprobung der neu entwickelten Bewertungsansätze wurden zunächst MVT-Prüfungen an mehreren hochlegierten, martensitischen Schweißzusatzwerkstoffen, sowie am Nickelbasiswerkstoff Alloy 602 CA durchgeführt. So konnten einerseits verschiedene Legierungen hinsichtlich ihres Erstarrungsrissverhaltens charakterisiert und Empfehlungen für die schweißtechnische Fertigung generiert werden. Zum anderen dienten die Proben zur vollständigen Konzipierung, Entwicklung und Validierung einer digitalen Auswertemethodik. Die eigens programmierte Software ermöglicht die schnelle und praxisgerechte Auswertung von MVT-Proben, und implementiert dabei zusätzlich die zuvor entwickelten, prozessunabhängigen Bewertungsansätze. Als Ergebnis konnten kritische Dehnraten identifiziert werden,ab deren Überschreitung die betrachteten Werkstoffe unter den verwendeten Prüfbedingungen gesteigerte Erstarrungsrissanfälligkeiten aufweisen. So ergibt sich ein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen MVT-Prüfergebnissen und der Technological Strength Theory von Prokhorov. Die Bewertung des Werkstoffverhaltens anhand der kritischen Dehnraten erwies sich gegenüber den üblicherweise betrachteten Gesamtrisslängen als deutlich zuverlässiger. Zusammenfassend konnte gezeigt werden, dass die digitale Auswertung eine sinnvolle Verbesserung der analogen Standardauswertung darstellt. N2 - A multitude of testing procedures exist for the assessment of the solidification cracking susceptibilities of metal alloys. Many of these tests are only standardised on a very basic level. This also applies to the Modified Varestraint-/Transvarestraint Test (MVT), which was developed at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and is one of many variants of the original Varestraint test. Its functional principle is the bending of flat specimens during welding. Any solidification cracks formed during the procedure are quantified in a later step using optical light microscopy. However, the test results don’t exclusively characterise the analysed material, but also greatly depend on the design of the testing rig, as well as the applied testing parameters. This complicates the comparison of results obtained under different circumstances, and furthermore can lead to an inaccurate or insufficient assessment of the material characteristics. The present work elaborates the geometrical aspects of solidification crack initiation and propagation during Varestraint testing. Applying Prokhorov’s Technological Strength Theory and the ensuing Brittleness Temperature Range, it is then determined how the start and end points of solidification cracks can be used to characterise the materials solidification cracking susceptibility. Ultimately, these insights are developed into a standard of evaluation which aims to eliminate the influence of testing parameters and characteristics, helping to greatly improve the comparability of Varestraint testing results. To test the newly developed standard of evaluation, MVT tests were carried out on several high-alloyed martensitic steels, as well as on the nickel-based Alloy 602 CA. On the one hand, the obtained results provide detailed characterisations of the solidification cracking susceptibilities of different materials as well as guidelines for their use in welding processes. On the other hand, the specimens were used for conception and validation of a novel, digital examination procedure. The software developed for this purpose allows for fast and practice-oriented examination of MVT specimens. At the same time, the new software implements the previously developed standard of evaluation to eliminate the influence of testing parameters. As a result, critical strain rates could be identified, which indicate the transition towards increased solidification cracking susceptibility under the respective circumstances. In this way, a direct connection between MVT test results and Prokhorov’s Technological Strength Theory can be drawn. Compared to the Total Crack Length, which is usually given as a test result, critical strain rates were found to be a more reliable characteristic. In summary, the newly developed procedures were proven to be a meaningful improvement of the current, analogue standard procedure.

The present study was conducted to further investigate the influences of the standardised MVT testing parameters, as well as the characteristics of evaluation methods on the results. Several different high alloyed martensitic LTT (low transformation temperature) filler materials, CrNi and CrMn type, were used.

During testing, energy input per unit length and bending speed were varied (especially the latter is usually kept at standard values), in addition to the most commonly altered factor - total deformation. First, the effects of different process parameter sets on the solidification cracking response were measured using the standard approach - microscopic analysis of the specimen surface. It was found that not all parameter changes had the expected outcome. For the Cr8Ni6 and Cr11Mn5 filler materials, influences of energy input per unit length and welding speed were in direct opposition. In order to investigate those apparent contradictions, µCT scans of MVT specimens were made. The results consistently show sub surface cracking, to significant, yet varying extents.

T1 - Solidification Cracking Assessment of LTT Filler Materials by Means of Varestraint Testing and μCT N2 - Investigations of the weldability of metals often deal with hot cracking, as one of the most dreaded imperfections during weld fabrication. The hot cracking investigations presented in this paper were carried out as part of a study on the development of low transformation temperature (LTT) weld filler materials. These alloys allow to mitigate tensile residual stresses that usually arise during welding using conventional weld filler materials. By this means, higher fatigue strength and higher lifetimes of the weld can be achieved. However, LTT weld filler materials are for example, high-alloyed Cr/Ni steels that are susceptible to the formation of hot cracks. To assess hot cracking, we applied the standardized modified varestraint transvarestraint hot cracking test (MVT), which is well appropriate to evaluate different base or filler materials with regard to their hot cracking susceptibility. In order to consider the complete material volume for the assessment of hot cracking, we additionally applied microfocus X-ray computer tomography (μCT). It is shown that by a suitable selection of welding and MVT parameter the analysis of the complete 3D hot crack network can provide additional information with regard to the hot cracking model following Prokhorov. It is now possible to determine easy accessible substitute values (e.g., maximum crack depth) for the extent of the Brittleness Temperature Range (BTR) and the minimum critical strain Pmin.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - Triaxial Residual Stress in Laser Powder Bed Fused 316L: Effects of Interlayer Time and Scanning Velocity N2 - The triaxial distribution of the residual stress in laser powder bed fused austenitic steel 316L was determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction. The residual stress analysis results were linked to the thermal history of the specimens, which were manufactured with varying inter-layer-times and scanning velocities. A clear link between the in-process temperature of the specimens and the residual stress was found, based on in-situ monitoring data.
