Die experimentelle Spannungsanalyse dient einerseits zur Ermittlung von Materialeigenschaften, andererseits erlangt sie gerade für die wirtschaftliche Auslegung und die Integrität von geschweißten Komponenten zunehmend an Bedeutung.
Da die Höhe und Veränderung von Bauteilbeanspruchungen und deren Auswirkung auf die Sicherheit von einer Vielzahl und sich überlagernder werkstofflicher, mechanischer und thermischer Einflussfaktoren (Steifigkeitsverhältnisse, Fertigungsprozesse, Lastwechsel) abhängt, sind fertigungs- bzw. betriebsbegleitende Messungen von mechanisch und thermisch bedingten Dehnungen und daraus ermittelten Spannungen oftmals unumgänglich.
In geschweißten Komponenten sind oft komplexe Spannungs- bzw. Eigenspannungsverteilungen in den verschiedenen Raumrichtungen vorhanden. In Abhängigkeit vom anzusetzenden Tragfähigkeitsnachweis bzw. Berechnungskonzept des Tragwerkes sind sowohl experimentelle Methoden mit hoher Ortsauflösung (lokale Messungen) als auch mehrdimensionale Analysen über weite Bereiche des Bauteils (globale Messungen) von Dehnungen und Spannungen notwendig.
Results obtained from laboratory tests mostly need to be verified under fabrication conditions in order to incorporate design specifics (joint configuration and restraint), which effect the residual stress state considerably. For this purpose, multi-pass sub merged arc welding was performed in a special large-scale testing facility. The impact of varying interpass temperatures could be proven in-situ by means of a pronounced stress accumulation during welding and subsequent heat treatment accompanied by stress determination using X-ray diffraction.
Novel Low Transformation Temperature (LTT-) filler materials are specially designed for controlling residual stresses by means of adjusted martensite formation already during welding. Different alloying concepts compete for maximum stress reduction. Two newly developed LTT-alloys were evaluated concerning their potential for residual stress control. For this purpose residual stresses were determined in the surface and also in sub-surface areas of welded joints using X-ray diffraction and Neutron diffraction taking into account local variations of the unstrained lattice parameter.
Residual stress engineering in welding becomes more and more prominent as the use of tailored materials, e.g., high-strength steels, calls for maximum utilization of the material properties. As a consequence, residual stresses have to be considered as design criterion. Moreover, it may be utilized to improve the material's performance. Low transformation temperature alloys are a smart approach to control the residual stresses already during the welding process avoiding time-consuming postweld treatments. This paper gives an overview about the progress made in research in this topic with special focus on residual stresses. Basics as well as important developments will be addressed.
Today high-strength structural steels (yield strength ≥ 960 MPa) are increasingly applied. Therefore, weldments have to achieve equal strength. Yet, high residual stresses in those welds diminish the components safety. Especially high restraint intensities can lead to crack-critical stress-levels. A special 2-MN-test facility allowed online-measurements of global reaction forces under defined restraint conditions during welding and cooling of multilayer-component MAG-welds. Local residual stresses were measured via X-ray diffraction before and after relief of the restraint. Local and global stresses were highly affected by heat control.
Beside quenched and tempered (QT) high strength steels advanced technologies in steel manufacturing provide steels produced by the thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) with yield strength of 960 MPa. These steels differ in the carbon and micro-alloying element content. With variation of heat control TIG-welded dummy seams on both steel types were performed. Analyses concerning microstructure and residual stress evolution due to welding showed typical stress distributions according to common concepts. Yet, the TMCP-steel shows higher residual stresses than the QT-steel.
High strength structural steels are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. A critical combination of stress, amount of diffusible hydrogen and microstructure is believed to cause cold cracking. Especially during welding of high strength structural steels high tensile residual stresses may develop. Therefore, a feasibility study was conducted using synchrotron X-ray diffraction in order to analyze the stress–strain behavior during tensile loading. For that purpose two types of steel showing different hardening mechanisms were used. On the one hand a thermo-mechanically treated S1100MC and on the other hand a quenched and tempered S1300Q were chosen. The samples were electrochemically charged with hydrogen and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen to prevent effusion. Tensile tests of the samples were conducted in a special load frame allowing for tilting the samples while applying constant loads. High energy synchrotron radiation was used for energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analysis in transmission geometry. This method offers the possibility for measuring several diffraction lines of all contributing crystalline phases of the material. Strains as well as stresses applying the sin²ψ-method were determined for varying load situations. This feasibility study shows how the interaction of hydrogen and the stress/strain response may be assessed by diffraction methods. Examples are presented showing that hydrogen alters the load distribution as well as the strain behavior between different lattice planes in high strength steels.
