Effect of cooling rate on microstructure and properties of microalloyed HSLA steel weld metals
(2015)
Two high strength Nb/Ti microalloyed S690QL steels were welded with identical filler material, varying welding parameters to obtain three cooling rates: slow, medium and fast cooling. As cooling rate increased, the predominantly acicular ferrite in Nb weld metal (WM) is substituted by bainite, with a consequence of obvious hardness increase, but in Ti WM, no great variation of acicular ferrite at all cooling rates contributed to little increment of hardness. The transition between bainite and acicular ferrite has been analysed from the point view of inclusions characteristics, chemical composition and cooling rate. Excellent Charpy toughness at 233 K was obtained with acicular ferrite as predominantly microstructure. Even with bainite weld of high hardness, the toughness was nearly enough to fulfill the minimal requirements. WM for Ti steel showed to be markedly less sensitive to the variations of cooling rate than that for Nb steel.
Offshore wind turbines (OWT) are a major goal of the energy strategy of Germany encompassing the increase of the installed wind power. OWT components are manufactured from welded steel plates with thicknesses up to 200 mm. The underlying standards and technical recommendations for construction of OWTs encompass specifications of so-called minimum waiting time (MWT) before non-destructive testing of the weld joints is allowed. Reason is the increased risk of time-delayed hydrogen assisted cold cracking as hydrogen diffusion is very slow due to the very thick plates. The strict consideration of those long MWT up to 48 h during the construction of OWTs leads to significant financial burden (like disproportionately high costs for installer ships as well as storage problems (onshore)). In this study, weld joints made of S355 ML were examined in comparison with the offshore steel grade S460 G2+M. The aim was to optimize, i.e., reduce, the MWT before NDT considering varied heat input, hydrogen concentration and using self-restraint weld tests. This would significantly reduce the manufacturing time and costs of OWT construction. To quantify the necessary delay time until hydrogen-assisted cold cracks appear, acoustic emission analysis was applied directly after welding for at least 48 h.
Laboratory experiments on press hardened steels in different delivered states exposed to hydrogen
(2015)
The legal and economical demands in the automotive industry lead to increasing efforts reducing the CO2 emissions. A way to achieve that goal is to reduce the total weight of the car and therefore the fuel consumption. With the application of high strength steels in car body manufacturing it is possible to decrease the sheet thickness of the used materials and therefore the weight of the automobile. Components made of high strength steels can be produced by cold forming as well as by hot forming. In high strength steel the hydrogen content plays a crucial role for the component behavior. It is known that the hydrogen diffusivity and solubility are based on several factors, for example increasing dislocation density by cold working processes, vacancies, chemical composition and grain boundaries. The understanding and the control of the interaction between hydrogen and the high strength press hardened steels is an important factor for the application of the materials. The scope of this work is the determination of hydrogen diffusion and permeability kinetics in press hardened steel samples. An electrochemical hydrogen permeation method was applied on boron-manganese steel grades with different rolling reduction in initial ferrite/pearlite matrix as well as for the as-quenched martensite microstructure. The diffusible hydrogen contents of the specimens were measured using the carrier gas hot extraction technique (CGHE).
Hydrogen can have an extreme degradation effects in steels, particularly concerning the mechanical properties. These effects can lead to hydrogen-assisted cracking in microalloyed high-strength steels during fabrication and/or operation in industrial applications. In order to study these effects, electrochemically charged tensile specimens were tested to elucidate the degradation of their properties. The carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE) method, which functionally combines a mass spectrometer with a thermal desorption analysis (TDA) process, was used for the detection of ultra-low diffusible hydrogen concentrations in the material specimens. The mass spectrometer provided rapid and automatic determination of hydrogen concentration, whereas the TDA presented the activation energy within the respective test specimen at the specific temperature. Additionally, specimen temperature was carefully monitored to reduce the evaluation error for local effusion peaks. A quenching and deformation dilatometer was used for the analysis of typical heat-affected zones during the welding process for a high reproducibility of the homogenous microstructures that were studied. The present work shows the interaction between hydrogen and lattice defects in different microalloyed materials and heat-affected zones of weldable fine-grained steels. These steels were prepared in a quenched and tempered condition and in a thermo-mechanically rolled condition. These preparations were made according to German standard DIN EN 10025-6 and to DIN EN 10149-2, respectively. The trapping characteristics of two steel grades, S690QL and S700MC, were studied with respect to the activation energy dependent on carbon content and microalloying elements such as Ti, Nb, Mo, Cr, and V. The two steel grades exhibited several types of traps: carbide formations, dislocations, and/or grain boundaries were common, which can influence activation energy and hydrogen solubility. The type and dimension of inclusions or particles also affected the hydrogen trapping behavior. A decrease of carbon and specific alloying elements in thermo-mechanically hot rolled steels led to a change in the activation energy binding the trapped hydrogen. This thermo-mechanically hot rolled steel revealed an increased interaction between hydrogen and precipitations. The higher carbon content in the quenched and tempered steel led to a higher interaction between hydrogen and iron carbide, specifically in the martensitic phase. Furthermore, the trapping behavior in heat-affected zones showed a significant increase in activation energy, especially in the coarse-grained microstructure. These previously mentioned various effects were studied to better understand the degradation of mechanical properties in these two steels.
Quantitative investigations of hydrogen dependent properties of aircraft landing gear materials have only scarcely been carried out in the past. They are essential for respective component life time assessments. To better understand the behavior of these landing gear materials in a hydrogen rich environment, specimens were charged in the condition as delivered with known concentrations of hydrogen and then mechanically tested to evaluate the degradation effects. The present contribution is focused on evaluating the hydrogen concentration dependent material properties and the respective fracture topographies of the two investigated steels, and then continued by the comparison of the results with other previously investigated martensitic steels in order to better understand the thresholds for these materials to maintain structural integrity.
For higher operational temperatures and pressures required in petrochemical plants, the modified 13CrMoV9-10 steel was developed providing high resistance against creep and compressed hydrogen. Extreme care during the welding procedure is necessary for this steel, attributed to low toughness, high strength in as-welded state, and increased susceptibility to stress relief cracking (SRC) during post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). Previous research of SRC in creep-resistant steels discussed mainly thermal and metallurgical factors. Few previous findings addressed the influences of welding procedure on crack formation during PWHT considering real-life manufacturing conditions. These investigations focus on effects of welding heat control on stresses during welding and subsequent PWHT operations close to realistic restraint and heat dissipation conditions using a special 3D testing facility, which was presented in parts I and II of this contribution. Part III addresses investigations on residual stress evolution affecting crack formation and discusses the transferability of results from large-scale testing to laboratory-scale. Experiments with test set-ups at different scales under diverse rigidity conditions and an assessment of the residual stresses of the weld-specimens using X-ray (surface near) and neutron diffraction analysis (bulk) were performed. This study aims to provide a way of investigating the SRC behaviour considering component-specific residual stresses via small-scale testing concepts instead of expensive weld mock-ups.
Für eine signifikante Festigkeitssteigerung von vergüteten, hochfesten Feinkornbaustählen mit einer Nominalstreckgrenze ≥ 690 MPa, ist die Zugabe von Mikrolegierungselementen, wie Nb und Ti, unerlässlich. 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 Tragverhaltens der Schweißverbindung erschwert. Neben metallographischen Untersuchungen einzelner WEZ-Bereiche wurden unter Variation der chemischen Zusammensetzung, thermodynamische Phasenberechnungen mittels ThermoCalc durchgeführt. Hierdurch wird ein Verständnis zur Phasentransformation, Ausscheidungswachstum und -auflösung während des Schweißens in Abhängigkeit von Temperatur und Abkühlbedingungen geschaffen.

Somit wird eine adäquate Vorhersage der Chargenabhängigkeit hinsichtlich der Schweißeignung und des Tragverhaltens der Schweißverbindung erschwert. Zuzüglich können moderne Schweißprozesse, wie MSG mit modifiziertem Sprühlichtbogen (mod. SLB) durch ihre hohe Wärmeeinwirkung die Phasenumwandlung in der Wärmeeinflusszone negativ beeinflussen. Eine unerwünschte Eigenschaft ist dabei die Erweichung (engl.: softening) der WEZ, wie auch u.U. der gegenteilige Effekt der Aufhärtung (engl.: hardening). Vor diesem Hintergrund werden im Rahmen eines DFG-Vorhabens systematisch Mikrolegierungsrouten mit variierenden Ti- und Nb-Gehalten des hochfesten und vergüteten Feinkornbaustahls S690QL untersucht. Dazu wird das MAGSchweißen mit mod. SLB verwendet, welches durch hohe Abschmelzleistung gekennzeichnet ist und schmalere Fugenöffnungswinkel (α = 30°) ermöglicht. An diesen Schweißungen wird der Effekt der metallurgischen Zusammensetzung in Kombination mit hoher Wärmeeinwirkung auf die Ausbildung einer kritischen WEZ-Gefügezone mit Erweichung und/oder exzessiver Aufhärtung untersucht. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die Phasenumwandlungen und das Ausscheidungsverhalten im Gefüge der Wärmeeinflusszone gelegt. Neben umfangreichen metallographischen Untersuchungen einzelner WEZ-Bereiche wurden, unter Variation der chemischen Zusammensetzung, thermodynamische Phasenberechnungen mittels ThermoCalc durchgeführt. Hierdurch wird ein Verständnis zur Phasentransformation und Ausscheidungswachstum und -auflösung während des Schweißens in Abhängigkeit von Temperatur und Abkühlbedingungen geschaffen. Das Ziel ist es, mittels erster Untersuchungen den Einfluss der Wärmeeinwirkung auf die Gefügeausbildung in der WEZ zu zeigen. Insbesondere wird hier auf die Auswirkung der unterschiedlichen Mikrolegierungskonzepte (Ti oder Nb) geachtet.
For a significant increase in the strength of high-strength fine-grained structural steels with a nominal yield strength ≥690 MPa, the addition of microalloying elements such as Nb and Ti is required. The standard specifications for the chemical composition of these steels (e.g., in EN 10025-6) often only give the manufacturer limit contents to achieve the defined properties. The effect of the alloying elements in the heat affected zone (HAZ) is sometimes completely contrary.
This makes it difficult to adequately predict the batch dependency regarding weldability and the load-bearing behaviour of the welded joint. Three different micro-alloyed steels of the grade S690QL were produced on a laboratory scale, focusing on different Nb and Ti contents. To investigate the tempering effect, these were gas metal arc welded in three layers. In addition to metallographic investigations of individual HAZ areas, thermodynamic phase calculations were carried out using Thermo-Calc, following variations in the chemical composition. This provides an understanding of phase transformation, precipitation growth, and dissolution during welding as a function of temperature and cooling conditions. The results show
a divergent metallurgical behaviour in the HAZ of the three different micro-alloyed steels. Thereby, the Ti micro-alloyed grade showed a strong softening of the HAZ in contrast to the Nb micro-alloyed grade. This can be attributed to a contrary precipitation behaviour during welding.

Mikrolegierungselemente, wie Nb und Ti, sind für die signifikante Festigkeitssteigerung von vergüteten, hochfesten Feinkornbaustählen mit einer Nominalstreckgrenze ≥ 690 MPa unerlässlich. Normvorgaben zur chemischen Zusammensetzung geben dabei nur obere Grenzwerte für die Hersteller vor. Weiterhin wirken sich bereits kleine Abweichungen in der Legierungsroute teilweise drastisch auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften aus. Somit wird eine adäquate Vorhersage der Schweißeignung und der Integrität der Schweißverbindung aufgrund der variierenden Mikrogefüge erschwert bis unmöglich. Unerwünschte Nebeneffekte sind die mögliche Erweichung der Wärmeeinflusszone (WEZ) als auch der gegenteilige Effekt der Aufhärtung. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden erstmals systematisch die unterschiedlichen Mikrolegierungsrouten mit variierenden Ti und Nb-Gehalten an Versuchsschmelzen untersucht. Die Stahlgüte S690QL bildet dabei die Grundlage der chemischen Zusammensetzung sowie der entsprechenden Wärmebehandlung. Zur Untersuchung der jeweiligen Schweißeignung wurden Dreilagen-Schweißungen mittels moderner MAG-Hochleistungsschweißprozesse durchgeführt und kritische Gefügebereiche mit hoher Erweichung/Aufhärtung identifiziert. Der Fokus der analytischen Betrachtungen lag hier auf der Identifikation der Phasenumwandlungen beim Abkühlen und auf dem metallurgischen Ausscheidungsverhalten. Zusätzlich wurden isotherme und nicht-isotherme Phasenberechnungen mit der Software Thermo-Calc durchgeführt. Mechanisch-technologische Untersuchungen zur Kerbschlagzähigkeit mittels Kerbschlagbiegeversuchen durchgeführt wurden, bestätigen dabei die Ergebnisse der thermodynamischen Simulation bezüglich des Ausscheidungsverhaltens während der Temperatur-Zeit Schweißzyklen. Daraus lässt sich der Einfluss der Wärmeeinwirkung beim Schweißen auf die Gefügeausbildung in der WEZ und der korrespondierenden mechanischen Eigenschaften qualitativ beschreiben.
Multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) encompass the well-known high entropy alloys (HEAs). MPEA/HEA represent a new class of materials consisting of at least three alloying elements, each containing 5 to 35 at.-%. This alloying concept thus differs fundamentally from conventional materials such as steel or nickel alloys. For this purpose, the alloying elements are specifically selected, and the microstructures are adjusted in a single-phase and, in some cases, multi-phase manner. In particular, conflicting goals, such as the trade-off between strength and ductility in conventional steels, are overcome. In the last 20 years, however, the focus has been on material synthesis. With the increase in available material quantities, the focus is now on pro-cessing issues such as joining and welding processes. The weldability of MPEA has received very little atten-tion so far. Experience with dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) is completely lacking but is essential for the appli-cation of these materials in combination with conventional materials. The present study presents, comprehen-sive experimental results on the weldability of MPEA-DMWs. For that purpose, a Co20Cr20Fe20Mn20Ni20 HEA in cold-rolled and heat-treated condition was joined by means of tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) with the austenitic Cr-Ni steel AISI 304. The DMWs resulted in interesting mechanical properties. They were obtained by instrumented tensile tests as well as the local deformation in the weld area by using digital image correlation (DIC) technique. A significant softening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the MPEAs as well as a slightly reduced tensile strength with a significant decrease of the elongation at fracture were found. The experiments provided proof in principle of the weldability of the MPEAs for DMWs with conventional materials that ensure a corresponding capability for mechanical loading. This allows further considerations on the application of these innovative materials.

High-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steels with yield strength ≥ 690 MPa have increasing importance in steel construction and civil engineering. However, weld processing of those steels is a major challenge. The susceptibility for degradation of mechanical properties of weld joints significantly increases in presence of hydrogen and can result in hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC). Generally, risk for HAC increases with increasing yield strength of HSLA steels. To minimize the incidence of HAC, it is essential to gain knowledge about both the (1) absorbed hydrogen amount and its distribution in the weld seam and (2) options to lower
the amount of introduced hydrogen. Existing standards recommend heat treatment procedures (interpass temperature or post weld heat treatment) to reduce the diffusible hydrogen concentration in weldments. In this context, different weld seam geometries should be considered. For HSLA steel fabrication weld processing with seam opening angles of 45° to 60° is typical. Modern weld technologies allow welding with seam opening angles of 30° - reduced welding time and costs. In the present study, the hydrogen distribution in multi-layer welds of a 960 MPa HSLA steel was analysed. Influence of different seam opening angles as well as heat input, interpass temperature and post weld heat treatments were investigated. The welded samples were quenched in ice water immediately after welding and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen. After defined warming up, small specimens were machined from the weld seam by water jet cutting. The diffusible hydrogen concentration was measured by carrier gas hot extraction with coupled mass spectrometer. The results showed, that low heat input and post weld heat treatment procedures can lower hydrogen concentrations in welds. Furthermore, a gradient of the hydrogen concentration was
identified with increasing weld pool depth. By varying the seam opening angles different hydrogen concentrations were
measured.
High-strength structural steels are used in machine, steel, and crane construction with yield strength up to 960 MPa. However, welding of these steels requires profound knowledge of three factors in terms of avoidance of hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC): the interaction of microstructure, local stress/strain, and local hydrogen concentration. In addition to the three main factors, the used arc process is also important for the performance of the welded joint. In the past, the conventional transitional arc process (Conv. A) was mainly used for welding of high-strength steel grades. In the past decade, the so-called modified spray arc process (Mod. SA) has been increasingly used for welding production. This modified process enables reduced seam opening angles with increased deposition rates compared with the Conv. A. Economic benefits of using this arc type are a reduction of necessary weld beads and required filler material. In the present study, the susceptibility to HAC in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the high-strength structural steel S960QL was investigated with the externally loaded implant test. For that purpose, both Conv. A and Mod. SA were used with same heat input at different deposition rates. Both conducted test series showed same embrittlement index “EI” of 0.21 at diffusible hydrogen concentrations of 1.3 to 1.6 ml/100 g of arc weld metal. The fracture occurred in the HAZ or in the weld metal (WM). However, the test series withMod. SA showed a significant extension of the time to failure of several hours compared with tests carried out with Conv. A.
High-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steels with yield strength ≥ 690 MPa are gaining popularity in civil engineering and construction of heavy vehicles. With increasing yield strength, the susceptibility for degradation of the mechanical properties in the presence of diffusible hydrogen, i.e., hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC), generally increases. HAC is a result of the critical interaction between local microstructure, mechanical load, and hydrogen concentration. In existing standards for welding of HSLA-steels, recommendations including working temperatures and dehydrogenation heat treatment (DHT) are given to Limit the amount of introduced hydrogen during welding. These recommendations are based on investigations into conventional arc welding processes. In the past decade, modern weld technologies were developed to enable welding of narrower weld seams with V-grooves of 30°, e.g., the modified spray arc process. In that connection, a reduced number of weld runs and weld volume are important technical and, economic benefits. In the present study, the hydrogen distribution in S960QL multi-layer welds with thickness of 20 mm was analyzed. The influence of different weld seam opening angles, heat input, working temperature and DHT were investigated. The results show that weldments with narrow grooves contained an increased amount of diffusible hydrogen. Hydrogen concentration has been reduced by decreasing both the heat input and working temperature. Hydrogen-free weldments were only achieved via subsequent DHT after welding. Furthermore, hydrogen distribution was experimentally determined across the weld seam thickness in HSLA gas metal arc welded multi-layer welds for the first time.
In order to satisfy the growing requirements towards lightweight design and resource efficiency in modern steel constructions, e.g., mobile cranes and bridges, high-strength steels with typical yield strength ≥ 690 MPa are coming into use to an increasing extent. However, these steels require special treatment in welding. The susceptibility for degradation of the mechanical properties
in the presence of hydrogen increases significantly with increasing yield strength. In case of missing knowledge about how and the amount of hydrogen that is uptaken during welding, hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) can be a negative consequence.
Moreover, modern weld technology like the modified spray arc process enables welding of narrower weld seams. In this context,
a reduced number of weld beads, volume, and total heat input are technical and economical benefits. This work presents the influence of welding parameters on the diffusible hydrogen content in both (1) single-pass and (2) multi-layer welds. Different
hydrogen concentrations were detected by varied contact tube distance, wire feed speed, arc length, and varied arc type (transitional
arc and modified spray arc). The results show that all welding parameters have significant influence on the diffusible hydrogen concentration in the single-pass welds. By increasing the number of weld beads in case of multi-layer welding, the
hydrogen concentration has been reduced. Whereby, differences in hydrogen concentrations between both arc types are present.

Carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE) technique was used for measurement of hydrogen in press-hardened (and as delivered) condition of 22MnB5 steel primarily coated with a thin layer of Al–Si. The CGHE technique was applied using different temperature programs: isothermal heating, temperature step, and linear heating in solid state. The effusing hydrogen was measured using thermal conductivity device (TCD) and high resolution mass spectroscopy (MS). Single isothermal heating at 400 and 900 °C allowed determining absolute value of effusing hydrogen. The linear heating, also known as thermal desorption analysis (TDA), revealed temperature dependent hydrogen effusion peaks. The deconvolution of the TDA spectra by peak fitting allowed the calculation of hydrogen desorption energies for each peak. The results showed good agreement between hydrogen concentrations measured with MS and TCD. In addition, the as-received ferrite-perlite microstructure showed only hydrogen effusion above 400 °C. The subsequent press hardening process leads to hydrogen uptake in the microstructure. In general, the press-hardened 22MnB5 revealed a hydrogen concentration of 0.4 to 0.5 ppm. The biggest concentration was released at isothermal holding at 400 °C indicating reversibly trapped hydrogen. TDA results with different heating rates confirmed mostly diffusible and reversible trapped hydrogen due to calculated activation energies in the range from 4 to 20 kJ mol-1; it was ascertained that nearly 90 % of the hydrogen left the specimens below 400 °C. Melt extraction (ME) was performed to measure the total hydrogen amount (including the diffusible and trapped hydrogen) and showed that above 900 °C up to 1 ppm hydrogen is trapped.
Hoch- und Mittelentropie-Legierungen (engl. High/Medium Entropy Alloys–HEA/MEA) sind relativ neue Werkstoffklassen. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Le-gierungen bestehen HEA aus fünf bzw. MEA aus drei oder vier Legierungselementen im äquiatomaren Gleichgewicht. Viele HEA weisen aufgrund hervorragender struktu-reller Eigenschaftskombinationen von sehr tiefen bis zu hohen Temperaturen enor-mes Anwendungspotential auf. Die Anwendung für reale Bauteile stellt jedoch die zentrale Frage der Eignung für die fügetechnische Verarbeitung. Dieser Aspekt findet in der weltweiten Materialforschung bisher kaum Beachtung. Anforderungen an die zuverlässige und sichere fügetechnische Verarbeitung dieser Werkstoffe sind von wesentlicher Bedeutung hinsichtlich wirtschaftlicher Bauteilfertigung für spätere po-tenzielle Anwendungsbereiche, bspw. in der Energietechnik. Das Rührreibschweißen (engl. Friction Stir Welding–FSW) stellt hierbei einen vielversprechenden Fügepro-zess dar, dessen Hauptvorteil in der Schweißprozesstemperatur unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur der zu fügenden Werkstoffe liegt. Dies bedingt die Vermeidung der Ausbildung von harten, versprödenden intermetallischen Phasen, wie sie z. B. beim konventionellen Schmelzschweißen von Eisen-Aluminium-Verbindungen auf-treten. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt grundlegende Untersuchungen zur Schweißbar-keit einer CoCrFeMnNi-Legierung (HEA) und einer CoCrNi-Legierung (MEA) mit dem FSW-Prozess vor. Die Versuchsschweißungen werden mittels mikroskopischer Analysen hinsichtlich des Schweißnahtaufbaus sowie Schweißnahtfehlern charakte-risiert. FSW zeigt sich als grundlegend geeignet zur Verbindungsschweißung der HEA bzw. MEA. Anhand dieser Ergebnisse kann eine weitere Bewertung der Schweißbar-keit erfolgen.
