Low-alloyed CrMoV steels, such as T24, are widely used for welded components in fossil power stations due to their excellent creep-strength. Spectacular failure cases in the recent years exhibited severe cracking in T24 welds. The results showed that hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) occurring up to 200 degree Celsius cannot be excluded. Hence, a basic understanding is necessary on how hydrogen affects the material properties of welded microstructures. In this regard, each weld microstructure (HAZ and weld metal) has influence on the HAC susceptibility and respective hydrogen diffusion. Thus, the present contribution summarizes different results obtained from experiments with grades T24 (CrMoV alloy) and T22 (CrMo) and thermally simulated HAZ. Tensile tests were conducted with hydrogen charged specimens and compared to hydrogen-assisted stress corrosion cracking results obtained from slow strain rate tests (SSRT) up to 200 degree Celsius. Electrochemical permeation and degassing experiments were performed to identify a particular weld microstructure influence on hydrogen diffusion and trapping (especially in the HAZ). The results showed that T24 base material has improved resistance to hydrogen-assisted degradation/cracking. In contrast, the as-welded HAZ had remarkably increased susceptibility (tesnile tests at hydrogen concentration of 1 to 2 ppm). SSRT experiments confirmed this at elevated temperatures for both the T24 and the T22. Hence, the evaluation of a particular degradation of the mechanical properties should be performed independently for each weld microstructure. In addition, the HAZ showed decreased diffusion coefficients (at room temperature) of approximately one magnitude compared to the base materials. Trapped hydrogen was determined in the T24 at temperatures up to 120 degree Celsius compared to 75 degree Celsius in the T22. This has to be considered in case of changing operational temperatures, e.g. in the case of start-up and shutdown processes of boiler components.
Adaption of Heat Control Concepts for Welding Stress Optimization in High-strength Steel Components
(2016)
High-strength structural steels from 690 MPa are increasingly applied at present. Major reasons are lightweight design trends and potential cost reductions. The structural design of welds and their manufacturing become more challenging with increasing material strength. By reasons of a higher yield ratio of these steels, the development of high residual stresses has to be avoided, since they are detrimental to the components safety and performance. Local restraint stresses and welding loads due to external shrinkage restraints occur. Frequently, this leads to critical tensile residual stresses in the weld and HAZ. In this study, influences of welding process parameters and restraint conditions on the residual stress state in welded components of high-strength steels were investigated. Multilayer GMAW tests under free shrinkage and experiments under well-defined restraints in special in-house developed testing facilities were accomplished. The tests permitted analyses of the resulting local residual stresses measured by means of X-ray diffraction and global reaction stress build-up while welding and cooling. Significant effects were found for heat control, seam configuration and restraint condition. Besides high restraints, elevated preheating and interpass temperatures lead to increased welding stresses. An adaption of welding parameters considering heat control, weld run sequence and seam configuration proved to be beneficial.
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).
