Residual stresses are crucial when assessing the performance of welded components. The present work deals with the possibilities of transferring the real-life boundary conditions of welding, which influence the residual stress, into the laboratory. The possibilities of a test system with a load capacity of 2 MN specifically developed for online monitoring of stress formation and cracking are shown. Due to the structural design, global process, geometry and material-dependent stresses are induced, which can be quantified in-situ during welding and post weld heat treatment. Examples are presented how the conditions to be found during production are simulated in the laboratory. It is shown how welding residual stresses in high-strength steels are affected by the heat control. Elevated working temperatures significantly increase the tensile residual stresses in the heat affected zone (HAZ). The effect of mechanical stresses resulting from welding on stress relief cracking is demonstrated by the example of a creep resistant steel. Reheat cracks were monitored online during post weld heat treatment.
Von der Anwendung ins Prüflabor: Maßstabsgetreues Bewerten von Spannungen in geschweißten Bauteilen
(2019)
Eigenspannungen sind von zentraler Bedeutung für die Performance geschweißter Bauteile. Die Bewertung schweißbedingter Beanspruchungen im Labormaßstab ist oft nicht zielführend. Reale Bauteilschweißungen weisen geometrisch und konstruktiv bedingt meist divergente Wärmeableitungs- und Einspannbedingungen auf. Dadurch lassen sich häufig nur eingeschränkt Aussagen über Eigenspannungshöhen, -verteilungen und die wesentlichen Einflussfaktoren treffen. Dies führt oftmals zur eher konservativen Konstruktionsauslegung und damit zu einer geringerenRessourcen- und Energieeffizienz. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich den Bestrebungen, reale Randbedingungen beim Bauteilschweißen in das Labor zu übertragen. Es werden die Möglichkeiten eines speziell für diesen Zweck an der BAM entwickelten Prüfsystems mit einer maximalen Tragkraft von 2 MN aufgezeigt. Durch die konstruktive Gestaltung der Anlage lassen sich in Schweißversuchen schweißbedingte Beanspruchungen nachbilden und die komplexen Einflüsse und Wechselwirkungen durch Schweißprozess, Bauteilgeometrie und -konstruktion sowie durch die eingesetzten Grund- und Zusatzwerkstoffe quantifizieren. Darüber hinaus können mittels Röntgenbeugung die resultierenden lokalen Eigenspannungen präzise und mit hoher Ortsauflösung bestimmt werden. Anhand von Beispielen wird die Nachbildung realer Produktionsbedingungen im Labor erörtert und gezeigt, wie die Spannungen beim Schweißen hochfester Baustähle von konstruktiven, werkstoff- und prozessseitigen Randbedingungen abhängen.
So wurde geklärt, wie erhöhte Arbeitstemperaturen zum signifikanten Anstieg der Beanspruchungen führen.
High-strength steels are increasingly applied in modern steel constructions to meet today’s lightweight requirements. Welding of these steels demands a profound knowledge of the interactions between the welding process, cooling conditions, heat input, and the resulting metallurgical occurrences in the weld and its vicinity. Additionally, welding stresses may be detrimental for the safety and performance of high-strength steel component welds during fabrication and service, especially due to the high yield ratio. For a development of strategies to adjust welding heat control, all these effects should be considered, to reach a complete exploitation of the high-strength steel potential. In recent researches at BAM, multilayer GMAW experiments were performed with high-strength steels, in which cooling conditions and resulting microstructure were analyzed for varied heat control parameters. The application of a unique 3d-operating testing facility and X-ray diffraction measurements allowed the analysis of local stresses in the weld while welding and cooling under component relevant shrinkage restraints. As a result, correlations between material behavior, welding, and cooling condition and the arising multi-axial stresses and forces were found. Based on this study, statements for the development of adapted heat control concepts were derived, which are presented by means of specific analysis examples.
Welding residual stress engineering by means of an adjusted martensite phase transformation would be highly attractive as detrimental tensile residual stresses may be prevented already during welding without time and cost intensive post processing. The present study shows a synchrotron diffraction analysis of a martensitic steel subjected to thermo-mechanical load cycles. Experiments were conducted regarding the microstructural strain response during the austenite to martensite transformation. The strains are a function of the temperature and the specific loads applied during cooling. The relation between the transformation plasticity of the material, the amount of martensite formed and the arising strains can thus be assessed. The lattice plane specific strains were compared to experimental findings from (macro) dilatation tests. It is shown that the microscopic material behavior differs remarkably from the one observed on the macroscopic scale, what leads to characteristic residual stresses in the material.
