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.
Realization and safe operation of modern welded structures are progressively requiring for base and filler materials to cope with continually increasing loads, Analyses with a view to crack prevention therefore need to accommodate particularly the structural design (restraint intensity) and the thermomechanical effects in terms of stresses introduced during welding, Against this background, multi-run welding experiments were carried out in an IRC - (Instrumented Restraint Cracking) Test under defined restraint intensity in order to examine the influence of heat control (preheating and interpass temperatures) on the weldinq-specific forces and stresses, The experiments revealed significant rises in the reaction force and stress after welding with increasing preheating and interpass temperature, Furthermore, various concepts for calculating the preheating temperature are discussed, It is demonstrated that the hitherto existing concepts for high-strength finegrained structural steels can lead to divergent results.
