This article presents the latest results of an ongoing national research project on improved models for the prediction of welding residual stresses of thick-plated welded I-girders. The experimental program is presented and the importance of different influencing factors on the residual stresses is discussed in detail. All results are compared for mild (S355J2+N) and high strength (S690QL) steel. Finally, conclusions for further works are drawn.
This article addresses the imperfections caused by the weld assembly in I-shape sections made of two structural steel grades. Load influencing imperfections are assumed as deviations from the ideal shape (e.g. bending distortion) and longitudinal residual stresses. The quality of a numerically aided design of components exposed to either compression and/or bending is significantly affected, depending on these parameters. The Eurocode (EC3) provides robust simplified models. As a result, the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) is approached on a conservative basis. The following investigations are aimed at providing further guidance on these values in component-like specimens. The long term goal is an improved understanding of the load-bearing capacity of such sections. As a first step in this process, the experimental and corresponding numerical studies are presented.
Joining processes for components in hydrogen technologies: Current need and future importance
(2022)
This presentation gives an overview on the importance of joining processes for component fabrication in hydrogen technologies. For that reason, the current need and future research and developement activites are highlighted for the three technological fields: hydrogen storage, transport and use (in terms of the emerging field of additive manufacturing). Finally, some remarks are given for necessary changes in the standardization.
Martensitic 9 %-Cr steels like P91 and P92 show susceptibility to delayed hydrogen assisted cracking depending on their microstructure. In that connection, effective hydrogen diffusion coefficients are used to assess the possible time-delay. The small number of available diffusion coefficients varies already at room temperature by several orders of magnitude (mostly regarded as result of present microstructure). Especially P91 weld metal diffusion coefficients are rare so far. For that reason, electrochemical permeation experiments had been conducted using P92 base metal and P91 weld metal (in as-welded and heat-treated condition) with different thicknesses. The diffusion coefficients are calculated by two methods (time-lag and inflection point method) were performed. The results show that, despite of microstructural effects, the sample thickness must be considered as it influences the calculated diffusion coefficients. Finally, the comparison of calculated and measured hydrogen concentrations (determined by carrier gas hot extraction) enables the identification of realistic diffusion coefficients.
This presentation summarizes the latest results on the BAM-Themenfeld project SURDIA on processing of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) at BAM. At first, the influence of machining by ultrasonic-assisted milling on the surface integrity is presented. Second, the weld processing by Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is presented and the results of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which is conducted at BAM for the first time.

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.
Hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) represents a significant failure risk for (high strength) creep resistant low-alloyed steel components in fossil-fired power plant applications at temperatures of up to and above 200 °C. This particularly applies to respective start-up and shut-down processes associated with alternating service-conditions in terms of load flexible power plants. For quantitative determination of localized crack critical hydrogen concentrations, the temperature dependent hydrogen diffusion coefficients have to be determined as exactly as possible.
However, available literature provides a wide range of hydrogen diffusion coefficients for low alloyed steels with similar microstructures. Additionally, the available diffusion data seem not to be very reliable and their scatter increases with decreasing temperature. One reason is that the experimental boundary conditions can have a major impact on the determination of respective effective diffusion coefficients. Hence, the scope of this study is to evaluate the influence of the experimental boundary conditions on the derived diffusion coefficients. In addition, different methods for calculating diffusion coefficients are discussed. To elucidate such influences and to draw a line to practical application, the diffusion and trapping behavior in the creep resistant steel 7CrMoVTiB10 10 has been studied.
For such purpose, hydrogen charged specimens were isothermally degassed at different temperatures using carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE). Based on experimental data, a numerical model has been developed by which the hydrogen transport behavior and the respective hydrogen distribution during CGHE can be assessed.
It is demonstrated that the specimen heating rate has a large influence on the calculated diffusion coefficients under assumption of isothermal degassing which elsewhere has been underestimated in the assessment of diffusion data in creep-resistant steels. The numerical results suggest that calculation methods for diffusion coefficients are limited if compared to experimental results. It also turned out that the sample preparation time before CGHE can enormously influence determined diffusion coefficients. Consequently, non-homogeneous hydrogen concentration profiles have to be anticipated in the simulations to arrive at characteristic effusion curves consistent to respective CGHE experiments. In turn, validated diffusion coefficients are now available for the low-alloyed Cr-Mo-V steel which might be helpful to calculate appropriate hydrogen removal heat treatment procedures, for instance.
