از اچ کند و پاشی (sputter etching)  فولاد زنگ نزن نوع AISI 420

ABSTRACT

Argon ion sputter-etching of AISI type 420 martensitic stainless steel was carried out to form conical protrusions with bottom diameter of 10–30 μm on the specimen surface by using a radio-frequency magnetron sputter-apparatus. Plasma-nitriding was applied to the protrusions with various mixing rate of nitrogen and argon gas. The shape of the protrusions was examined by using a scanning electron microscope, and the nitrides formed on the protrusions were identified by means of an X-ray diffraction analysis. Micro-Vickers hardness tests and nano-scratch tests were used to evaluate the deformation resistance of the protrusions. By plasma-nitriding at a nitrogen pressure of 130 Pa and a nitriding power of 50 W, about 1.3 times larger indentation resistance than that of the as-sputter-etched protrusions was obtained after a long nitriding time of 14 ks. When plasma-nitriding was carried out at a lower nitrogen pressure of 1.2 Pa and a higher nitriding power of 200 W for 7.2 ks, indentation and scratch resistances of the protrusions largely increased to the values almost three times as large as those of the as-sputter-etched protrusions. However, the protrusions were brittle due to the formation of thick nitride layers and the sharpness of the protrusions was lost. Reduction of the nitriding power to 50 W recovered the sharpness with small amount of surface nitride layer, but the indentation resistances were only 1.4 times larger values than those of the as-sputter-etched protrusions. On the other hand, plasma-nitriding using a mixture of nitrogen gas of 0.53 Pa and argon gas of 0.67 Pa at the power of 50 W produced almost twice larger indentation and scratch resistances than those of the as-sputter-etched protrusions within a short nitriding time of 1.8 ks, retaining the sharpness of protrusions without forming brittle nitrided layers.

 

جوشکاری اصطکاکی-تلاطمی آلیاژ آلومینیوم به فولاد زنگ‌نزن

Friction stir welding of dissimilar Al 6013-T4 To

X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel

جوشکاری اصطکاکی-تلاطمی غیرهمجنس Al 6013-T4 به فولاد زنگ‌نزن X5CrNi  

ABSTRACT

The joining of dissimilar Al 6013-T4 alloy and X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel was carried out using friction stir welding (FSR) technique. The microstructure, hardness and fatigue properties of fiction stir welded 6013 aluminium alloy to stainless steel have been investigated. Optical microscopy was used to characterise the microstructures of the weld nugget, the heat affected zone (HAZ), thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and the base materials. The results show that FSR can be used the joining of dissimilar Al 6013 alloy and X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel. Seven different zones of the microstructure in the welding are reported as follows: (1) parent stainless steel, (2) HAZ in the stainless steel at advancing side of weld, (3) TMAZ in the stainless steel at advancing side of weld, (4) weld nugget, (5) TMAZ in the Al alloy at retreating side of weld, (6) HAZ in the Al alloy at retreating side of weld and (7) parent Al alloy. A good correlation between the hardness distribution and the welding zones are observed. Fatigue properties of Al 6013-T4/X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel joints were found to be approximately 30% lower than that of the Al 6013-T6 alloy base metal.

ABSTRACT

A TIG welded 316 stainless steel materials will have a large impact on the design and the maintenance of invessel components including pipes used in a nuclear power plant, and it is important to clear the dynamic behavior in the weld part of stainless steel. Therefore, nondestructive techniques of acoustic emission (AE) and ultrasonic wave were applied to investigate the damage behavior of welded stainless steel. The velocity and attenuation ratio of the ultrasonic wave at each zone were measured, and a 10 MHz sensor was used. We investigated the relationship between dynamic behavior and AE parameters analysis and derived the optimum parameters to evaluate the damage degree of the specimen. By measuring the velocity and the attenuation of an ultrasonic wave propagating each zone of the welded stainless steel, the relation of the ultrasonic wave and metal structure at the base metal, heat affected zone (HAZ) metal and weld metal is also discussed. The generating tendency of cumulated counts is similar to that of the load curve. The attenuation ratios from the ultrasonic test results were 0.2 dB/mm at the base zone, and 0.52 dB/mm and 0.61 dB/mm at the HAZ zone and weld zone, respectively.

 

خوردگی حفره‌ای در جوش فلزات فولاد ضد زنگ سوپر دوبلکس

Effects of Heat Input on Pitting Corrosion in

Super Duplex Stainless Steel Weld Metals

اثر حرارت ورودی بر خوردگی حفره‌ای در جوش فلزات فولاد ضد زنگ سوپر دوبلکس

ABSTRACT

Due to the difference in reheating effects depending on the heat input of subsequent weld passes, the microstructure of the weld metal varies between acicular type austenite and a mixture of polygonal type and grain boundary mixed austenite. These microstructural changes may affect the corrosion properties of duplex stainless steel welds. This result indicates that the pitting resistance of the weld can be strongly influenced by the morphology of the secondary austenite phase. In particular, the ferrite phase adjacent to the acicular type austenite phase shows a lower Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PRE) value of 25.3, due to its lower chromium and molybdenum contents, whereas the secondary austenite phase maintains a higher PRE value of more than 38. Therefore, it can be inferred that the pitting corrosion is mainly due to the formation of ferrite phase with a much lower PRE value.

 

رفتار یک لوله‌ی فولاد زنگ نزن دوفازی با جوش‌کاری محیطی تحت فشار خارجی

Behavior of a girth-welded duplex stainless steel pipe underexternal pressure

رفتار یک لوله‌ی فولاد زنگ نزن دوفازی با جوش‌کاری محیطی تحت فشار خارجی

ABSTRACT

This study attempts to investigate the effects that external pressure has on the residual stress behavior in a girth-welded duplex stainless steel pipe. At first, FE simulation of the pipe girth welding is performed to identify the weld-induced residual stresses and depressions using sequentially coupled three-dimensional (3-D) thermo-mechanical FE formulation. Then, 3-D elastic–plastic FE analysis is carried out to evaluate the residual stress redistributions in the girth-welded pipe under external pressure. The residual stresses and plastic strains obtained from the thermo-mechanical FE simulation are employed as the initial condition for the analysis. The FE analysis results show that the hoop compressive stresses induced by the external pressure significantly alter the hoop residual stresses in the course of the mechanical loading, i.e. the hoop residual stress distributions on both surfaces of the pipe weld shift downward considerably, whilst the axial residual stresses are little affected by the superimposed external pressure.

 

اتصالات بین فولاد زنگ نزن سوپر دو فازی و فولاد HSLA

Effect of heat input on microstructure and mechanical properties of

dissimilar joints between super duplex stainless steel and high strength low alloy steel

اثر حرارت ورودی بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی اتصالات غیر مشابه بین

فولاد زنگ نزن سوپر دو فازی و فولاد کم آلیاژ با استحکام بالا

ABSTRACT

In the present study, microstructure and mechanical properties of UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS)/API X-65 high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) dissimilar joint were investigated. For this purpose, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used in two different heat inputs: 0.506 and 0.86 kJ/mm. The microstructures investigation with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction showed that an increase in heat input led to a decrease in ferrite percentage, and that detrimental phases were not present. It also indicated that in heat affected zone of HSLA base metal in low heat input, bainite and ferrite phases were created; but in high heat input, perlite and ferrite phases were created. The results of impact tests revealed that the specimen with low heat input exhibited brittle fracture and that with high heat input had a higher strength than the base metals.

 

نقش آستنیت در چقرمگی جوش فولاد زنگ‌نزن سوپردوفازی

Role of Austenite in Weld Toughness of Super Duplex Stainless Steel

نقش آستنیت در چقرمگی جوش فولاد زنگ‌نزن سوپردوفازی

ABSTRACT

Microstructure control for welding super duplex stainless steel SAF2507 was carried out on a welded joint by GTA welding. The toughness of the bond region in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the advanced SAF2507 stainless steel was much lower than that of the base metal. The microstructure of the bond region for the as-welded sample was examined and the extreme grain growth of ferrite and the lowering of the amount of austenite phase were observed. In order to improve the toughness of the bond region, microstructure control was carried out using a cooling rate control process during welding. Various cooling times from 1 673 K to 1 073 K in the bond region were selected, which corresponded to the heat input from 1 kJ/mm to 6 kJ/mm. For the ferrite grain growth, the cooling time from 1 673 K to 1 473 K, that is,
t16-14 was controlled using a Gleeble simulator. The ferrite grain size increased with increasing cooling time
t16-14. For austenite phase reformation, the cooling time from 1 473 K to 1 073 K,
t14-10 was selected, since austenite phase reformation occurs within that temperature range. The amount of austenite increased with increasing
t14-10. Increasing the cooling rate caused both ferrite grain growth and an increase of the austenite phase. Improvement of the toughness was accomplished up to 60 s in the cooling time from 1 473 K to 1 073 K, however hardly any change in toughness was accomplished at the cooling time of 120 s, because the slow cooling rate caused both ferrite grain growth and an increase of the austenite phase.

 

اثر عملیات حرارتی در جوشکاری انفجاری فولاد زنگ نزن/مس

Effect of heat treatment on bonding interface in explosive welded
copper/stainless steel

اثر عملیات حرارتی روی فصل مشترک اتصال در جوشکاری انفجاری فولاد زنگ نزن/مس

ABSTRACT

In this investigation, explosive welding and heat treatment processes provided an effective method for manufacturing high-strength and high-ductility copper/ austenitic stainless steel couple. In order to improve diffusion in the interface of copper/stainless steel, first the tensile samples were provided from the welded part, then they were subjected to annealing at 300 C (below recrystallization temperature) for 8–32 h with 8 h intervals and then samples were cooled in the furnace. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were utilized to evaluate the possibility of diffusion in the joints. Moreover, in order to measure the hardness of the samples, microhardness test was performed. Microstructural evaluations showed that the stainless steel 304L had a wavy interface. Furthermore, the post heat treatment process resulted in great enhancement of diffusion. Microhardness measurements showed that the hardness of the sample near to the interface is greatly higher than other parts; this is due to plastic deformation and work hardening of copper and stainless steel 304L in these regions. The interface of samples with and without the post heat treatment was exhibited ductile and brittle fracture, respectively.

ABSTRACT

Carries on the investigation to the titanium alloy/Cu/stainless steel intermetallic compound of bonding interface in the meantime, to make a thermodynamic model of the interface element diffusion to have a numerical simulation of the diffusion distance and diffusion temperature, time. Using analysis methods of stretching test, microhardness test, SEM and EDS, to investigate and research the mechanical properties, the interface structure characteristic, the principal element atomic diffusion mechanism of joints thermal simulation and the vacuum diffusion bonding of Ti-6Al-4V/Cu/304, the reacting phases are produced and the distribution range . The results show that when bonding prssere is 5.0 MPa ، the joints tensile strength first increase and then decreases, with bonding temperature and time rising, When bonding temperature is 1223K, bonding time is 3.6 ks, there is a maximum tensile strength that is 162.73 MPa. However, it will is disadvantageous to performance of the joints, when bonding temperature and time extended overly. It formed multi-phase transition organizations by solid solution, intermetallic compounds in the bonding interface, such as Ti2Cu, TixCuy , Ti2Fe, TiFe2 and TiFe. Effect of TixFey on strength of the joints is slightly inferior the TixCuy compound. The fracture is mainly by the titanium alloy side region III for the source dehiscence, developing in the weak diffusion layer.

اتصال نفوذی آلیاژ مس به فولاد زنگ نزن تحت فشار ناگهانی همراه با یک لایه ی نیکل خالص بین آن ها و یا بدون آن

ABSTRACT

Impulse pressuring diffusion bonding of a copper alloy to a stainless steel was performed in vacuum. Using Ni interlayer of 12.5 lm, the joint produced at 825 C under 5–20 MPa for 20 min exhibited lower strength, which could result from the insufficient thermal excitation and plastic deformation. At 850 C under 5–20 MPa for 5–20 min, the strength of the joint improved with time. An optimized joint strength reached up to 217.2 MPa. Fracture occurred along the Cu–Ni reaction layer and the Ni layer and almost plastic fracture was confirmed by extensive dimples on the fracture surface. Using the interlayer of 50 lm, the fracture surface was similar. Without Ni assistance, under the same bonding condition, the joint strength was about 174.2 MPa. The lowered strength might be attributed to the appearance of some unbonded zones in the joint. Lots of brittle fracture areas appeared on the fracture surface.
