摘要
Austenite grain sizes in the heat affected zone （HAZ） of a high heat input welded Zr-Ti bearing microal- loyed steel are measured under different welding conditions simulated by a Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator. The austenite grain growth is divided into two regimes in terms of temperature. When the temperature is lower than 1 250℃ where the pinning effect of precipitates is strong, the austenite grain size increases slowly with increas- ing peak temperature, but it increases drastically when the temperature is higher than 1 250 ~C where the pinning effect of precipitates is weak. Based on the experimental measurements, an analytical model for predicting the aus- tenite grain size in the heat affected zone is derived. Model predictions indicate that the initial grain size has little effect on the final one, and the grain growth depends mainly on heat input and peak temperature as well as growth activation energy and exponent. With the use of the model, the width of coarse grained heat affected zone （CGHAZ） for a thick plate is predicted.
