摘要
Numerical simulation and experimental results were employed for the identification of the most vulnerable zones in three-pass cold-metal-transferring (CMT) welded joint. The residual stress distribution in the joint was predicted by finite element (FE) method, while the structural morphology of distinctive zones was obtained through metallographic experiments. The highest principal stress made the symmetric face of the joint most sensitive to tensile cracks under service conditions. Whereas, the boundaries between the weld seam and the base plates were sensitive to cracks because the equivalent von Mises stress was the highest when the first interpass cooling was finished. The third weld pass and the inter-pass remelted zones exhibited the modest mechanical performances as a result of the coarse grain and coarse grain boundary, respectively. The most vulnerable zones were regarded to be the crossed parts between the zones identified by numerical and experimental methods.
采用数值模拟与实验相结合的方法预测3道冷金属过渡(CMT)焊接接头的薄弱环节。通过有限元方法预测焊接接头中残余应力的分布特征;通过金相实验获得焊接接头中不同特征区域的微观组织形貌特征。接头对称面上的最大主应力值最高,故该区域在服役过程中较易产生拉伸裂纹。第一次层间冷却结束后,焊缝金属与基板的交界面上因等效von-Mises应力最大而具有较高的裂纹敏感性。根据金相分析结果,第3道焊缝中晶粒最为粗大,而层间的熔合区则具有粗大的晶间析出物组织特征,两种现象均意味着较差的力学性能。焊接接头中最为薄弱的区域则位于分别通过数值方法和实验方法得出的薄弱区域的交叉区域。
