Influence of Weld Heat Input on the Fracture and Metallurgy of HSLA-65

Pages 311-316 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

HSLA-65 steel is regarded as an excellent naval ship steel. Its low carbon equivalent and strength-to-weight ratio make it an ideal candidate for future Canadian naval platforms. In this study, welds were fabricated using the flux core arc welding process using two different heat inputs. For the high heat input welds, the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature shifts above the minimum service temperature, while the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature for the low heat input case remains well below the service temperature. The reason for this significant shift in the transition temperature is examined, revealing that the sampling location of the Charpy notch is a significant factor, along with the underlying transformation product.

L'acier HSLA-65 est considéré comme un excellent acier pour les bâtiments. Sa faible teneur en carbone et son faible rapport résistance-poids en font un candidat pour les futures platesformes navales canadiennes. Dans la présente étude, les soudures ont été faites à l'aide du soudage avec fil fourré à l'aide de deux différents apports de chaleur. Pour les soudures à apport élevé en chaleur, la température de transition du type dutile au type fragile passe au-dessus de la température de service minimale, alors que la température de transition du type ductile au type fragile pour le cas de faible apport de chaleur demeure bien en-dessous de la température de service. La raison expliquant ce changement important de la température de transition est examinée, ce qui révèle que l'emplacement d'échantillon de la résilience Charpy est un facteur important, avec le produit de transformation sous-jacent.
