本研究では、オーステナイト系ステンレス鋼SUS316L及びニッケル基超合金NCF600を母材とした異種材平板の突合わせ溶接継手の残留応力について実材料表面残留応力分布計測及び熱弾塑性有限要素解析を行った。その結果、測定からは溶接部内部に弾塑性有限要素解析では見られない非対称な圧縮応力分布が発生していることを明らかにした。今後この差を解明するために結晶配向、弾塑性異方性なども含めたより詳細な研究が必須であり、それにより、より信頼性の高い弾塑性有限要素解析が可能になると期待できる。

In this study, a residual stress distribution in a dissimilar plate butt-welded joint was simulated by a thermo-elastic finite element method. The base metal was the austenitic stainless steel SUS316L. The other base metal was nickel super-alloy NCF600, and the weld metal was the alloy 82 (YNiCr-3). The dimensions of the plate butt-welded joint were a width of 200 mm, a length of 250 mm and a thickness of 25 mm. The welding joint was fabricated by TIG welding with 22 passes. For comparison, the residual stress distribution for the similar butt-welded joint of SUS316L was simulated as well as the dissimilar welded joint. According to the simulated results, there was not the difference in the thermal field between the similar and the dissimilar welded joints. The residual stress distribution in the similar welded joint became symmetrical to the welding center after removal of the weld bead. For the dissimilar welded joint, the peak of the residual stresses moved to the NCF600 side a little. The residual stress level of the dissimilar welded joint was large compared with the similar welded joint. The residual stress of the welding direction was larger than that of the transverse direction.
