被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)In this study, neutron diffraction mapping was performed on linear friction welded (LFW) joints of 12 mm thick high-phosphorus weathering steel (SPA-H) to evaluate residual stress, dislocation density, and crystallographic orientation. Welding was conducted under applied pressures of 100 and 250 MPa. The weld interface mainly consisted of refined ferrite with minor retained austenite and martensite, indicating reverse transformation to austenite during welding. The 250 MPa condition resulted in a lower welding temperature. Elongated grains were observed near the surface along the oscillation direction, while equiaxed grains appeared at the center. Both joints showed high tensile residual stresses at the weld center and compressive stresses near the surface. Higher applied pressure increased dislocation density because of suppressed dynamic recovery. Strong texture formation due to plastic flow was observed, while the effect of applied pressure on texture development was limited.

Neutron diffraction mapping was conducted on linear friction welded joints of 12 mm thick high-phosphorus weathering steel (SPA-H) to evaluate residual stress, dislocation density, and crystallographic orientation. Welding was performed at 100 MPa and 250 MPa. The weld interface mainly comprised refined ferrite with retained austenite and martensite, indicating temperatures exceeded A1 and induced reverse transformation. The 250 MPa joint showed a lower welding temperature. Elongated grains formed near the surface along the oscillation direction (OD), while equiaxed grains appeared at the center. High tensile residual stresses were found at the weld center, with compressive stress near the surface perpendicular to the weld. Pressure had little effect on overall stress trends. Dislocation density increased with pressure due to suppressed dynamic recovery. Strong texture developed at the interface, with limited pressure dependence.

In this study, austenitic stainless steel pipes with a small diameter (100A) were butt-welded and the residual stress was measured using high energy synchrotron radiation X-rays and neutron. The welding residual stress is asymmetrical with respect to the welding line and has unevenness due to the crystal grains. Large axial residual stress occurs from the HAZ near the penetration bead toward the weld part. A simulation of a butt-welded pipe was performed using the finite element method. In the half model of the welded pipe, the butt-plane was assumed to keep a plane. The simulated residual stress by the half model was larger than that by the whole model. To perform an accurate simulation, the whole butt-welded piping must be modeled. The real tensile stress area from the HAZ near the penetration bead toward the weld was not obtained by the simulation.

Flaws due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) were recently detected in welded joints of austenitic stainless steel piping lines in pressurized water reactors. Welding-induced high hardness and tensile residual stress are known as one of the main factors affecting SCC. In this work, thermal-elastic-plastic coupled three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to investigate the distributions of welding residual stress and hardness in butt-welded joints of Type 316 stainless steel. Different heat inputs were applied to the pipe welds, including normal heat input, high heat input and very high heat input. Two different constraint conditions were considered for the welded joints, i.e., both ends free or clamped, the latter indicating that the welded joint is constrained by the surrounding piping system. Simulation results were compared with experimental data such as welding thermal cycle, axial shrinkage and residual stress for validation. The effects of heat input and constraint condition on the welding residual stress and hardness at different sections of the welded joints including the weld start/end location were discussed in detail.

In this work, a framework was proposed on the comprehensive assessment of hardness and welding residual stress in Type 316 austenitic stainless steel welded joints. Firstly, an 8-pass butt-welded joint made of Type 316 stainless steel was fabricated. Finite element analysis of the welded joint was performed to investigate hardness and welding residual stress distributions. The grain growth model was developed for the hardness prediction. The Chaboche combined isotropic-kinematic strain hardening model and time-temperature dependent annealing model were adopted. The relationships between the Vickers hardness and the uniaxial plastic strain as well as grain size were collected from published literatures. The simulation results of the grain size and accumulated equivalent plastic strain were used for the hardness prediction of the welded joint. The predicted hardness was compared with the experimental data of hardness mapping. The distribution of welding residual stress on the outer surface of the welded pipe was measured by using the X-ray diffraction method and strain gauge method, respectively. The predicted welding residual stresses were compared with the measurements. The results obtained showed that the developed numerical approach can predict the hardness and welding residual stress of Type 316 stainless steel welded joints with satisfactory accuracy. The effects of structural constraint and heat input on the hardness and welding residual stress will be investigated as further works, as described in the proposed framework.

In this research, to investigate the effect of shot peening on operation, an analysis method to predict the behavior of stress distribution on shot peening was proposed. In the proposed system, the load distribution on the collision of shots was modeled, and it was integrated with the dynamic analysis method based on the Idealized explicit FEM (IEFEM). The thermal elastic plastic analysis method using IEFEM was applied to the analysis of residual stress distribution of multi-pass welded pipe joint. The computed residual stress distribution was compared with the measured residual stress distribution using X-ray diffraction (XRD). As a result, it was shown that the both welding residual stress distribution agree well with each other. Considering the computed welding residual stress distribution, the modification of stress distribution due to shot peening was predicted by the proposed analysis system.

本研究では、高張力鋼の一つであるNi-Cr鋼を用いて製作したX開先突合せ溶接試験片の残留応力分布を中性子回折法により測定し、残留応力発生メカニズムを検討した。始めに、無ひずみ状態における格子定数を測定するために、溶接試験片から幾つかの小片試料を切り出した。小片試料を用いて格子定数を測定した結果、溶接過程において生じたマルテンサイト変態などの相変態が影響して、溶接部近傍で格子定数の増加が認められた。次に、
Fe110, Fe200, Fe211の三種類の回折により溶接試験片の残留応力分布を測定した。塑性ひずみの影響が無いために、それぞれの回折により評価した残留応力分布はほとんど同様な傾向を示していた。また、溶接部近傍における残留応力はNi-Cr鋼の降伏強さの半分程度の引張残留応力であった。高張力鋼では軟鋼と比べて相変態による膨張量が大きいこと、また、引張残留応力がかなり低い温度となってから発生し始めるために、残留応力が降伏応力に至らなかったと考えられる。したがって、高張力鋼の中性子応力評価では、塑性ひずみの発生を考慮する必要の無いことを確認した。

中性子応力測定の従来法では、格子ひずみを計算するために、無ひずみ状態の格子定数を正確に把握する必要がある。著者らは、粉末や焼なまし試料などの標準試料を用いて測定した格子定数を用いることなく、三軸残留応力を評価できる中性子応力測定法を開発した。本研究では、この提案した方法を用いて溶接材の残留応力分布を測定した。まず始めに、溶接材料から切り出した小片試料を用いて、溶接材料の格子定数分布を測定した。その結果、HAZ部(熱影響部)に生じたマルテンサイト変態のために、溶接部近傍において格子定数が大きくなる傾向が確認された。提案した方法により評価した格子定数分布もまた、溶接部近傍において大きくなる傾向を示し、また、格子定数の絶対値は、小片試料のそれとほとんど同じであった。したがって、格子定数の分布が存在するような材料であっても、提案した方法を用いることで、格子定数を推定できると考えられる。従来法及び提案した方法により残留応力分布を評価した。その結果、提案した方法により決定した残留応力分布は、従来法により求めた残留応力分布とほとんど同じであった。したがって、提案した方法は、複雑な残留応力状態を有する材料においても、残留応力分布を正確に決定できると考えられる。

For the mechanical analysis, a combined isotropic-kinematic strain hardening model and a time-temperature dependent annealing model were adopted, the latter to account for the effect of dynamic recovery and recrystallization on the strain hardening. Simulation results were compared with the experimental data such as welding thermal history, hardness, and residual stress for validation. The results show that the developed numerical approach can predict the hardness and welding residual stress in Type 316 stainless steel welded joints with satisfactory accuracy. In addition, the effects of heat input and constraint conditions on the hardness and welding residual stress were investigated. Pipe welds were fabricated with different heat inputs and weld passes. Two typical constraint conditions were considered in the welded joint with both ends free or clamped in the axial direction. The simulation results show that there are high hoop residual stress and hardness in the 13-pass welded joint with normal heat inputs, and high axial residual stress in the 4-pass welded joint with very high heat inputs. Strict axial constraint of the welded joint promotes the increase of axial residual stress and hardness and therefore is harmful for the prevention of SCC.

Many flaws due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) have been reported in the heat affected zone of austenitic stainless steel welded joints in nuclear power plants. High tensile residual stresses and hardness induced by the welding process may affect the initiation and propagation of SCC. During the welding thermal cycles, the accumulated strain hardening can be reduced or eliminated below the melting point due to the dynamic recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth of the material, which is known as the annealing effect. Different annealing models were proposed including the single-stage and two-stage annealing models, which are temperature dependent models to eliminate the accumulated strain hardening in one or two steps, and dynamic annealing models, in which the time-temperature dependent annealing effect can be considered. In this study, numerical investigations were carried out to evaluate the effect of different annealing models on the distributions of welding residual stress and accumulated plastic strain. Two butt-welded joints of Type 316 stainless steel were fabricated. The welding residual stresses of the two welded joints were measured using the neutron diffraction method and sectioning method, respectively. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was performed based on Abaqus platform. Chaboche combined isotropic-kinematic strain hardening model was used. The simulation results of welding residual stresses were compared with measurements. The results obtained have shown that the annealing effect can significantly influence the formation of the accumulated plastic strain and residual stresses in Type 316 stainless steel welded joints. The residual stresses will be overestimated if the annealing effect is neglected, or a relatively high value of the annealing temperature is used. The annealing model plays a major role in determining the magnitude of the accumulated plastic strain in the welding simulation.

Flaws due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) were recently detected in welded joints of austenitic stainless steel piping lines in pressurized water reactors in Japan and France. High hardness and tensile residual stress in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) are significant contributors to the elevated growth rate of SCC. In this work, butt-welded joints of Type 316 stainless steel pipes were fabricated with different heat inputs. The welding residual stresses of the welded joints were measured by neutron diffraction using the diffractometer for residual stress analysis (RESA) at JRR-3 (Japan Research Reactor No. 3) of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The profiles of hardness in the HAZ were also measured. Three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed to predict the hardness and residual stress of the welded joints. In the numerical approach, the combined isotropic-kinematic strain hardening model along with the newly proposed time-temperature dependent annealing model were adopted, in which the effects of dynamic recovery and recrystallization on the strain hardening were considered. The hardness was predicted based on the results of the accumulated plastic strain. Simulation results were comprehensively compared and validated with experimental data including welding thermal history, transverse shrinkage, hardness, and residual stress. The results show that the proposed numerical approach can predict the welding residual stress and hardness in Type 316 stainless steel welded joints with satisfactory accuracy. In addition, numerical investigations on the effects of welding pass number and axial constraint on the residual stress and hardness are briefly reported. The proposed advanced simulation method is expected to improve the accuracy of structural integrity assessment, particularly in the evaluation of SCC growth rate.
