Studies on the Effect of Mechanical Vibration on
the Microstructure of the Weld Metal
تحقیقات در مورد اثر ارتعاش مکانیکی روی ریزساختار مادهی جوشکاری
ABSTRACT
The solidification process in the weld metal produces solidification structure. The solidification process depends on the thermal gradient, solidification speed and the alloy content. These structures can be planar, cellular, columnar dendritic and equiaxed dendritic. The solidification process may change from planar to cellular, columnar dendritic and equiaxed dendritic across the weld metal zone as shown in fig.1. Three grains are shown to grow epitaxially from the fusion line. A short distance away from the fusion line, solidification changes to the cellular mode. Further away from the fusion line, the solidification changes to columnar dendritic mode. Near the weld centre line equiaxed dendrites nucleate and grow, blocking off the columnar dendrites. Each one of these structures would affect the hot cracking susceptibility in greater or smaller extent.

Effect of the welding heat input on residual stresses in butt-welds of dissimilar pipe joints
اثر ورودی حرارت جوشکاری بر تنشهای پسماند در جوشهای لب به لب اتصالات لوله غیرمشابه
ABSTRACT
This study used finite element techniques to analyse the thermo-mechanical behaviour and residual stresses in dissimilar butt-welded pipes. The residual stresses at the surface of some weld specimens were measured experimentally by using the hole-drilling method. The results of the finite element analysis were compared with experimentally measured data to evaluate the accuracy of the finite element modelling. Based on this study, a modelling procedure with reasonable accuracy was developed. The developed finite element modelling was used to study the effects of welding heat input on magnitude and distribution of welding residual stresses in butt-welded pipes made of ferritic and austenitic steels. The hoop and axial residual stresses in dissimilar pipe joints of 8 mm thick for V-groove shape were studied. It is shown that the welding heat input has a significant effect on magnitude and distribution of residual stresses in the stainless steel side of the studied joints.
