Abstract
Martensitic heat-resistant steel (MHRS) serves as an important structural material for manufacturing ultra-supercritical unit due to its excellent fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is a common method for regulating the microstructure and properties of MHRS welded parts. In this work, we investigated the influence of different PWHT methods on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and room temperature creep properties of Co3W2 welded joints. The results showed that post-weld direct tempering (PWDT) or post-weld re-automatizing and tempering (PWNT) treatment significantly reduces the differences in microstructure and local mechanical properties of as-welded joints. Compared to the as-welded specimens, the PWDT and PWNT welds show lower strength and hardness, but better impact resistance. The PWNT treated welds show more homogeneous microstructure and local mechanical performance, and better tensile property and impact resistance than PWDT welds. Furthermore, the fine grain heat affected zone in PWNT welds shows the smallest strain rate sensitivity value, which implies the PWNT method may alleviate type IV brittle fracture in martensitic heat-resistant steel weldments.
期刊介绍:
Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants.
The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome:
• Pressure vessel engineering
• Structural integrity assessment
• Design methods
• Codes and standards
• Fabrication and welding
• Materials properties requirements
• Inspection and quality management
• Maintenance and life extension
• Ageing and environmental effects
• Life management
Of particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time.
International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
