Abstract
Corrosion fatigue behavior and mechanism of the weld joint of Q690qE high-strength bridge steel was investigated in a simulated marine environment. It reveals the sub-critical heat-affected zone (SCHAZ) and coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) are the most vulnerable sites to corrosion fatigue cracking. The CGHAZ of the Q690qE steel weld joint was prone to corrosion fatigue initiation mainly because of micro-galvanic corrosion between CGHAZ and weld metal (WM). The corrosion fatigue failure in SCHAZ mainly resulted from local stress/strain concentration due to weld softening. The final fracture location was determined by the competition between these two effects.
