摘要: 采用Gleeble-3800热模拟试验机对T92钢进行不同峰值温度的焊接热循环试验,并对试验试样进行室温冲击韧性试验.借助光学显微镜分析其微观组织,用扫描电镜观察其冲击试样断口形貌特征.结果表明,T92钢焊接加热温度在900℃以上易因奥氏体晶粒粗大导致其组织脆化,断口呈现典型的准解理形貌特征,而在900℃以下的焊接加热仍能保持较好的室温冲击韧性,断口呈现均匀细小的韧窝断口特征;T92钢中高含量的强碳、氮化物形成元素高温状态重新固溶后,在奥氏体中的扩散速度滞后于晶界的迁移速度,进而产生过饱和的室温组织是引起组织脆化的直接原因.Abstract: The welding thermal cycles with different peak temperatures for T92 steel were measured with the Gleeble-3800 thermal simulation test machine, and then the specimens were tested with charpy notch in room temperature. Microstructures and its charpy impact fracture morphologies of the thermal simulation specimens were observed using optical microscopy and SEM. The results show that micro-structural brittleness can occurr easily for austenite crystal grain when welding temperature higher than 900℃ and quasi-cleavage fracture displays clearly. While the excellent ambient temperature impact toughness could be maintained when welding temperature below 900℃ with the fine uniform ductile fracture displaying. The micro-structure brittleness was resulted from high content of strong carbide and nitrogen formation elements which solid dissolved in austenite under high temperature and then the diffusion speed being slower than the speed of grain boundary migration, thus formed room temperature over-saturation micro-structure.
