低温环境下高强钢低匹配接头疲劳性能与韧脆转变行为

Fatigue performance and ductile-to-brittle transition behavior of undermatched high-strength steel joints in low-temperature environments

  • 摘要: 针对极端低温环境下海洋及极地工程焊接结构的服役安全问题,对10CrNi3MoV高强钢低匹配(under matched,UM)焊接接头开展了室温(room temperature,RT)及低温(−20 ℃,−40 ℃和−60 ℃)条件下的低周疲劳试验研究.结合显微组织观察、单调拉伸试验、夏比冲击试验、应变控制低周疲劳试验和疲劳裂纹扩展试验,系统分析了温度对焊接接头循环应力响应、滞回行为、应变−寿命关系及能量−寿命关系的影响规律,并结合断口形貌讨论了低匹配接头的疲劳韧脆转变行为.结果表明,随温度降低,低匹配接头呈现循环软化与非Masing特征;其疲劳裂纹萌生抗力相对较低;半寿命塑性应变能密度可有效表征低温下接头的疲劳寿命;低匹配接头的疲劳韧脆转变温度约为−40 ℃,高于冲击韧脆转变温度.研究可为极地船舶与海洋工程结构的抗疲劳设计提供试验依据.

     

    Abstract: To address the service safety issue of welded structures in marine and polar engineering under extreme low-temperature environments, low-cycle fatigue tests on undermatched (UM) welded joints of 10CrNi3MoV high-strength steel were conducted at room temperature (RT) and low temperatures (−20 ℃, −40 ℃, and −60 ℃). Microstructural observation, monotonic tensile tests, Charpy impact tests, strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests, and fatigue crack growth tests were combined to systematically analyze the effects of temperature on the cyclic stress response, hysteresis behavior, strain–life relationship, and energy–life relationship of the welded joints, and the fatigue ductile-to-brittle transition behavior of the undermatched joints was discussed in combination with fracture morphology. The results show that with the decrease of temperature, the undermatched joints exhibit cyclic softening and non-Masing characteristics; their fatigue crack initiation resistance is relatively low; the plastic strain energy density at half-life can effectively characterize the fatigue life of the joints at low temperatures; the fatigue ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of the undermatched joints is approximately −40 ℃, which is higher than the impact ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. The study provides an experimental basis for the fatigue-resistant design of polar ships and marine engineering structures.
