振荡激光-TIG双丝复合焊制备异种钢窄间隙接头组织与性能分析

Analysis of microstructure and properties of narrow-gap dissimilar steel joints fabricated by oscillating laser-TIG twin-wire hybrid welding

  • 摘要: 低合金钢与奥氏体不锈钢的高质量连接是核电接管安全端制造的关键环节.两类材料理化性能差异显著,窄间隙多道焊热循环易加剧界面组织失配与应力集中,影响接头综合性能.文中围绕此问题开发了振荡激光-钨极氩弧焊(tungsten inert gas welding, TIG)双丝复合焊技术,以Inconel 52M镍基合金为填充金属、Inconel 690为过渡层,实现了40 mm厚SA508Ⅲ/316LN窄间隙接头高质量焊接.宏观成形方面,窄间隙接头无宏观焊接缺陷且异种金属界面间呈连续冶金结合.显微组织分析表明,Inconel 690/SA508Ⅲ界面具有非共格异相特征,且元素过渡区不足.该界面存在显著的晶体结构和材料硬度失配,SA508Ⅲ侧局部应力集中,因而成为整个接头的薄弱区.接头在室温及350 ℃条件下的抗拉强度分别为609 MPa和475 MPa,断后伸长率分别为24%和28%,低温冲击功为202.4 J,断口呈典型塑性断裂特征.研究为异种钢窄间隙高效高质量连接提供了新的技术路径.

     

    Abstract: High-quality joining of low-alloy steel and austenitic stainless steel is a critical step in the fabrication of nuclear power nozzle safe ends. Significant differences in the physical and chemical properties of these materials, together with the thermal cycles associated with narrow-gap multi-pass welding, can exacerbate interfacial microstructural mismatch and stress concentration, thereby affecting the overall performance of the joint. To address this issue, an oscillating laser–tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding twin-wire hybrid welding technique was developed in this study. High-quality narrow-gap joints of 40 mm thick SA508Ⅲ/316LN dissimilar steels were fabricated using Inconel 52M nickel-based alloy as the filler metal and Inconel 690 as the transition layer. In terms of macroscopic formation, the narrow-gap joint is free of macroscopic welding defects, and continuous metallurgical bonding is formed at the dissimilar metal interfaces. Microstructural analysis reveals that the Inconel 690/SA508Ⅲ interface is an incoherent heterophase interface with an insufficient elemental transition zone. Pronounced mismatches in crystal structure and hardness exist at this interface, and local stress concentration occurs on the SA508Ⅲ side, making it the weakest region of the joint. The joint achieves tensile strengths of 609 MPa and 475 MPa at room temperature and 350 ℃, with corresponding elongations after fracture of 24% and 28%, respectively. The low-temperature impact energy reaches 202.4 J, and the fracture surfaces exhibit typical ductile fracture features. This study provides a novel technical route for efficient and high-quality narrow-gap joining of dissimilar steels.
