Effect of Nanoparticles on the Structure and Properties of Welds Made of High Strength Low-Alloy Steels
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2016, Vol 60, Issue 6
Abstract
The article presents test results concerning the structure of welds made of high strength low-alloy steel 14HGNDC which, in the molten state, was provided with nanoparticles of various refractory compounds including oxides, carbides and nitrides (TiC, TiN, SiC, VC, NbC, TiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO and ZrO₂). The performed tests revealed the effective use of the nano-oxides of titanium (TiO₂) and zirconium (ZrO₂) enabling the obtainment of high mechanical properties of the weld metal (Rm –708 MPa and 621 MPa, KCV-₂₀ – 60 J/сm2 and 72,9 J/сm2, a – 21 and 19%). The use of a Gleeble 3800 welding cycle simulator made it possible to determine the dependence between temperature ranges of transformations, amount of structural constituents and types of modifying nanoparticles.
