Effects of Weld Heat Input on Microstructures of Coarse Grain Heat-Affected Zone of Bearing-Nb HF Steel Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effects of weld heat input on microstructures of coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) were taken into account for bearing-Nb HF steel plate. For weld heat input from 12 to 20KJ/cm, grain boundary ferrite, degenerate pearlite and acicular ferrite are produced for steel plate with the Si/Mn ratio of 0.26. For higher input, bainite phase is found at the center of specimens. However, for the steel with the Si/Mn ratio of 6.2, granular bainite is dominant at weld heat input from 12 to 20KJ/cm. For further improving the weld heat input to 24KJ/cm, bainite nucleation at prior austenite grain boundaries is suppressed in the considered steel. Nb addition has obvious influences on microstructure.
