Modification of Plasma Spurt Spraying on Improving Fatigue Property of Welded Joint

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present paper introduces a modification method of welded joint, plasma spurt spraying (MPSS), for improving the fatigue life of welding structure. Nickel-base alloy powder was used to spray the welded joint of Q235B steel. The high cycle fatigue tests of specimens treated by MPSS were carried out to obtain the S-N curves. Meanwhile, numerical simulation was performed to obtain the residual stress field after spraying. Test results show that the fatigue strength of welded joint by MPSS is higher than that of as-welded joint. Based on the test results and simulation results, it can be concluded that MPSS improves fatigue strength mainly through the decrease of stress concentration and residual stress.
