Study of the Solid-State Joining Process for Endless Hot Rolling

Abstract:

In this study, the joint strength and microstructure of carbon steels welded by an super-deformation joining process in air were investigated. The two block of model steels are overlapped and heated. The steels are welded with 1000% deformation at approximately 1000°C.The joint strengths are evaluated by uniaxial tension testing. The joint microstructures and fractured surfaces are investigated with OM and SEM. The results revealed that the mechanical properties of joint are close to the matrix’s, the grains adjacent to the interface are merged into one grain, which indicates that both blocks are soundly joined,fracture surface was covered with dimple indicating ductile fracture occurred. Joint fracture behavior is initiated by the brittle fracture of scale inclusions and growth around the internal oxides. Surface scale is the most important factor of sound joining.
