Simulation of Structure Formation Processes of Dissimilar Steels Welded Joints Using an Intermediate Layer

Abstract:

This paper shows the results of solving a 3D problem to define types of structures and tensions which can appear during the butt contact welding process of dissimilar steels through low carbon steel inserts. The finite element method to calculate welded structures was used. The thickness of inserts was the main variable parameter. According to the results of numerical simulation using inserts can increase the reliability of welded joints between pearlitic high-carbon steel and austenitic chromium-nickel steel. The best result was obtained by using an insert with a thickness less than 20 mm. Structural studies of the welded joints between high-carbon steel and chromium-nickel steel through low-carbon inserts confirm the results of mathematical modeling.
