Influence of Weld Parameter on Penstock Joint of B610CF-16MnR Steel

Abstract:

Weld parameter is an important factor affecting micrographic structure and mechanical properties of weld joints. It was investigated by metallographic experiments and mechanical property experiments for the influence of weld heat input on dissimilar steel weld joint of penstock using B610CF and 16MnR steel in water conservancy and hydropower engineering using shielded metal arc welding method and mixed active gas arc welding method. Metallographic experimental results show that in weld metal with the increase of weld heat input the quantity of bainite decreases and crystalline grain is larger when using the same welding method; but in both B610CF and 16MnR steel heat affected zone, there is no distinct difference in microstructure. Mechanical property experimental results show that in weld metal with the increase of weld heat input the impact toughness decreases when using the same welding method, but in both B610CF and 16MnR heat affected zone, there is less difference in impact toughness; and there is no distinct difference in tensile strength and plasticity of weld joint. So moderate weld heat input is recommended.
