Fatigue Crack Propagation Characteristics of Duplex Stainless Steel Weldments (I)

이상계 스테인리스강 용접부의 피로크랙 전파특성 (I)

Fatigue crack propagation of duplex stainless steel weldments was studied to develop further phenomenological understanding of the influences of welding heat cycle accompanying microstructural changes. Fatigue tests were carried out under constant amplitude of load in air at room temperature. The results showed that the crack propagation rate was different in base metal, heat affected zone and welding line. The crack propagation behavior in each part of duplex stainless steel was strongly dependent on phase ratio(.gamma../.alpha.) and several factors of microstructure also affected this propagation behavior. The fractographic feature in each part of steel were discussed on crack propagation behaviors.

본 연구에서는 이상계 스테인리스강에서 문제시되고 있는 용접부에 대하여 용 접시 입열에 의한 영향이 큰 용착금속부(fusion line), 용접열영향부(HAZ)의 기계적, 금속조직적 변화와 관련하여 크랙전파특성을 규명하고 주사현미경(SEM)을 이용한 피로 파면을 고찰하였다.
