Dissolution of Carbide Particles at the Heat Affected Zone of Laser Welded tow Carbon Steel

초록

Metallurgical behavior of laser welded cold rolled low carbon steel was investigated. Welding was performed with CW Nd:YAG laser system. Applied laser power, travel speed and nitrogen blowing pressure were 720W CW, 17mm/s and 196kPa, respectively. According to the test results, many carbide particles were observed on the base metal surface that was polished and etched with nital solution. The carbide particles at the welding heat affected zone were thought to be dissolved during welding process. Microstructural inspection revealed that dissolved carbide particles formed mixed phase of very fine martensite and bainite. Test results also demonstrated that the hardness of matrix remained constant value of around 160Hv over the welding heat affected zone. Dissolved carbide particles, however, showed higher average hardness values of around 276Hv near the fusion boundary and 700Hv at the welding heat affected zone of 0.4mm apart from the fusion line. It was considered that care should be given to minimize the test error when measuring the hardness value since many of the dissolved particles were so small that it was not easy to aim the indentor of the testing machine just on the objects.
