Abstract

High performance steel for bridges requires higher performance in tensile and yield strength, toughness, weldability, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the weldability of HSB 600 steel. The effects of heat input (1.4~3.2kJ/mm) and postweld heat treatment (PWHT, $600^{\circ}C$, 40hr.) on the TMCP HSB600 steel weldments made by GMAW process were investigated. The tensile strength and hardness of as-welded specimens decreased with increasing heat input. Charpy V-notch impact energy did not show any significant difference by postweld heat treatment. The fine-grained acicular ferrite was mainly formed in the 2.1kJ/mm of heat input while polygonal and side plate ferrites were dominated in the high inputs. Meanwhile, tensile strength and hardness of PWHT weldments decreased due to the coarsening and globularization of ferrite microstructure and reduction of residual stresses with increasing heat inputs. However, there was no significant difference in the impact energy absorption.

교량용 고성능 강재는 높은 인장강도, 항복강도, 고인성, 용접성등이 요구된다. 교량 구조용 강재인 TMCP HSB600강의 GMA용접부에서 입열량(1.4~3.2kJ/mm)과 용접후 열처리가 기계적 특성과 미세조직에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 용접된 상태에서는 입열량이 증가할수록 인장강도와 경도는 감소하였다. 입열량 1.4kJ/mm에서는 빠른 냉각 속도에 의해 베나이트적 페라이트와 탄화물 집합체 등의 경한 미세조직이 생성되었고 입열량 2.1kJ/mm에서는 침상형 페라이트가 다량 생성되었으며, 고입열량인 3.2kJ/mm에서는 입계페라이트 사이트 플레이트와 구형 페라이트가 많이 생성되었다. 용접 후 열처리를 통해 용접부의 잔류응력의 감소와 결정립 조대화로 인하여 인장강도와 경도는 감소하였으나 충격흡수에너지에는 큰 차이가 없었다.
