摘要
In present paper, the effects of electron beam welding (EBW) parameters and post-weld heat-treatment conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CuCrZr alloy as the candidate for next-generation waveguide in thermonuclear fusion reactor were investigated using microstructural characterization and mechanical tests. On this basis, the underlying formation mechanism of joint and influence of EBW parameter on the microstructure and properties of joint were revealed. The results show that the joints of CuCrZr allows are composed of heat-affected zone (HAZ), fusion zone (FZ) and weld zone (WZ). The HAZ can be further divided into fine grain HAZ (FGHAZ) and coarse grain HAZ (CGHAZ). The best ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of joint obtained in current study reaches 333 MPa, meeting the ITER requirement of waveguide weldment (>280 MPa). The post-weld heat treatments are utilized to modified the microstructure and residual stress distribution of joint. The UTS of joint with heat-treatment at 500 ℃ for 12 h is increased to 408 MPa, about 22.3% higher than the joint without heat treatment. The Cr precipitation in WZ is facilitated by the heat treatment, contributing to the precipitation hardening. © 2023 Central South University of Technology. All rights reserved.
