摘要
In this study, microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of martensitic steel P92 and AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel (ASS) dissimilar metal weld (DMW) have been examined. The welding was performed using the multipass gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The ERNiCrMo-3 (Inconel 625) filler metal was used due to its excellent compatibility with the P92 and AISI 304L ASS metals. The microstructure characterization performed with an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope revealed the presence of an unmixed zone in the form of beach, peninsula, and island at the base metal and weld fusion zone interface. Secondary phases enriched with Nb and Mo, and migrated grain boundaries (MGBs) were also observed at the weld fusion zone. The microstructural characterization at the P92 side revealed the presence of a soft ferrite zone and delta ferrite at the weld and P92 interface. The different peak temperature experienced by the P92 metal during the welding process results into the formation of three distinct zones with diverse mechanical and microstructural properties namely coarse grain heat affected zone (CGHAZ), fine grain heat affected zone (FGHAZ), and inter-critical heat affected zone (ICHAZ). The post weld heat treatment (PWHT) at 760 degrees C for 2 h followed by air cooling was performed to homogenize this heterogeneous microstructure formed toward the P92 side. It was observed that this PWHT does not have any significant effect on weld fusion zone and 304L SS heat affected zone (HAZ) microstructure. But, PWHT modifies the microstructure of P92 side HAZ. The tensile test, Vickers micro-hardness test, and charpy impact test were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the DMW. The tensile strength was found as 587.709 MPa in the as-welded condition and 594.515 MPa in PWHT condition. The tensile test results indicated that specimens were failed from 304L stainless steel (SS) base metal (BM) in as-welded and PWHT condition. The charpy impact toughness test results showed that the toughness of the weld joint was very low in as-welded and PWHT condition (47J) compared to the P92 (190J) and SS 304L (285J) BM. From the microhardness examination, it was observed that the ICHAZ was the weakest zone among all the other regions due to its lower micro-hardness value compared to the other regions. After welding process, residual stresses were measured in as-welded and after PWHT condition at the center of the weld and at the HAZ of P92 and SS 304L (through the thickness of the plate) using experimental-based deep hole-drilling (DHD) strain-gauge method. The results showed that both circumferential (hoop stress) and axial (longitudinal stress) welding residual stresses were decreased after PWHT.
