Residual Stress, Microstructure and Hardness of Thin-Walled Low-Carbon Steel Pipes Welded Manually

The aim of this work is to evaluate the welding residual stress profile in ASTM A106 Gr. B steel pipes with 4" diameter and to correlate this profile with the microstructure and hardness of the joint. The results showed that the residual stresses are more uniform for a lower welding heat input....

description The aim of this work is to evaluate the welding residual stress profile in ASTM A106 Gr. B steel pipes with 4" diameter and to correlate this profile with the microstructure and hardness of the joint. The results showed that the residual stresses are more uniform for a lower welding heat input. Higher welding heat input causes not only a non-uniformity of the stress profile but also promotes the maximum stress as high as the yield strength. The microstructure was composed of ferrite, perlite and possibly bainite; the presence of martensite was not verified. The hardness results indicated that none of the welding parameters used produced levels of hardness greater than 249 HV. Such a result is of fundamental importance because it suggests that low hardness does not necessarily mean low residual stress levels.
