In this paper, LCF properties were conducted on the welded joint at di erent temperatures for bainite steel, and the failure mechanism was systematically discussed.Fatigue parameters derived from fitting curves indicated that welded joint had worse plastic deformation resistance and experienced more significantly strain hardening e ect at 300 °C. The joint failed in the weld metal at room temperature, which attributed to the softening in weld metal combined with cyclic strain hardening e ect in heata ected zone, which meant the joint was more sensitive with the hardness at this condition. When it came to 300 °C,more cracks appeared near to HAZ and the heterogeneous distributed surface inclusion was responsible for the fracture transition to HAZ adjacent to bainite steel rather than the softest zone in HAZ, reflecting the joint was more sensitive with the surface inclusion at 300 °C. This research could support the design on loading of welded component at di erent temperature, and further ensure the safe operation.展开更多

In order to investigate particle migration behavior, a numerical model was established on laser welding of ZL101-TiB2 composite. TiB2 migration coupling with fluid was realized. The volume-of-fluid （VOF） method was employed to track free fluid surfaces. The travel heat source was realized utilizing the workpiece mo- tion in place of heat source motion, which made the heat load stable. Melting and evaporation enthalpy, recoil force, surface tension and buoyancy were considered in this model. Through the calculation it showed that the simulated weld cross section shape and particle distribution were in good agreement with experimental results.展开更多
