Analysis of Crack Tendency in Vacuum Electron Beam Welding Joints of 45 Steel Ultra-thick Composite Billets
The 45 steel composite billet was sealed and fabricated by vacuum electron beam welding method. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the electron beam joint at different positions (1# arc
2# middle and 3# arc closure) were analyzed by means of metallography microscope (OM)
scanning electron microscope (SEM)
Vickers hardness tester and impact testing machine. The results show that: When the welding position changes from the arc starting point to the arc retracting point
the joint penetration depth is almost constant
and the heat affected area decreases gradually. After welding
the cooling rate of the 1# joint is relatively slow
no crack occurs at the root of the weld
the structure is a mixture of acicular martensite and clumpy trotensite
the hardness (HV) is 588
the impact energy of the weld root is 25.7J
and the fracture is ductile. After welding
the cooling rate of the 2# and 3# samples is high
and obvious transgranular cracks appear at the root of the weld
and the microstructure is acicular martensite. With the acceleration of the cooling rate after welding
the number of martensite increases and the size becomes finer. The hardness (HV) increased to 674 and 729
respectively
and the impact property decreased to 18J and 13.7J
