摘要:The welding residual stress of reactor pressure vessel’s(RPV)supporting ring and cylinder welded mockup with a thickness of 300 mm was investigated with the finite element method,and the stress was measured with the hole-drilling method to validate the simulated result. The investigated results shows that the through-thickness radial stress distribution within the weld zone presents a self-equilibrating distribution,and the through-thickness hoop stress within the weld zone is almost tensile stress with the peak tensile stress occurring at a certain depth beneath the surfaces and a minimum stress appears near the mid-thickness. The location where the minimum hoop and radial stress appears at the weld centerline is decided by the weld metal height of the second welding step for the welding procedure used in the present study. In addition,a large stress change occurs near the top surface of the weld metal after the first welding step due to the strong stiffness of the mockups.

摘要:At present,the domestic mainstream nuclear power reactor type is the second-generation pressurized water reactor type. The nozzle and safety end of the key equipment are welded with different types of steel welded joints. The joint type is: the surfacing of stainless steel isolation layer(ER309L+ER308L) is conducted at the nozzle end, and then the butt welding of stainless steel welding consumables(ER308L) and stainless steel safety end is conducted. The metallurgical structure,impact properties,micro Vickers hardness distribution,micro-curve energy spectrum and fracture morphology of 16MND5/309L side bond line of 16 MND5/309L/308L/Z2CND18-12N dissimilar steel welded joints made by domestic second generation nuclear power technology are analyzed. The results show that the impact performance of the 16MND5/309L side bond line is generally low,and there are brittle fractures in some areas. The brittle fracture is generally located in the martensite zone near the bond line,mainly along the crystal fracture,and the overall distribution of the martensite zone is not uniform,and the width range has no obvious rule. The hardness value of the 16MND5/309L side bond line is the highest,and the hardness value reduces towards both sides of the 16MND5/309L interface,and a significant hardness reduction area appears near the bond line(about 0.5~1 mm) on the 16MND5 side. The carbon migration and brittle transition layer(martensite zone) at the interface of 16 MND5/309L are obvious,and a recarburization layer and a decarburization layer are formed on both sides of the bond line,resulting in a serious decline in the impact toughness of the 16MND5/309L side bond line.

The effect of defocus distance on the semiconductor laser nitriding of TC4 titanium alloy is studied. Other procedure parameters remain unchanged,the laser nitriding tests of TC4 titanium alloy is carried out by using 5 mm,10 mm,15 mm and 20 mm defocus distance respectively,the surface and cross-section appearance of nitriding layer are analyzed,the hardness of nitriding layer is measured,the microstructure of nitriding ed layer is photographed,the contrast friction test of nitriding sample and TC4 matrix is conducted. The results show that semiconductor laser can nitride on the surface of TC4 titanium alloy,when the defocus distance increases,the size and hardness of nitriding layer decrease,and the comprehensive performance deteriorate. Under the experimental condition of this study,the comprehensive performance of laser nitriding layer by 5 mm defocus distance is optimal,its maximum nitriding layer thickness is 610 μm,the nitriding layer has the characteristic golden color of TiN,the maximum surface hardness of nitriding layer can reach 982 HV,which is significantly higher than of TC4 substrate(350 HV),the wear test under the same conditions results in a mass loss of 0.2 mg for the nitriding sample and 1.78 mg for the TC4 substrate.

摘要:Composite structures of copper and stainless steel are often used in nuclear island cooling system. Copper conducts heat quickly,the heat generated by the nuclear reaction can be rapidly transferred to the stainless steel tube through copper. The cooling medium introduced into the stainless steel tube takes away the heat immediately to ensure the safety of the nuclear power system.Therefore,the welding quality of copper and stainless steel pipes plays an important role in the nuclear island cooling system. The welding procedure design of vacuum brazing of T2 pure copper and 316L austenitic stainless steel tube is conducted. For the joints with high precision gap,silver-copper eutectic solder is used,and brazing is carried out under vacuum of 8×10-3 Pa with heat preservation of 830 ℃ for 30 min. Microstructure observation and performance analysis of brazed joints are studied by shear test,metallographic microscope,micro-hardness test,thermal shock test,scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). The result shows that stainless steel and copper are successfully joined together and the brazing seam is dense. The microstructures in the middle area of the brazing seam are copper-based solid solutions and silver-copper eutectic. The shear strength of brazed joints can reach 176 MPa. The shear fracture location is in the brazing seam,and the fracture type is ductile fracture.
摘要:In this paper,the distribution of residual stresses in both transversal and longitudinal directions of the welds on the inner and outer walls of HPR1000 main pipe is studied by means of hole release method. The results show that the distribution trend of the measured values of the inner and outer walls of the specimens is tensile stress in the weld zone and heat-affected zone,and the value far away from the weld gradually decreases. Because of the large wall thickness of the pipeline,and deformation superimposed after layer by layer welding,the residual stress on the outer wall of the test piece is marginally high. The residual stress in the center of the weld seam of the inner wall reaches 100 MPa to 150 MPa. And the residual stress in the center of the outer weld of the repair weld reaches 150 MPa to 200 MPa.
摘要:Due to the complementary advantages of structure and performance,copper-stainless steel pipe composite components play an important role in the cooling system of nuclear reactor equipment. In view of the complex and difficult vacuum diffusion welding process of Cu-stainless steel in the nuclear island cooling system,the welding process is designed and the formulation of the performance study scheme,the performance evaluation and microstructure observation are carried out,which is helpful to solve the existing problems in welding. In this experiment,the method of adding Ni as the intermediate layer of coating is adopted. The vacuum diffusion welding of copper and stainless steel is carried out at a certain temperature,pressure and vacuum degree. The mechanical properties of the cop-stainless steel joint are evaluated by shear test and hardness measurement. The microstructure and diffusion bonding process of the joint are analyzed by ZEISS microscope,SEM scanning electron microscope and EDS. Through the random sampling analysis and comparison of the welded joints,it is found that the welded joints obtained by the diffusion welding test still have defects such as insufficient joint and unbalanced performance,and the welding process needs to be further optimized.

摘要:Based on 1.8 mm thickness 304 and 430 dissimilar stainless steel sheets,the three-dimensional finite element model for heat source of friction stir welding is established by using numerical simulation software COMSOL. The temperature field distribution of friction stir butt welding of 304 and 430 dissimilar stainless is analyzed, and the effects of the rotation speed and welding speed of FSW tool on peak temperature are studied. The results show that peak temperature of the heat source center rises when the rotation speed of FSW tool increases but decreases when the welding speed increases. When rotation speed is 800 r/min and welding speed is 15 mm/min,the peak temperature increases rapidly at first and then reach the steady value of about 1 040 ℃ which appears in the rear side close to heat source. The expansion of temperature in 430 backside area is larger than taht in 304 advancing area,showing a more uniform temperature distribution. The predicted temperature filed based on finite element method shows agreement with the measured value.

摘要:Aiming at the macroscopic and mesoscopic causes of hot cracking in the 7075 aluminum alloy plasma-MIG hybrid welding process. Fishbone cracking test was applied to test the welding hot cracking sensitivity. 7075-T6 aluminum alloy sheet with 4 mm thickness was welded by Plasma-MIG hybrid welding method using ER5356 aluminum alloy wire with φ1.2 mm diameter. The brittle temperature range(BTR) of the 7075-T6 aluminum alloy was measured and the hot cracking tendency was evaluated. Combing macroscopic thermoelastic-plastic method and mesoscopic crystal plastic finite element method, the numerical simulations results show that a slight strain difference will lead to the different hot cracking sensitivity, so the appropriate adjustment of the strain difference is proposed to optimize the welding process.

摘要:Macroscopic examination,micro-morphology analysis,metallographic examination,Brinell hardness and micro-Vickers hardness test were carried out for the fillet weld of the steam turbine high pressure inner cylinder drain pipe. The results showed that there were continuous incomplete penetration defects at the root of the fillet weld between the drain tube and the cylinder block,and the Brinell hardness and local microhardness of weld,heat affected zone were high,especially near the fracture surface of weld generally higher,the microhardness at the abrupt change of weld shape in the impermeable position was the highest,where the main crack originated. The reason for the fracture of the drain pipe was the improper welding control,continuous incomplete penetration defects were occurred at the root of fillet weld,which leaded to stress concentration. Under the long-term high temperature environment and high circumferential stress,the crack initiated at the abrupt change of the weld shape in the incomplete penetration position and extended to the outer wall and circumferential direction,resulting in the fracture failure of the joint. Attaching importance to and controlling welding quality and taking effective measures to eliminate welding residual stress was the key to avoid such problems. The analysis results of this paper are of great significance to the safe operation of power station steam turbine.
