mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperature
and the fracture morphology of dissimilar welded joints between HP-Nb M heat-resistant steel and 15CrMo steel
Cr18Ni10Ti stainless steel were analyzed by the optical microscope
electronic universal testing machine
and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the microstructure change occurs in the heat-affected zone of 15CrMo
and the ferrite-pearlite structure transforms into the ferrite-martensite structure. Much α-phase precipitates in the heat-affected zone of Cr18Ni10Ti stainless steel. The yield strength of these two welded joints is higher than the base metal
but the percentage elongation after fracture is lower. Under high temperature
higher tensile strength of these two welded joints was obtained with the increase of strain rate.
