WEI Shitong, JIANG Haichang, LU Shanping. Research on fatigue property of the welded joints of Q345E steel plate for express freight car bogie[J]. Eletric Welding Machine2020, 50(1): 105-108.DOI: 10.7512/j.issn.1001-2303.2020.01.20.
Q345E steel plates for express freight car bogie were welded by metal active gas arc welding(MAG) welding method. After post weld nondestructive testing
the fatigue performance tests of the qualified welded joints were carried out. According to the test results
the fatigue S-N curve of the welded joint was drawn up
the fatigue limit and standard deviation of the welded joint were determined by lifting method. The fatigue failure mechanism of the welded joints was determined by fracture surface analysis of fatigue specimens.The results show that the porosity and slag defects in the weld have significant impacts on the fatigue properties of the welded joints
which will become the initial positions of fatigue cracks and deteriorate the fatigue properties of the welded joints.
