Most of ferrous b.c.c weld materials may experience martensitic transformation during rapid cooling after welding. And it is well known that volume expansion due to phase transformation could influence in the case of welding of high tensile strength steels on the relaxation of welding residual stress. To apply this effect practically, it is a prerequisite to establish a numerical model which is able to estimate the effect of phase transformation on residual stress relaxation quantitatively. In this study, we investigated the effect of phase transformation on the relaxation of welding residual stress through experiment. And three-dimensional thermal elastic-plastic FEM analysis is conducted to reproduce the effect of phase transformation on the relaxation of welding residual stress. Also we carried out the analysis of welding residual stress in welds of similar or dissimilar steels considering the effect of residual stress relaxation due to phase transformation.

In this study, we investigated the variations in welding residual stresses in dissimilar metal butt weld due to width of repair welding and re-distribution behaviors resulting from similar metal welding (SMW) and mechanical loading. To this end, detailed two-dimensional axi-symmetric finite element (FE) analyses were performed considering five different repair welding widths. Based on the FE results, we first evaluated the welding residual stress distributions in repair welding. We then investigated the re-distribution behaviors of the residual stresses due to SMW and mechanical loads. It is revealed that large tensile welding residual stresses take place in the inner surface and that its distribution is affected, provided repair welding width is larger than certain value. The welding residual stresses resulting from repair welding are remarkably reduced due to SMW and mechanical loading, regardless of the width of the repair welding.

The induction heating bending process, which has been recently applied to nuclear piping, can generate residual stresses due to thermomechanical mechanism during the process. This residual stress is one of the crack driving forces that have important effects on crack initiation and propagation. However, previous studies have focused only on geometric shape variations such as the change in thickness and ovality. Moreover, very few studies are available on the effects of process variables on residual stresses. This study investigated the effects of process variables on the residual stress distributions of induction heating bended austenitic stainless steel (316 series) piping using parametric finite element analysis. The results indicated that the heat generation rate and feed velocity have significant effects on the residual stresses whereas the moment and bending angle have insignificant effects.

Welding is essential in ship production since welding is very popular method for joining two or more metals. However, welding causes residual stress and distortion and these give a bad influence to the structure strength and assembly of ship blocks. Therefore, prediction and treatment of residual stress and distortion is a key to accuracy control in shipyard. In this paper, a computational procedure, based on thermal-elastic-plastic 3-dimensional FEA, has been suggested to simulate butt and fillet welding process. In the simulation process, temperature distribution at each time step is obtained by heat transfer analysis and then thermal deformation analysis is done with obtained temperature distributions to find the residual stress and distortion. In heat transfer analysis, enthalpy method is used to realize phase change at melting temperature. Also element birth and death method is used to simulate adding of weld metal in both heat transfer analysis and thermal elastic plastic analysis. The proposed procedure is verified by related researches and the results show good agreement with those of related researches.

활성금속 브레이징 방법으로 스테인레스 스틸과 질화규소를 접합하여 기계적 특성 및 유한요소법을 사용하여 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기를 조사하였다. 고강도 접합체를 제조하기 위하여 연성금속인 Cu 및 Cu/Mo 적층체를 중간재로 사용하였으며, 중간재의 두께 및 구조에 따라 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기 및 분포가 접합강도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다.중간재인 Cu의 두께가 0.2mm 일대 세라믹스에 발생되는 최대 잔류응력의 크기가 급격히 감소하였으며, 최대 접합강도가 나타났다. Cu/Mo 다층 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Cu/Mo 두께비가 감소할수록 접합강도는 증가되었다. 스테인레스 스틸/질화규소 접합체에서 Cu/Mo 중간재의 사용은 Cu 중간재 사용보다 접합강도를 증가시키는데 효과적이었으며, 최대 접합강도는 450Mpa 정도이었다. Cu/Mo 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Mo에 최대 인장방향의 잔류응력이 발생하여 강도 측정시 Mo의 지배적인 소성변형으로 잔류응력이 감소되어 접합체의 접합강도를 향상시키는 것으로 생각된다.

In pressurized water nuclear reactors (PWRs), the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) upper head contains penetration nozzles that use a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM). The penetration nozzle uses J-groove weld geometry. Recently, the occurrence of cracking in alloy 600 CRDM penetration nozzle has increased. This is attributable to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). PWSCC is known to be susceptible to the welding residual stress and operational stress. Generally, the tensile residual stress is the main factor contributing to crack growth. Therefore, this study investigates the effect on weld residual stress through different analysis methods for normal operating conditions using finite element analysis. In addition, this study also considers the effect of repeated normal operating condition cycles on the weld residual stress. Based on the analysis result, this paper presents a normal operating condition analysis method.

The purpose of this study is to predict the residual stress in Al6061 during T6 heat treatment. In this study, the variable residual stress in case of the solid solution($530^{\circ}C$, 2h) and artificial ageing($175^{\circ}C$, 9h) of Al6061 subjected to T6 heat treatment is determined at different ageing times. A heat treatment experiment is conducted to determine the heat transfer coefficient, on the basis of which the residual stress during the T6 heat treatment is predicted. In order to take into account the relaxation of residual stress during artificial ageing, a Zener-Wert-Avrami function is used and elasto-plastic nonlinear analysis is conducted through FE-simulation. Further, the residual stress is measured by using the X-ray diffraction(XRD) method, and the result is compared with the result from the FE-simulation. It is found that the residual stress predicted form the FE-simulation is in good agreement with the residual stress measured by using the XRD method.

석탄화력발전소의 CO2배출량 감소와 고효율, 대용량화로 인해 초초임계압(USC:Ultra Super Critical) 화력발전소의 건설이 증가하고 있다. USC 발전소는 효율향상을 위한 증기온도와 압력의 상승 때문에 보일러 고온고압부에 기존의 소재에 비해 고온강도와 내산화성의 재료물성이 향상된 신소재 적용이 불가피하다. 특히 사용된 신소재 중에서 보일러 본체를 구성하는 수냉벽관(Water wall), 과열기와, 재열기용 튜브 및 후육부인 헤더와 배관재로 기존의 2.25Cr-1Mo강을 개량한 2.25Cr-1.6W계 내열강이 적용되고 있다. 2.25Cr-1.6W강은 SMI와 MHI가 공동개발한 소재로 1995년 튜브제품이, 1999년에 단조, 파이프재, 플레이트제품이 ASME code case로 등재되었고, 2009년 ASME code case 2199-4로 개정되어 사용 중이다. 이 소재는 2.25Cr-1Mo강에 고온강도 개선을 위해 석출강화효과가 있는 V과 Nb을 첨가하였고, 탄화물의 열적안정성과 고용강화효과 증대를 위해 W을 첨가하였다. 그리고 제작성과 용접성 및 재료의 인성 향상을 위해 B첨가와 C함량을 낮추었다. 합금성분의 첨가와 조정에 의해 고온강도는 개선되었지만, 보일러 설치 및 보수를 위한 용접과정에서 용접금속과 CGHAZ(Coarse Grain HAZ)에서 용접균열이 발생하였다. 대부분의 용접균열은 용접결함이나 고온 혹은 저온균열이 아닌 2.25Cr-1.6W계강의 강도 개선을 위해 첨가한 V과 Nb이 용접후열처리 도중 입내에 MX형태의 미세석출로 입내를 강화시킴으로서 발생한 재열균열 민감성 증대에 기인된 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서 용접 및 후열처리 과정에서 용접금속과 HAZ에서 발생하는 용접금속의 응력분포를 전산해석을 통해 확인하고 실제 후육파이프 용접부에서 잔류응력을 측정해 비교하였다. 용접부 응력분포는 SYSWELD 프로그램을 사용해 해석을 수행하였고, 발전소 실배관재의 용접부 응력측정은 수평부 측정이 용이하도록 지그를 부착한 Potable 잔류응력측정기를 사용해 Hole Drilling Method(HDM)를 적용하여 잔류응력을 측정하였다. 해석 결과 CGHAZ부위의 잔류응력이 용접금속과 기타 부위에 비해 높은 응력분포를 나타냈으며, 이는 CGHAZ와 용접용융선 부근에서 균열이 발생하는 실제값과 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 실제 배관재 용접부에서 측정한 잔류응력값은 항복응력의 약 50% 이하 응력값을 나타냈다. 배관 구조에 기인한 시스템응력의 영향을 제거하기 위해 배관재 용접부를 중심으로 양끝단을 절단 후 용접부에서 측정한 응력은 항복응력 대비 25%수준의 낮은값을 보였다. 그러나 배관재가 장기간 고온환경에 노출되었고 용접금속 내부의 균열이 발생한 상태에서 측정하였기 때문에 용접잔류응력은 상당부분 해소되어 상대적으로 낮은 응력값이 얻어진 것으로 판단된다.

This article aims to analytically research for influence of residual stresses on bending moment responses against welded steel pipes subjected to quasi -static or dynamic loadings. The residual stresses of the welded steel pipe are computed by three-dimensional welding simulation. The bending moment responses of the welded and seamless steel pipes are determined by using three-dimensional dynamic elastoplastic FE analysis as a function of loading rate. It is seen from analytical results that the welded steel pipe shows lower moment response comparing to the seamless steel pipe, and moment difference between seamless and welded steel pipes tends to decrease as loading rate increases.
