Evaluation of Weld-induced Residual Stresses in S690 Steel

2013
Student Projects

Abstract

The objective of this project is to analyse welding processes in high strength low-carbon steel grade S690 in numerical simulation with MORFEO codes and in experiments with a Gleeble® thermo-mechanical simulator instrument. The influence of phase transformation on residual stresses is investigated with simulations on plate to plate and on tube to plate connections. Furthermore, this study investigates the effects of element activation on numerical results and the possibilities to simplify multi-pass welding by lumped models. In addition to literature based descriptions of temperature depending steel properties, experimental tests are conducted to survey the behavior of steel grad S690 at elevated temperatures.

Residual stress

In materials science and solid mechanics, residual stresses are stresses that remain in a solid material after the original cause of the stresses has been removed. Residual stress may be desirable or undesirable. For example, laser peening imparts deep beneficial compressive residual stresses into metal components such as turbine engine fan blades, and it is used in toughened glass to allow for large, thin, crack- and scratch-resistant glass displays on smartphones.

Structural steel

Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Most structural steel shapes, such as -beams, have high second moments of area, which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and thus can support a high load without excessive sagging.

Carbon steel

Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40%; or the specified maximum for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.
