Abstract
To investigate the effect of weld induced residual stresses on the crack performance, standard compact tension specimens were cut into two pieces, then joined to form welded specimens under various welding conditions. The crack opening displacement was measured by digital image correlation technique. It is found that specimens welded in the opposite direction show smaller crack opening displacement than those welded in the same direction. The crack opening displacement decreased as the distance from the crack tip to the center of weld line was increased from 8 mm to 30 mm. The crack opening displacement of the specimens with 30-minute time interval was lower than that of the specimens without interval, regardless of welding directions.
Kurzfassung
Um den Effekt der Schweißeigenspannungen auf den Rissverlauf zu untersuchen, wurden Standard-Kompaktzug-Proben in zwei Teile geschnitten und anschließend verbunden, um mit verschiedenen Parametern geschweißte Proben zu erhalten. Die COD-Werte wurden mittels digitaler Bilderfassung gemessen. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Proben, die in gegensätzlicher Richtung geschweißt wurden, kleinere COD-Werte aufwiesen, als die Proben, die in gleicher Richtung geschweißt wurden. Die COD-Werte nahmen ab, wenn die Entfernung der Rissspitze von der Schweißnahtmitte von 8 mm auf 30 mm erhöht wurde. Der COD-Wert der Proben, die mit einem Zeitintervall von 30 Minuten geschweißt wurden, war niedriger als der der ohne Zeitintervall hergestellten Proben, unabhängig von der Schweißrichtung.
