Abstract

Phase field modelling is used to simulate austenite grain growth in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of an X80 linepipe steel. The HAZ experiences a very steep temperature gradient during welding which restricts grain growth. In addition to this phenomenon known as thermal pinning, austenite grain growth is affected by pinning due to precipitates and their potential dissolution.

Grain growth has first been simulated for bulk samples subjected to rapid heating conditions to replicate thermal cycles at various positions in the HAZ. Effective grain boundary mobilities are introduced that are consistent with strong pinning at lower temperatures and weak pinning at higher temperatures. These two temperature regimes are separated by the estimated dissolution temperature of fine NbC precipitates. These mobility relationships are then used to predict austenite grain growth in the HAZ using typical time–temperature profiles.

Keywords: Phase field; Heat affected zone; Grain growth; Effective mobility; Low carbon steel
