“…It should be pointed out that residual stress in the welded rotor was reduced significantly after post weld heat treatment in terms of XRD measurement [27]. In addition, the welding residual stress in welded CT specimen will be further released after the fabrication of initial notch and the stress relief heat treatment [2,28].…”

“…Currently, the welding rotor is gradually prevalent for its saving cost and flexibility [3,4]. Narrow gap submerged arc welding (NG-SAW) method is chosen to manufacture welding rotor for high production rate and low production cost [5,6]. However, in the reliability evaluation of equipment, fracture failure has become one of the main problems affecting the reliability of equipment.…”
The microstructure and fracture toughness of weld metal under Ti-free and Ti-containing different fluxes were investigated in this study. It was found that the trace element Ti of flux in submerged arc welding produced significant influence on the fracture toughness. The addition of 60 ppm Ti induced the sharp increase in J 0.2 value from 232.78 to 364.08 kJ/m 2 . Microstructure characterization revealed that a large number of oxide inclusions prompted the nucleation of acicular ferrites and refined grains, which improved the fracture toughness of Ti-containing weld metal greatly. Moreover, the crack propagation path was more tortuous and bifurcated due to the small amount of carbide precipitations along grain boundaries and blocky martensite-austenite islands for Ti-containing weld metal. Meanwhile, the large-angle grain boundaries caused crack deflection and increased the resistance of crack propagation compared to Ti-free weld metal.
“…Such joints are normally produced using conventional fusion welding processes [12], high power beam techniques [11,13,14] and advanced friction stir welding [15]. Nowadays, narrow gap submerged arc welding (NG-SAW) is applied on largescale rotor steels manufacture increasingly owing to its low cost and high efficiency without losing weld quality [16,17].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
