Recent discoveries of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) at nickel-based metals in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs) have raised concerns about safety and integrity of plant components. It has been recognized that welding residual stress is an important factor causing the issue of SCC in a weldment. In this study, both numerical simulation technology and experimental method were employed to investigate the characteristics of welding residual stress distribution in several typical welded joints, which are used in nuclear power plants. These joints include a thick plate butt-welded Alloy 600 joint, a dissimilar metal J-groove set-in joint and a dissimilar metal girth-butt joint. First of all, numerical simulation technology was used to predict welding residual stresses in these three joints, and the influence of heat source model on welding residual stress was examined. Meanwhile, the influence of other thermal processes such as cladding, buttering and heat treatment on the final residual stresses in the dissimilar metal girth-butt joint was also clarified. Secondly, we also measured the residual stresses in three corresponding mock-ups. Finally, the comparisons of the simulation results and the measured data have shed light on how to effectively simulate welding residual stress in these typical joints.

Heat Treatment Method

The article analyzes the results of a study of the influence of zonal heat treatment on the structure of welded joints of pipeline elements made of titanium alloys Ti-3.5Al-1.5Mn. In the manufacture of such structures, the TIG welding method is used to join pipe elements, after which the heat treatment method can be used to relieve residual stresses. The experiments have confirmed the effectiveness of zonal heat treatment preceded by welding. It was revealed that for welded joints made of titanium alloys, heat treatment can stabilize the structure. In experiments conducted by the method of optical metallography, the structure of heat treated and untreated welded joints was investigated. The influence of heat treatment on the weld structure and heat-affected zone was identified.

Fatigue Design

Residual stress may have a significant effect on the fatigue strength of welded joints. As a non-fluctuating stress, it has an effect similar to that of the mean stress. Recently the International Association of Ship Classification Societies (IACS) has issued Common Structural Rules (CSR) for respectively tankers (IACS 2006a) and bulk carriers (IACS 2006b). The effect of mean stress in fatigue design is taken into account in both sets of rules. However, the treatment is quite different, in particular with regard to residual stress and shakedown effects. In the present paper a comparative study of fatigue design procedures of the IACS rules is reported, with emphasis on residual stress effects. Testing was carried out with longitudinal attachment welds in the as-welded condition. The initial residual stress was measured by a sectioning method using strain gages. Hot spot stress was determined experimentally by strain gauges and numerically by finite element analysis using different types of elements. Fatigue testing was carried out and SN-curves were plotted according to the relevant stress as specified by the rules. In order to investigate the shake-down effect of residual stress, testing was performed for several pre-load conditions which could be taken to represent maximum load levels in a load history. The aim of the study is to contribute towards better understanding of the effect of residual stress and shakedown on fatigue strength of welded joints.

Quantitative Consideration

The developments in the field of residual stress determination during the last decades have contributed to a better understanding of the origins and sources of residual stresses in different engineering disciplines. The many investigations concerning the behavior of residual stresses under mechanical loading have also provided a solid foundation to clarify the important aspects of residual stresses and fatigue. The question that arises now is if this available body of knowledge is being used effectively in the field of welding technology to design and construct structures with better fatigue performances. In this paper the necessity of the development of the concept residual stress engineering for welds in which wanted residual stress states are tailored for specific cases by appropriate means will be discussed. The possibilities of the quantitative consideration of the benefits in the fatigue design codes will be presented in a practical example.
