The influence of nanoscale refractory titanium carbide particles on the structure and properties of weld metal in automatic submerged arc welding is considered. Composite granules based on nickel were used to introduce the compound into the composition of the weld pool. Two schemes for introducing granules into the weld pool were tested, characterized by different temperature conditions: to the head part of the welding pool with the help of “ligature” and to the tail section with the help of additional filler wire. The prospects of introducing nano-sized titanium carbide into the tail part of the weld pool as part of a flux-cored wire are shown. With this method, the structure of the weld metal is observed to modify: the average size of the primary crystals of the weld metal is reduced by almost 50%. At the same time, the value of the toughness of the weld metal increases: the average value of this index increases by 36%. When titanium carbide is introduced as part of the “ligature” into the head of the weld pool, despite the effect of modifying (reducing the width of the primary crystals by 30%), the average value of the toughness of the weld metal decreases.

Up to now, two kinds of filler metal with or without nickel element for submerged arc welding have been largely used in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) manufacturing. In order to study the effect of nickel element on weld metal properties of SA-508 Gr.3 Cl.1, submerged arc welding material with nickel (AWS classification F8P4-EGN-F2N, F2 for short) and welding material without nickel (F8P4-EA3N-A3N, A3 for short) were used; and conventional mechanical properties, low-cycle fatigue test, and proton irradiation analysis of the two weld metals were studied. Results show that the mechanical properties of the two different weld metals are similar, except that the Charpy V-notch impact property of the weld metal with nickel is better than that without nickel; the micro-structures of F2 and A3 weld metals are both composed of ferrite base and granular bainite, but the columnar grain size of F2 weld metal is smaller relatively, which results in better impact property. In addition, the irradiated A3 weld metal has fewer dislocation loops than the irradiated F2 weld metal after the same proton irradiation dose; the irradiated weld metals both have higher micro-Vickers hardness than before.
