Creep Rupture of Mismatched Welded Joints of Steels with Dissimil ar Creep Strengths

摘要

The finite element analysis of mismatched welded jo ints with a 30°groove angle was performed to study the mechanical behavior of D MWJs (dissimilar metal welded joints). It is concluded that the distribution of stress triaxiality in the DMWJs is uneven, especially near the fusion lines. The degree of creep strength mismatch has remarkable effect on the distribution. Th e higher the level of mismatch is, the more uneven the distribution is and the e asier for premature failure to occur in the joint.
