(Reference material)

METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL OF WELDED JOINTS (according to GOST 6996)

Methods for determining the mechanical properties of the welded joint as a whole and its individual sections, as well as the deposited metal for all types of welding of metals and their alloys, are regulated by GOST 6996;

The standard establishes methods for determining mechanical properties for the following types of tests:

a) testing the metal of various sections of the welded joint and the deposited metal for static (short-term) tension;

b) testing the metal of various sections of the welded joint and the deposited metal for impact bending (on notched specimens);

c) testing the metal of various sections of the welded joint for resistance to mechanical aging;

d) measuring the hardness of the metal of various sections of the welded joint and deposited metal;

e) testing the welded joint for static tension;

f) testing the welded joint for static bending (bending);

g) impact testing of the welded joint.

Tests carried out in determining the quality of products and welding consumables, the suitability of welding methods and modes, in establishing the qualifications of welders and the indicators of weldability of metals and alloys, must comply with the requirements of the standard. The choice of types of tests, types of samples and methods used is provided for in the standards and specifications for products.

Sampling

Test specimens are taken from samples cut directly from the controlled structure or from control joints specially welded for testing.

If the shape of the welded joint precludes the possibility of manufacturing samples of this type (parts of complex configuration, pipes, etc.), then samples can be taken from specially welded flat control joints.

When making control joints, the nature of the preparation for welding, the brand and thickness of the base metal, the grade of welding materials, the position of the seam in space, the initial temperature of the base metal, the welding and heat treatment conditions must fully comply with the conditions for manufacturing the controlled product or the special purpose of the test.

Welding of control joints intended for testing welding materials (electrodes, welding wires, filler rods, fluxes, etc.), if there are no special requirements, is carried out with cooling between the application of individual layers. The temperature to which the metal must cool is set by the standard or other technical documentation.

The dimensions of the plates for the manufacture of control joints are determined by the requirements indicated below.

For control joints performed by arc, electroslag and gas welding of flat elements, the width of each welded plate, unless otherwise specified in the standards or other technical documentation, must be at least:

50 mm - with metal thickness up to 4 mm;

70 mm - with a metal thickness of St. 4 to 10 mm;

100 mm - with a metal thickness of St. 10 to 20 mm;

150 mm - with a metal thickness of St. 20 to 50 mm;

200 mm - with a metal thickness of St. 50 to 100 mm;

250 mm - with a metal thickness of St. 100 mm.

The width of a control joint made of round or shaped steel must be at least two diameters or two element widths.

The length of the welded edges of the plates is determined by the size and number of samples to be manufactured, taking into account repeated tests, allowances for the width of the cut and subsequent processing, and with the addition of the length of unused sections of the seam. The dimensions of unused areas are taken equal to:

in manual arc welding with coated electrodes and gas welding - at least 20 mm at the beginning and at least 30 mm at the end of the weld;

in automatic and semi-automatic welding with any type of protection, except for flux, with a metal thickness of up to 10 mm - at least 15 mm at the beginning and at least 30 mm at the end of the weld, and with a metal thickness of more than 10 mm - at least 30 mm at the beginning and at least 50 mm at the end of the seam;

in automatic and semi-automatic submerged arc welding at a current of up to 1000 A in electroslag and arc welding with forced formation - at least 40 mm at the beginning and at least 70 mm at the end of the weld;

in automatic submerged arc welding at a current of more than 1000 A - at least 60 mm at the beginning of the seam.

The length of the unused section at the end of the seam for this case is taken equal to the length of the crater of the seam (the section having an incomplete section).

The dimensions of the plates for control joints performed by welding methods not indicated above are established by the relevant technical conditions.

In cases of plate welding with the use of attachment strips for the output of the beginning and end of the weld, it is possible to take samples along the entire length of the control joint. Attached strips are made from the same material as the plates.

The length of the attachment strips must be at least the size of the unused sections of the seam.

The dimensions of the samples cut from the controlled structure are determined by the number and dimensions of the samples.

During oxygen cutting of samples, their dimensions are determined taking into account the allowance for subsequent machining, which ensures the absence of metal that has undergone thermal influence during cutting in the working part of the samples.

It is recommended to cut blanks for samples from samples and control compounds on machine tools. It is allowed to cut blanks on scissors, dies, oxygen, plasma, anode-mechanical and other cutting methods.

An allowance for the size of the workpiece, which ensures the absence of a metal sample with properties changed as a result of cutting in the working part, is assigned depending on the cutting method. The minimum value of the allowance should be:

with a metal thickness of up to 10 mm: oxygen and plasma cutting - 3 mm, mechanical, including anode-mechanical cutting, - 2 mm;

with a metal thickness of more than 10 to 30 mm: oxygen cutting - 4 mm, plasma cutting - 5 mm, mechanical, including anode-mechanical cutting, - 3 mm;

with a metal thickness of more than 30 to 50 mm: oxygen cutting - 5 mm, plasma cutting - 7 mm, mechanical, including anode-mechanical, - 3 mm;

with a metal thickness of more than 50 mm: oxygen cutting - 6 mm, plasma cutting - 10 mm, mechanical, including anode-mechanical, - 3 mm.

When cutting blanks for samples from metal, in which properties in the working part of the sample do not change under the influence of cutting, it is allowed to reduce the allowances indicated above, but not more than two times.

The allowance for cutting methods not listed above must be specified in the regulatory and technical documentation for this type of product or for the sampling method.

In the manufacture of samples, it is necessary to take measures to exclude the possibility of changing the properties of the metal as a result of heating or work hardening that occurs during machining.

On samples, control joints and blanks from rolled sheets and pipes, the direction of rolling of the base metal in relation to the seam should be indicated.

Editing the control compound or a sample taken from the controlled structure is not allowed. It is allowed to edit finished samples outside their working part. When testing welded joints from pipes, the admissibility of straightening samples is stipulated by standards or other technical documentation.

If there are no other instructions in the standards or other technical documentation, then the deflection arrow f over a length of 200 mm (Fig. 1) should not exceed 10% of the thickness of the metal, but not more than 4 mm.

Sheet plane mismatch h in butt joints (Fig. 2) should not exceed 15% of the sheet thickness, but not more than 1 mm.

Heat treatment, if it is stipulated by the normative and technical documentation, is carried out before the finishing processing of the samples. Heat treatment may be applied to samples, control compounds or blanks for samples cut from them. In the case of normalization or hardening, heat treatment of specimen blanks is not allowed.

Heat treatment of control compounds or sample blanks is preferably combined with heat treatment of the controlled product. The procedure for conducting heat treatment in the manufacture of samples from materials with s in more than 1000 MPa (100 kgf / mm 2) is established by regulatory and technical documentation.

Stamping of samples, control joints of blanks and finished samples can be done in any way so that the stamp is located outside the working part of the sample and remains on it after testing.

Test conditions and evaluation of their results

Samples that have deviations from the drawing dimensions in terms of the cleanliness of processing, as well as mechanical damage in the working part, are not allowed for testing and are replaced by the same number of new samples made from the same sample or control compound. If the dimensions of the sample or control joint exclude the possibility of making new samples, a new sample is cut or a new control joint is welded.

If the results of mechanical tests comply with the requirements of standards or other technical documentation, in all cases, except for arbitration tests, it is allowed to use samples with a lower surface roughness class.

Unless otherwise specified in standards or other technical documentation, static tensile and static bending tests are carried out on at least two samples; tests for impact bending, for resistance to mechanical aging and impact rupture - at least on three samples; hardness measurement - at least at four points for each welded joint. If the dimensions of the welded joint exclude the possibility of placing four points, then it is allowed to reduce their number in accordance with the real possibilities.

The results for all types of tests are determined as the arithmetic mean of the results obtained from testing all samples. If there are no indications in the relevant standards or other technical documentation, then for all types of tests, except for tests for static bending and when measuring hardness, it is allowed to reduce the test results for one sample by 10% below the standard requirement if the arithmetic mean result meets the standard requirements. The permissible reduction in the results of testing samples for static bending and when measuring hardness should be specified in the relevant standards or other technical documentation. When testing for impact bending, the permissible decrease below the regulatory requirements is set to no more than 5 J / cm 2 (0.5 kgf × m / cm 2).

Tests of the welded joint for static bending and tension, as well as impact rupture and hardness measurements are carried out at normal temperature equal to 20 ± 10 °C. The temperature of the sample is taken equal to the temperature of the room in which the tests are carried out. Tests of metal of various sections of the welded joint and deposited metal for static (short-term) tension, impact bending (on notched specimens), as well as tests for resistance to mechanical aging are carried out at normal temperature or as required, specified in the relevant standards or other technical documentation, at high or low temperatures. When testing at a low or high temperature, the temperature of the sample is assumed to be equal to the temperature of the medium in which heating or cooling is carried out. In this case, it is allowed to determine the temperature on the witness samples.

The test results are considered unsatisfactory if they do not meet the requirements set forth above, or crystallization or cold cracks are found in the fracture of the sample, or on its surface (except when the presence of cracks is allowed by the relevant regulatory and technical documentation). If the results are unsatisfactory, the tests are repeated on twice the number of samples. If a sample whose test results are considered unsatisfactory has defects in the base metal or welded joint (except for cracks), it is excluded from the assessment and replaced with one new sample.

The overall test results are determined from the readings obtained from repeated tests. The results of the retests are final.

Testing the metal of various sections of the welded joint for resistance to mechanical aging

Resistance to mechanical aging is characterized by a change in the impact strength of the metal subjected to aging in comparison with its impact strength in the initial state. The resistance of a metal against mechanical aging is judged by the ratio of these values ​​expressed as a percentage or by the absolute (normative) value of impact strength after aging. Tests are carried out for the weld metal and various sections of the metal of the near-weld zone.

The blanks are subjected to artificial aging according to the method: tensile deformation based on obtaining (10 ± 0.5)% residual elongation within the estimated length l, limited by cores or risks. It is recommended to apply risks on the surface of the samples every 10 mm to check the uniformity of deformation along the length of the calculated part.

Welded joint test for static bending

Tests are carried out for butt joints. The test determines the ability of the connection to take a given size and shape of the bend. This ability is characterized by the bending angle but(Fig. 36), in which the first crack is formed in the stretched zone of the sample, which develops during the test. If the length of cracks that occur during testing in the stretched zone of the sample does not exceed 20% of its width, but not more than 5 mm, then they are not a rejection feature. The place of formation of a crack or destruction is also determined (for the weld metal, the metal of the near-weld zone or the base metal).

Depending on the requirements established by the relevant regulatory and technical documentation, tests are carried out until the standardized bending angle or bending angle is reached, at which the first crack, which is a rejection indicator, is formed, until the sides of the sample are parallel or touch. The bending angle during the test before the formation of the first crack is measured in an unstressed state with an error of up to 2 °.

Samples of types XXVIa XXVIIa and XXVIIIa, the thickness of which is less than the thickness of the base metal, may be cut out in different sections of the cross section of the welded joint. Different regulatory requirements are established for the test results of samples of different types.

The convexity of the weld on both sides of the sample is removed mechanically to the level of the base metal with a roughness of up to 6.3 microns. In the process of removing the thickening, unless otherwise indicated in the regulatory and technical documentation, undercuts of the base metal are also removed. Plane thickening with samples of types XXVI and XXVIa should be along, and with samples of types XXVII, XXVIIa, XXVIII and XXVIIIa - across the seam. It is allowed to plan the thickening in any direction with the subsequent removal of the scratches. In addition to samples within their working part, they must be rounded with a radius of 0.1 of the sample thickness, but not more than 2 mm, by smoothing with a file along the edge.

Test specimens of types XXVI and XXVIa are carried out as indicated in Fig. 39, types XXVIIa and XXVIII - to hell, 40, type XXVIIIa - to hell. 40a. Distance between supports TO(Fig. 40) should be equal to: for samples of type XXVII - 2.5 D, for samples of type XXVIIa -D + 3a, for samples of type XXVIII - 3D. The distance for samples of types XXVI and XXVIa is indicated in Fig. 39, and type XXIIIa - to hell. 40a.

A prerequisite for testing is the smooth increase in the load on the sample. Tests are carried out at a speed of not more than 15 mm/min on testing machines or presses using support rollers.

Mandrel diameter D may vary depending on the steel grade, sheet thickness, heat treatment method and must be specified in the relevant regulatory and technical documentation. In the absence of special instructions, the diameter of the mandrel is assumed to be equal to two thicknesses of the base metal. Support corner radius r for samples of types XXVI, XXVIa, XXVII and XXVIIa choose according to the table. 15. For samples of type XXVIII r= 25 mm. For specimens of type XXVIIIa, the radius has not been established.

Table 15

If the specified bending angle exceeds 150°, then after bending according to the scheme shown in Fig. 39, 40, 40a, the bend can be continued between two parallel pressure plates. A spacer with a thickness of d, equal to the diameter of the mandrel (Fig. 41). After the gasket has been removed, the test is carried out until the sides touch.

For one-sided butt welds, according to the requirement specified in the standards or other technical documentation, the widest surface or root section of the weld is located in the stretched zone. In the absence of special instructions, the surface of the seam should be located in the stretched zone.

If there are no other indications in the standards or other technical documentation, then for double-sided butt welds in the tension zone, for all types of samples, except for XXVIIIa, the second weld is placed. For samples of type XXVIIIa, the entire section of the weld falls into the stretched zone. When welding multilayer double-sided butt welds with a transverse overlap of passes, the side where the last pass was made is located in the stretched zone.

Connections with a backing seam are one-sided. Tests of butt joints of pipes for bending with a transverse (circular) location of the seam are carried out on samples with a thickening removed from the outside.

For a pipe diameter of £ 20 mm, specimens in the form of pipe segments are used.

With a pipe diameter of more than 20 to 45 mm, samples are used in the form of a pipe segment or flat (segment) samples.

With a pipe diameter of more than 45 mm, flat (segment) samples of types XXVII, XXVIIa and XXVIII are used, their dimensions are indicated in Table. 14. Samples are not straightened. Their shape in cross section is determined by the natural curvature of the pipe.

Testing of pipes with a diameter of 60 mm or less with transverse (circular) and longitudinal seams can be carried out on the samples shown in Fig. 42 or 43. The thickening of the seam on the outside of the pipe is mechanically removed to the level of the base metal.

Type XXIX

Type XXX

On samples cut from pipes made by butt welding, the flash must be removed from the outer and inner sides of the pipe to the level of the base metal.

The results of testing samples of types XXIX and XXX are determined by the value b(Fig. 44) when a crack appears on the sample surface. The nature of the crack must correspond to that indicated earlier.

If a crack does not form, the test is carried out until the sides come into contact.

The test is carried out by deformation of the sample under a press with a compressive load.

A prerequisite for the test is the smooth increase in force on the sample. The test speed shall be as specified above.

When testing samples with a circular seam, the latter is placed along the axis of application of the compressive load (Fig. 45), and when testing a sample with a longitudinal seam, the seam is placed in a diametrical plane perpendicular to the action of the compressive load (see Fig. 44).

If there is a longitudinal weld in the test specimen for the circumferential weld, it shall be located outside the tension zone.

Testing of connections of rods of circular or multifaceted section in the absence of regulatory and technical documentation and other requirements is carried out on the following samples:

with a diameter of the rod or a diameter of a circle inscribed in a polyhedral section £ 0 mm, segments of a natural joint with a removed thickening are tested;

with a diameter of a rod or an inscribed circle of more than 20 to 50 mm - pieces of a natural joint with a removed thickening or flat samples of type XXVIIa, the thickness of which is taken equal to half the diameter of a round rod or a circle inscribed in the section of a polyhedral rod;

with a diameter of the rod or a circle inscribed in the section of the polyhedron of more than 50 mm - flat samples of type XXVIIa, the thickness of the base metal of which is taken equal to half the diameter of the round rod or the circle inscribed in the section of the polyhedron.

In all cases, the working length of the sample must be ³ 250 mm, and the radius of curvature of the polyhedron faces is equal to 01 of the sample thickness, but not more than 2 mm.

Impact testing of a welded joint

The shock tensile strength test is carried out for welded butt joints of sheets up to 2 mm thick. .

The shape and dimensions of the sample must correspond to the drawing. 46. ​​When testing high-strength materials, it is allowed to change the design of the gripping part of the sample.

The test is carried out on pendulum impact testers with a device for fixing flat specimens. Specific shock work is determined by the formula:

where A y- impact work spent on sample rupture, J (kgf×m); V- the volume of the calculated part of the sample, equal to the product of the thickness of the base metal ( but) for the estimated length and width of the sample, cm 3 (m 3).
