Figure 6 Figure 6 Figure 6

[0085] Test Example 3

[0086] According to the Metallographic Microstructure Test Method (GB / T 13298-91), the metallographic microstructure of the welded joints after the repair welding of Examples 1, 4 and Comparative Example 1 was tested after polishing and etching, and the metallographic microstructure photographs of the repair welded zone were obtained as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that when the interpass temperature of the repair welding is 100°C (a), 150°C (b) and 200°C (c), that is, in the cold repair welding and hot repair welding two welding processes, the repair welded zone (RWZ) and the original welded zone (OWZ) of the repair welded joints are reasonably arranged, the weld layer thickness is controlled to be moderate, no cracks are generated in the repair welded zone, the original weld and the welding heat affected zone; the fusion line between the base material and the repair welded zone and the repair welded zone and the original welded zone is clear, no incomplete fusion and incomplete penetration occurs between the weld layers, and no welding defects such as pores and slag are generated on the weld metal cross section, which meets the requirements of GB / T226-2015.

From OWZ to RWZ, the content of Fe element decreases sharply on both sides of the fusion zone interface, and a transition layer is found beside the fusion boundary. The element transition in this area is also relatively steep. This area is the so-called dilution layer. It can also be found from the figure that a large amount of austenitizing elements such as Ni, Cr, and Mn enter the fusion zone, which can help to increase the austenitizing stability and increase the hardening tendency of the area.

[0140]

[0141] As can be seen from Tables 4-6, the special-shaped member of P91 steel is repaired by the multi-layer and multi-pass repair welding method under the conditions of inter-pass temperature of 100-150℃ and welding line energy of 10-20kJ / cm, which effectively reduces the residual stress of the welded joint. After the repair welding is completed, the post-weld internal stress is further reduced by knocking the repair welding part and the surrounding area. The "synergistic effect" caused by the dendritic morphology and precipitate morphology of the weld metal in the repair welding zone makes the energy threshold required for the nucleation, development and expansion of micro-cracks different, and thus the repaired joint can maintain high strength and toughness, thereby realizing the optimization of the residual stress of the weld metal in the repair welding zone, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the repair welding seam and the fusion zone, and further improving the reliability and service life in the subsequent high-parameter power plant service process.

[0142] Test Example 11

[0143] According to the "Hardness Test Method for Welded Joints" (GB / T 2654-2008), the special-shaped member in Example 7, Example 8 and Comparative Example 4 was subjected to micro Vickers hardness test by using a HVS-10 type Vickers hardness tester, and the hardness curve distribution is shown in Figure 23 Figure 23 ​a, 23b, 23c correspond to the interpass temperature of 100℃, 150℃, 200℃ respectively.

[0144] According to the above method, the micro Vickers hardness test was carried out on the profiled members in Example 7, Example 9 and Example 10, and the hardness curve distribution is shown in Figure 24 , Figure 24 a, 24b, 24c correspond to the welding line energy of 10kJ / cm, 15kJ / cm, 20kJ / cm respectively.

[0145] According to the above method, the micro Vickers hardness test was carried out on the profiled members in Example 7 and Comparative Example 5, and the hardness curve distribution is shown in Figure 25 , Figure 25 a, 25b correspond to no wind pick hammering after welding and wind pick hammering respectively.

[0146] Test Example 12

[0147] According to the Charpy impact test method of metal materials (GB / T 229-2007), the Charpy impact test was carried out on the profiled members in Example 7, Example 8 and Comparative Example 4, and the Charpy impact results of the repair welding joints at each position are shown in Figure 26 , Figure 26 a, 26b, 26c correspond to the interpass temperature of 100℃, 150℃, 200℃ respectively. In the figure, WM represents the welded metal, FL represents the position at the fusion line, and FL+2 represents the position at +2mm outside the fusion line.

[0148] From Figure 26 a, 26b, it can be seen that the impact toughness of the repair welding seam center at the interpass temperature of 150℃ is better than that at the interpass temperature of 100℃, which is mainly due to the fact that the increase of the interpass temperature is beneficial to reduce the residual stress at the welding seam, thereby having a certain improvement effect on the impact toughness; and by comparing 26a, 26b and 26c, it can be seen that the impact toughness of the repair welding seam center at the interpass temperature of 100℃ and 150℃ is better than that at the interpass temperature of 200℃, that is, the impact toughness of the repair welding seam center after cold repair welding of the welding seam of the profiled member by using the repair method of the present application is better than that after hot repair welding; this is because the hot repair welding seam mainly has lath martensite structure, and there are large phase change stress and restraint stress in the welding seam, while the cold repair welding has no phase change, and there is no phase change stress in the welding seam only the restraint stress.

[0149] According to the above method, the Charpy impact test was carried out on the profiled members in Example 7, Example 9 and Example 10, and the Charpy impact results of the repair welding joints at each position are shown in Figure 27 . Figure 27a, 27b, and 27c correspond to welding heat inputs of 10 kJ / cm, 15 kJ / cm, and 20 kJ / cm, respectively. As can be seen from the figure, under all three heat inputs, the center of the weld repair maintains relatively high impact toughness, while the fracture toughness is lowest at the fusion line and +2 mm outside the fusion line due to localized high strength, low plasticity, and the material's restraining effect.

[0150] Charpy impact tests were conducted on the irregularly shaped components in Example 7 and Comparative Example 5 according to the above method, and the Charpy impact results at various locations of the welded joints were obtained as follows: Figure 28 As shown. Figure 28 a and 28b correspond to no pneumatic hammering after welding and pneumatic hammering, respectively. As can be seen from the figure, the average impact absorption energy at +2mm outside the fusion line after pneumatic hammering is 58.3J, which is about 50J higher than the average impact absorption energy of the repair weld joint without treatment. This is mainly because the residual stress in the heat-affected zone of the weld is released by the hammering and extrusion, so the impact toughness of this area is significantly improved.

[0151] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: This application adopts a multi-layer, multi-pass welding method to repair the welded joints of P91 steel irregular components under the conditions of interpass temperature of 100-150℃ and welding line energy of 10-20kJ / cm, effectively reducing the residual stress of the welded joints; after the repair welding is completed, the post-weld internal stress is further reduced by tapping the repair welding area and its surroundings. The "synergistic effect" caused by the dendritic morphology and precipitate morphology of the weld metal in the repair welding area makes the energy threshold required for the nucleation, development and propagation of microcracks different, thereby enabling the repaired joint to maintain high strength and toughness. This achieves the optimization of the residual stress of the weld in the repair welding area, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the repair weld and the fusion zone, thereby improving the reliability and service life of high-parameter thermal power plants during subsequent operation.

[0152] The repair method described in this application has the advantages of simple process, easy operation, low cost and high repair efficiency. It does not require post-weld heat treatment and can reduce post-weld stress by hammering. It is especially suitable for repairing large workpieces and has the advantages of convenient operation, energy saving and environmental protection. It also has good repair effect on both large and small cracks.
