The invention discloses a
welding joint micro-area fatigue performance testing method, and belongs to the technical field of
material fatigue performance testing. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, determining a micro-area
microstructure of a
welding joint through metallographic phase or
electron back scattering
diffraction, measuring the length and width of the micro-area, then carrying out a micro-area
mechanical property auxiliary test, obtaining
hardness and
residual stress distribution, and determining whether the micro-area is reasonably divided or not; preparing a fatigue sample which is completely positioned in the micro region; performing
cyclic loading on the sample, and synchronously recording mechanical response and fatigue life data; establishing a corresponding relation between
macroscopic stress and micro-area stress based on
test data, and drawing a micro-area S-N curve; and finally, integrating the micro-area fatigue performance and initial performance distribution, and analyzing a multi-scale correlation mechanism among
microstructure evolution, micro-area performance and macroscopic failure. According to the method, the fatigue performance of the local weak area of the
welding joint is accurately represented, the limitation of traditional macroscopic overall evaluation is broken through, and a new method is provided for service life prediction and
process optimization of a welding structure.
