Abstract
Based on the practical application requirements, the weld rotor was chosen as a preferable candidate to adapt to the higher steam temperature. In this study, the rupture behavior and fracture mode for the 9% Cr-CrMoV dissimilar welded joints are investigated. The specimens both rupture in the heat affected zone of CrMoV steel with a ductile rupture mode. The rupture time of the specimen under lower stress at higher temperature is shorter than that under higher stress at lower temperature. Additionally, the microstructure observation shows that the increased temperature can accelerate the precipitation and growth of the second phase particles. The micro-voids caused by these particles can reduce the ductility of the welded joint and resultantly lead to the premature fracture.
