Abstract

12Cr10Co3W2MoNiVNbNB (Co3W2) is a new type of martensitic heat-resistant steel, which is mainly used in high-temperature dynamic, static blades, high-temperature bolts and other components of ultra-supercritical steam turbines. The Co3W2 steel was joined by vacuum electron beam welding, and the microstructures of the joints were analyzed. The hardness, tensile strength and impact toughness of the joints were investigated. The results show that the joints mainly consist of weld metal, fusion-line, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and base metal, the microstructure of the weld metal is a coarse martensite. The hardness of the weld metal is about 326 HV higher than that of the base metal, and the tensile strength of the joints is 939 MPa, which can reach 98.63% of base metal. The impact absorbed energy of weld metal is such that the weakest part of the welded joints during the impact process is about 18.5 J.
