Abstract

The polarization curve test and corrosion fatigue test of SMA490BW weathering steel welded joints for high-speed train bogies were carried out by electrochemical workstation and fatigue testing machine, respectively, and the fatigue fractures were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that: The mechanical properties of the SMA490BW weathering steel welded joints welded by MAG welding are good, the tensile strength is 519MPa, and the elongation after fracture is 26.67%. In 3.5wt% sodium chloride solution, the self-corrosion potential of the heat-affected zone is the lowest, the self-corrosion current density is the largest, and the corrosion resistance is the worst, the weld is in the middle, and the base metal is the best. The corrosion fatigue limit of SMA490BW weathering steel welded joints in 3.5wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution is 236.55MPa, which is much lower than the fatigue limit of 335.22MPa in air. SEM fracture analysis showed that the fatigue cracks of the joints in the air originated from the weld pores, while the corrosion fatigue cracks originated from the pitting pits on the surface of the specimens.
