Abstract
The influence of centerline segregation on the low-temperature impact toughness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of welded joints was studied by welding experiments on X70 steel plates rolled from continuous casting slabs with segregation grades of class 2 and class 3. The experimental results show that the impact toughness at HAZ from class 2 slab steel plate is more stable and has excellent low-temperature toughness than that of class 3 slab steel plate. The impact toughness of the HAZ of the class 3 slab steel plate is low to 100 J at −40 °C and has a severe fluctuation range (~150 J), and the delamination phenomenon is also observed in the fracture cross-section. The reason for this phenomenon is due to the enrichment of C and Mn elements in the centerline segregation zone. The formation of abnormal microstructure (martensite/bainite) in the segregation zone leads to stress concentration, which easily weakens the low-temperature toughness of the joint.
