Abstract

In order to investigate the solidification cracking susceptibilities of SUS347H weld metal containing high niobium and carbon contents, the crystallisation behaviours of niobium carbide as well as those of and γ phases during welding solidification were numerically analysed to compare with the results from in situ observations of the behaviour of the phase selection for γ, and niobium carbide phases for Fe–18Cr–0·2C–1Nb–(5–12)Ni weld metals. The in situ observation was carried out during tungsten inert gas welding using synchrotron radiation. On the other hand, to evaluate the segregation in liquid phase, which has significant influences on the solidification cracking susceptibility, a numerical model to calculate the segregation in liquid phase considering the crystallisation of γ, and niobium carbide phases was developed. The developed numerical model was verified by the comparison with experimental results from the in situ observation. It was suggested that the solidification cracking susceptibilities of Fe–18Cr–0·2C–1Nb–(5–12)Ni weld metals estimated from the results of the developed numerical model coincided with the experimental results evaluated by transverse Varestraint test.
