摘要

The occurrence of cracks in – normally welded – components with safety relevance in, e.g.nuclear installations or in the(petro-)chemical industry, is not an unusual event.In most cases such cracking is detected in periodic inspections prior tocomplete failure of the component.Sometimes a detected defect necessitates repair of the damaged component to facilitateits further operation.Repairing of a crack would normally be performed by excavating of the material surrounding the crack and subsequent fillingof the excavation by welding.However, such a repair welding process leaves the component in a sensitive state in that itgenerates a complicated residual stress pattern and that the heat affected zone of the weld might become very susceptible tothe formation of new cracking.Post weld heat treatment of a repaired component can be an option to mitigate the damaging impact of the welding process.Through heat treatments residual stresses can be severely reduced or redistributed to obtain stress fields around the welddeemed less detrimental.At the same time a heat treatment process could positively influence the HAZ sensitivity for furthercracking.In any case, a thorough assessment of the welding process is necessary to ensure a safe continued operation of therepaired component.In this context letterbox repair welds applied to thin ferritic steel plates to simulate repair of postulated shallow cracks havebeen manufactured.The excavations of postulated cracks for these experiments were filled with 20 to 30 welding passes.Components have been made available in the as welded state and after the application of PWHT.Two different heat treatmentprocesses are compared: a.a full scale treatment, where the entire test piece has been subjected to an elevated temperaturefor several hours in order to significantly reduce the residual stresses, and b.an alternative treatment whereby the heat isapplied locally for a short period of time in order to redistribute the stresses in a controlled manner.In this paper the experimental determination of these residual stresses in the as welded and in the heat-treated states ispresented.Such measurements have been performed by neutron diffraction at the High Flux Reactor (HFR) of the JointResearch Centre of the European Commission in Petten, the Netherlands.The principle of residual stress measurements by neutron diffraction is introduced and the particular considerations forperforming such measurements in multi-pass butt welds are briefly outlined .The experimental approach is presented andexplained and an outline is given on the data analyses.Results are depicted in the form of comparison between the asreceived and the heat treated stress states.The derived data facilitate conclusions on the effects and effectiveness of theapplied heat treatments and they also demonstrate that neutron diffraction is a very suitable tool for non-destructive analysis ofinternal residual stress fields in such welded components of considerable thickness.In addition, the method is well suited forthe validation of predictive numerical models.
