Summary
This paper shows a novel method to incorporate the transient work-hardening effect
of different material phases into a thermo-mechanically coupled structural weld
process simulation. The work-hardening behaviour of metals differs for "soft"
ferritic-perlitc and "hard" bainitic, or even martensitic, phases. Previously conducted
experimental work revealed that a soft material phase or rather a high operating
temperature are mainly related to isotropic work-hardening, though the hard phased
microstructure and accordingly ambient operating temperature are closer equated to
a combined work-hardening.
An enhanced methodology to implement the temperature- and phase-dependent
work-hardening into structural weld process simulation is given. A longitudinal
stiffener is chosen as a three-dimensional application example. The change in
transient work-hardening is evaluated both for common construction steel S355J2G3
and high-strength steel S700MC. The simulated residual stress state after welding,
unclamping and final cool-down is characteristically affected by the material dependent
transient work-hardening behaviour. Finally, the effect of cyclic loading
is depicted for selected loads in the finite-life fatigue region of the longitudinal
stiffener specimen.
