Abstract
The increasing demand for eco-friendly energy has led to a rise in the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, necessitating materials with superior mechanical and fatigue performance at cryogenic temperatures. High manganese steel has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional cryogenic steels due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, research on its fatigue performance, particularly in hybrid laser arc welding (HLAW), remains limited. This study evaluates the fatigue performance of HLAW joints in high manganese steel and compares the results with those from other welding processes. Comprehensive fatigue tests, including fatigue crack propagation analysis, were conducted to assess the fatigue resistance of the weldments. The results demonstrate that HLAW weldments exhibit superior fatigue resistance and mechanical properties compared to conventional arc-welded joints. These findings confirm the suitability of HLAW for LNG applications with high manganese steel, offering improved weld quality and increased productivity.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; underwater acoustics; ocean remote sensing; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; subsea engineering; and specialized watercraft engineering.
