Postweld Heat Treatment of 15Cr-6Ni-2Mo-1Cu Supermartensitic Stainless Steel Welds
Supermartensitic stainless steels with 15Cr- 6Ni-2Mo-1Cu with 135 ksi minimum yield strength (15Cr-135 SMSS) offer high strength and good toughness through a complex hierarchical microstructure of nanoscale precipitates, tempered martensite, and reverted austenite. Upon welding and postweld heat treatment, substantial changes to heat-affected zone microstructure and hardness may occur. Here, we reveal spatially heterogeneous microstructure and microhardness in the HAZ of 15Cr-135 SMSS; correlate these changes to measured phase transformation temperatures; and demonstrate that HAZ hardness changes depend strongly on postweld heat treatment temperatures. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PWHT may lead to undesired reductions in base metal yield strength and formulate a design guide for PWHT that quantifies the trade-offs in desired reductions of HAZ hardness with undesired changes to base metal yield strength. These findings have important practical implications for welding procedure design and qualification.
