Abstract Prediction of toughness of weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) of steels is a difficult task because it is controlled by many parameters including grain-size, brittle microphase, hardness, etc. No reliable model has been established, yet. In the present study, a numerical model for predicting Charpy impact toughness of weld HAZ of steels has been developed. The model comprises two parts: phase transformation and toughness prediction. In the former part, phase fraction, size distribution of martensite-austenite brittle microphase, hardness, size of grain boundary ferrite and bainitic ferrite plate, etc. are calculated and these parameters are used in the latter part, in which… More >
