【 摘 要 】
Under-matched welds could minimize the tendency of cold cracking and reduce the preheating operations when high strength steels are welded. However, its low load-carrying capacity might make the high strength parent metal meaningless. With the aim of improving the fatigue limit of under-matched butt-welded joints, this work establishes a nominal stress based fatigue design method for under-matched butt welds while considering its heterogeneous mechanical features. The fatigue life of the base metal is set to be the design goal for the under-matched butt-welded joints, which has scarce been tried before. An equal-fatigue-bearing capacity (EFBC) design method fit for the under-matched butt-welded joints is thus applied with the aims of equal fatigue limit of base metal. X-shaped butt-welded joint is selected to carry out experimental verification where HSLA steel Q550 as the base metal and ER70S-6 as the under-matched filler metal are used. The results show that the EFBC method proposed here is feasible. Note that the EFBC method is valid only in high cycle fatigue.
