Abstract:
The focus of this research is the low activation ferrite/martensitic steel that is used for manufacturing nuclear fusion reactor experimental blanket modules. A fiber laser was used to weld on one side, realizing double-sided forming, and the organization and properties of the as-welded metal were systematically studied. The Ta mass fraction varied in the order of 0%, 0.26%, 0.54%, and 0.81%. The results showed that the weld seam had been well formed and did not have other welding metallurgical defects. With an increase in the Ta mass fraction in the weld, the number and size of lath martensite and 8-Fe in the weld gradually decreased; at the same time, the number and size of ferrite and pearlite gradually increased. When the mass fraction of Ta increased from 0% to 0.26%, the impact toughness of the weld increased from about 40 J to about 82.3 J, which is equivalent to an increase of about 2.06 times. This increase is because the nanoscale Ta-rich MX carbides that precipitated from the martensitic lath in the as-welded metal had an effect on dispersion strengthening. This was because the mass fraction of Ta corresponded to 0.26%. However, when the mass fraction of Ta increased from 0.26% to 0.81%, the coarsened TaC precipitated from the as-welded metal and was accompanied by the lath martensite and 8-Fe gradually disappearing while the content and size of ferrite and pearlite gradually increased. This resulted in a decline of the impact toughness.
