Abstract

Abstract

A 22.5 × 9.0 wheel rim made of Ti and Nb precipitation strengthened 600 MPa wheel steel was manufactured by continuous flash butt welding process to. The lap joint of rim and spoke was welded under gas shielded welding process. The flash butt welded joint of the rim cracked during the flaring process, thinned during rolling forming process and cracked during expansion process. Consequently, the comprehensive scrap rate was 37%. When the wheel was subjected to radial fatigue test for 800000 cycles, fatigue cracking occurred at the weld root of the lap between the rim and the spoke. The fracture, microstructure, hardness and precipitated phase of wheel steel joint were analyzed. The results show that the hardness of butt welded joints presents "saddle" local softening characteristics, and the hardness of lap joints presents "basin" local softening characteristics. In the CGHAZ the grains coarsen, while the second phase particles below 20 nm dissovle significantly. In the FGHAZ the grains grow, with the second phase particles below 20 nm disappear and particles above 20 nm coarsen, leading to softening behavior of HAZ.
