Ageing evaluation of the heterogeneous weld joint based on instrumented indentation
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Stodola, M. ; Čupera, Pavel
Hardness measurement analyses are presented in the report being focused on base materials of heterogeneous weld joint and its simulated ageing. The change of the instrumented indentation/hardness data is analysed across the weld joint from low carbon steel to highly alloyed weld metal. Methodology for parameter computing of the material characteristics is also described based on data of instrumented indentation tests. The raw data have been supplied also to be available for further development of the methodology.

Strength, fracture and fatigue properties of materials and weld joints from feeder piping of water turbine
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Kruml, Tomáš ; Čupera, Pavel ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Šiška, Filip
Sets of deformation, strength, fracture mechanical and fatigue properties of base materials and weld joints from feeder piping of water turbine is summarised in the report. There are data from 30 mm thick steel sheet and weld joint of this sheet with the casting part. R-curves have been also measured by loading - unloading method at room temperature and at 0°C. In addition tests of CT specimens in the upper shelf and transition region have been carried out with the aim to specify the lowest (conservative) value of the fracture toughness. Fatigue tests are reported too, mainly based on cyclic response curves and life time curves of the base material and heat affected zone of the weld joint between sheet materials.

Aging assessment of heterogeneous weld on the basis of instrumented indentation
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Stodola, M. ; Čupera, Pavel ; Al Khaddour, Samer
Sets of data for development of computing procedures of tensile loading curves from indentation curves have been summarised. The data obtained have been supplied also in digital form (tables) representing indentation curves for different loads by ball indentation technique and, in addition, tensile loading curves of the same microstructures obtained at room temperature. The paper focuses interest on the effect of simulated ageing on fracture behaviour of sub weld deposit regions, and, in addition, empirical analyses of indentation curves obtained from the interface between 22K low carbon steel and weld deposit.

Strenght, fracture and fatigue properties of base materials and weld joint of inflow piping to water turbine (PART I - Weld plate to plate)
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Kruml, Tomáš ; Čupera, Pavel ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Šiška, Filip
Sets of strength, strain, fracture toughness and fatigue properties are summarised in the report characterising the base material, heat affected zones and weld joint material of steel used in water turbine system. Data obtained from 30 mm sheet materials and its weld joint are given. Tests have been carried out in agreement with recent standards and loading curves for finite element calculations have been also supplied. Crack resistance curves have been also generated by unloading technique at 0 and +20°C. Tests of compact tensions in transition regions enabling to determine reference temperature have been carried out. There are also data from fatigue tests, namely cyclic response and fatigue life curves, for the same materials.

The Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model calibration from sub-size test specimens by size corresponding to the half of Charpy specimen
Stratil, Luděk ; Šiška, Filip ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The paper deals with a utilization of miniaturized tensile specimens for purposes of local approach application from limited amount of test material. The motivation for application of those miniaturized specimens is the utilization of volume of test material corresponding to the half of Charpy specimen. The tensile testing of miniaturized specimens was conducted at room temperature in ductile regime of the Eurofer97 steel followed by detailed fractography and quantitative analysis of micromechanism of damage. The parameters of Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman micromechanical model of ductile fracture were calibrated. Except for the slight differences in strength and deformation characteristics no other differences between two sizes of tensile specimens were found. The calibrated sets of parameters of GTN model using the same element size were very similar. The application of different calibrated sets of GTN model parameters for simulation of damage in cracked specimen (R-curve) is sensitive to the element size and needs its calibration.

A calibration of Gurson-Tvergaard- Needleman micromechanical model of ductile fracture
Stratil, Luděk ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Šiška, Filip ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Fracture mechanics characteristics of ductile fracture often depend on geometry and size of specimens. A micromechanical modelling of material damage proposes a tool for treatment of geometry and size effects in fracture mechanics. Application of micromechanical model for certain materiál requires a calibration of model‘s parameters. This contribution presents the calibration procedure of Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model of ductile fracture for Eurofer97 steel. The identification of ductile damage of the steel and its tensile properties at various level of stress triaxiality by testing smooth and notched bars were determined in the previous study. The calibration procedure was performed by hybrid method as a combination of FEA simulations of tensile tests and fractography analyses. The Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model performance is greatly influenced by true stress-true strain curve of the material.

Microstructure and hardness of TiB2
Halasová, Martina ; Bača, L. ; Šajgalík, P. ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Dlouhý, Ivo
MICROSTRUCTURE AND HARDNESS OF TIB2 TiB2 in its pure form is extremely hard material with high melting point. This behaviour predetermines it to be used as e.g. nozzles, armour or wear parts. It is also very brittle and the effort is to decrease brittleness trough addition of various dopants. This contribution deals with the TiB2 dopped with Ta and Ni in various ratio. For observing the microstructure was used SEM and Vickers hardness was calculated by measuring the diagonals of indents. For comparison the values obtained by machine were shown in graph, too.
