摘要

Suppressed low-temperature toughness mismatch between the fusion zone (FZ) and base metal (BM) was achieved in a Q450NQR1 high-strength weathering steel joint by employing laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) with beam oscillation (O-LAHW), thereby avoiding the heat aggregation of conventional LAHW at the center of the molten pool. The O-LAHWed joint exhibited a higher content of acicular ferrite in the FZ, increasing it by 8% compared with the LAHWed joint, reaching the maximum value of 61%. Meanwhile, the O-LAHWed joint demonstrates higher ultimate tensile strength (775 MPa), yield strength (697 MPa), and impact absorption energy (175 J for FZ, at − 40 °C) compared to LAHWed joints, with increases of 3%, 9%, and 35%, respectively. That is, O-LAHW can significantly improve the impact toughness at low temperatures and exhibit a low-temperature toughness matching degree of 118% with BM, surpassing the metal active-gas arc-welded joints reported in the existing literature by more than one time. The key factor contributing to the improved low-temperature toughness of the FZ was the interlocked microstructure with a high dislocation density promoted by the beam stirring effect.
