Effect of Welding on Corrosion of Welded Structures
摘要
The causes of welding impacts on metal are briefly considered: the formation of non-uniform microstructure, the formation of residual stresses and deformations, and the appearance of defects. The characteristics of the mutually reinforcing influence of welding impacts and corrosion are analyzed at three levels: micro-level processes, welding-joint level processes, and structural-level processes. The complex processes are presented simply and clearly in the form of original diagrams. Examples of “metal-corrosive environment” systems, which are the most common in the operation of welded structures, are given.
