Resumo
O emprego de aços inoxidáveis duplex na indústria atual vem aumentando devido as suas características que combinam boas propriedades mecânicas e de resistência à corrosão. Esses aços são constituídos por uma estrutura bifásica com frações volumétricas de 50% ferrita e 50% austenita. Portanto, o desenvolvimento de técnicas para melhorar a soldagem dos aços duplex se faz necessário, de modo a garantir que o balanço de fases e as propriedades do material não sejam severamente prejudicados neste processo. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de caracterizar juntas soldadas com o processo GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) no aço inoxidável duplex UNS S32205. Foram realizadas soldagens na condição autógena com aporte térmico variando entre 261,00 J/mm e 652,50 J/mm. Seguiu-se com a análise do metal base e dos cordões de solda mediante ensaios de dureza Vickers, EDS (Espectroscopia por Dispersão de Energia), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e microscopia óptica (MO). Os resultados apresentaram a região do metal de solda com fração volumétrica de austenita variando entre de 21,71% e 33,89%. Essa variação se deve às menores taxas de resfriamento dos aportes térmicos com valores maiores, que permitem uma maior formação de austenita. Quanto a geometria do cordão, foi observado que valores maiores de aporte térmico, provocaram cordões mais largos e profundos, variando entre 3,9 e 5,9 mm de largura e 0,65 a 1,29 mm de profundidade. Na zona termicamente afetada mais próxima do metal de solda, a dureza Vickers apresentou valores maiores que o metal base, devido a presença de maior percentual de ferrita nessa região. Não se identificou a presença de fases frágeis no material.
The use of duplex stainless steels in industry is increasing due to their characteristics that combine good mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. These steels are comprised of a biphasic structure volume fraction of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. Therefore, the development of techniques to improve the welding of duplex steels it is necessary, in order to ensure that the phase balance and the material properties are not severely harmed in the process. This work aims to characterize welded joints with the GTAW process in UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel. Autogenous welds were performed with heat input ranging from 261.00 J/mm and 652.50 J/mm. The next step was the analysis of base metal and weld beads by Vickers hardness testing, EDS, electronic and optical microscopy. The results showed the weld metal region with volume fraction of austenite ranging between 21.71% and 33.89%. This variation is due to the lower cooling rates of high heat input values, wich allow a greater formation of austenite. About the geometry, it was observed that higher values of heat input, led to wider and deeper welded joints, ranging between 3.9 and 5.9mm width and 0.65 and 1.29mm depth. In the nearest heat affected zone of the weld metal, Vickers hardness showed higher values than the base metal due to the presence of higher percentage of ferrite. Was not identified brittle phases in the material.
