Materials Science and Engineering A 445–446 (2007) 454–460 Effect of heat-input on austenite grain size in the heat-affected zone of HSLA-100 steel M. Shome ∗ RD and Scientific Services Division, Tata Steel, Jamshedpur 831007, India Received 18 November 2005; accepted 19 September 2006 Abstract The prior-austenite grain size in the heat-affected zones of single-pass butt welded joints in thick HSLA-100 steel plates was evaluated. The grain size was related with the temporal history of the location, which was obtained using an existing thermal model based on Gaussian heat source distribution for two different heat-input conditions. For a heat-input of 10 kJ/cm the grain size in the coarse grain heat-affected zone was 80 m corresponding to a peak temperature of 1450 ◦C, but falls sharply to 40 m within a distance of 0.5 mm from the fusion line. At a higher heat-input of 40 kJ/cm the grain size is 130 m for the same peak temperature and the coarse grain heat-affected zone is 1.1 mm wide. The austenite grain size significantly influences the microstructure and properties of the heat-affected zone. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

However, one drawback is that the precipitate During welding the high peak temperature (Tp ) thermal dissolution or precipitate coarsening effects are not incorporated cycles are responsible for austenite grain growth in the ba
