Abstract

As a tubing adapter for submarine oil and gas exploitation, super duplex stainless steel usually needs to be connected with other different metals. The effects of welding speed and welding current on the residual stress and deformation of SAF 2507/316L dissimilar plasma arc welding were investigated by numerical simulation and experimental verification. Results show that under four welding speeds and welding currents, with the increase in heat input, the equivalent stress of SAF 2507/316L welded joints decreases first and then increases, the deformation in Z-direction increases first and then decreases, and the maximum deformation increases slightly. The welding speed has a great influence on the residual stress. The overall deformation of SAF 2507/316L welded joints under four welding speeds and welding currents is low, and the maximum deformation is only 0.66 mm. On the whole, the equivalent stress of SAF 2507/316L welded joint with welding parameters of 200 A, 23 V and 3 mm/s is the smallest, but the deformation in Z-direction is the largest. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the actual situation comprehensively in order to take into account the stress and deformation. The correctness of the simulation results is proved by experiments.
