Abstract
In this study, the three-phase zone of welded joints in L360QS/N08825 bimetallic composite pipes was analyzed using experimental methods such as room temperature impact, hardness, and room temperature stretching of prefabricated defects. The fracture morphology, chemical composition, and microstructure of the three-phase region were observed and analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and EDS energy spectroscopy. The findings indicate a clear boundary between the microstructures in the three-phase zone, with the microstructure in the heat-affected zone of the base material L360QS growing significantly, while that in the heat-affected zone of the lining layer does not grow significantly. Dendritic austenite grows in the weld perpendicular to the fusion line. The tensile strengths of the heat-affected zone and weld zone were 557.6 and 507.3 MPa, respectively. The presence of cracks and inclusions were the main causes of weld fractures.
