Abstract

Welded components of low alloy steels are widely used in various applications. Stress reliving is very important to these welded structures. Vibration stress relief (VSR) is an relatively new method for this purpose. In this study, Q235 and Q345 steel plates were welded. Then they were treated by VSR. The microstructure of the welded lines were investigated and the residual stresses in two directions in these welded structures were measured. The difference of the efficiency of VSR on the two materials were investigate. It is found that, the decreasing amplitude of the residual stress in the Q235 welded structures significantly exceeded that in the Q345 welded structures. The grain size in the area near the weld lines is the main factor that affects the efficiency of the VSR treatment.
