dc.description.abstractThe fracture behavior of welded ductile iron is discussed by means of experimental and theoretical studies. Ferritic nodular cast irons were joined by cold arc welding in order to obtain over-matched weldment in which the yield strength of the weld metal is higher than that of the base metal. As a result of the welding process, various regions with different mechanical properties formed in the welded specimens. In the experimental part of the study, the mechanical properties of the different regions in the welded specimens were identified and J-Integral toughness values were determined by fracture toughness tests for different crack locations including the base metal, the heat affected zone and the weld metal. In the numerical part of the study, finite element analyses were conducted by fixing 3-D models precracked at different locations for different crack lengths. In these models, after stress-strain analysis, stress triaxiality and plastic deformation characteristics around the crack tip were determined for each crack location and different crack sizes. It was found that stress triaxiality values increase with growing crack length. Different regions with different strength levels in the weldment affect the extension of plastic deformation in the models. Hindrance to the extension of plastic deformation at the heat affected zone and diffusion line causes an extra increase in stress triaxiality at the crack tip.
