Introduction

Crack formation in steel materials is a phenomenon that may significantly affect operational safety, performance, and even mechanical properties. This is especially true for 30CrMo steel, which is a popular low-carbon steel used in a variety of construction applications. This paper examines the phenomena of crack formation in 30CrMo structural steel and its effects on structural integrity.

Abstract

Cracks in 30CrMo steel are a common phenomenon that can have significant consequences for the safety and performance of construction projects. This paper examines the characteristics and origins of crack formation in 30CrMo steel, quantifying their impacts on the mechanical properties and safety of the material. Finally, it provides recommendations for prevention and detection of crack formation in 30CrMo steel.

Background

30CrMo steel is a popular low-carbon alloy steel used for a variety of construction applications. It typically has a strength ratio of around 400-450 MPa (N/mm2). It is also known for its excellent weldability and resistance to thermal fatigue due to its high chromium and molybdenum content.

Cracks in 30CrMo

Characteristics

Cracks in 30CrMo steel have been observed to have a variety of characteristics. These can include a serrated surface, a cavernous surface, an uneven surface, and a collinear arrangement. Most often these cracks occur at welded or cut edges and can be several millimetres in length and a few micrometres in depth.

Origins

The origin of 30CrMo steel cracks can be attributed to several causes. These can include welding and cutting operations as well as thermal fatigue, low-temperature embrittlement, and surface defects. These components can combine to form cracks that are usually centred near the welds or cut edges.

Impacts of 30CrMo cracks

Mechanical properties

Cracks in 30CrMo steel can lead to significant reductions in the material’s mechanical properties. These can include decreases in fracture toughness, yield strength, and fatigue strength. These properties can be further reduced if the cracks are in a collinear arrangement.

Safety

The presence of cracks in 30CrMo steel can also reduce its structural integrity and put workers at risk. Cracks can act as stress raisers, making the material more susceptible to fatigue failure, and can increase the risk of the structure collapsing.

Prevention

There are a variety of methods that can be used to prevent the formation of cracks in 30CrMo steel. These can include pre-heating the material prior to welding or cutting, using filler materials, and using proper welding techniques to reduce the stress concentration caused by welds. Additionally, regular inspections should be performed to detect existing cracks.

Conclusion

Crack formation in 30CrMo steel can significantly reduce its safety and performance, potentially leading to mechanical failure. It is important to understand the causes and impacts of crack formation in order to prevent it and ensure the structural integrity of the material. This paper has discussed the characteristics, origins, and impacts of 30CrMo steel cracks and provided recommendations for prevention and detection.

2Cr30CrMo cleavage and related cracks

2Cr30CrMo steel belongs to low-alloy structural steel, belonging to low-alloy quenched and tempered steel. It is an essential material for manufacturing component parts of various machines and engineering structures. The high strength, toughness and plasticity of 2Cr30CrMo steel increase its applications and make welding process harder. Therefore, before 2Cr30CrMo welding, the preheating temperature and the welding process should be strictly controlled to avoid the cleavage and related cracks during and after welding.

The reason for the occurrence of cleavage and related cracks in low-alloy steels such as 2Cr30CrMo during welding is the large carbon content, which can reduce the plasticity, toughness and impact toughness of the base metal during welding, causing it to be easily cracked. This kind of embrittlement phenomenon is commonly known as hydrogen embrittlement. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of the preheating temperature and welding process in order to avoid hydrogen embrittlement because of too low temperature and easy cracks.

When using 2Cr30CrMo steel to weld two plates, it is necessary to pay attention to the preheating temperature. Generally, the preheating temperature of the material should not be lower than 150℃ before welding. For thick plates, preheating temperature should be higher, generally not lower than 200℃. During welding, attention should be paid to the welding parameters, and welding should be as low as possible. Due to the high hardness of the 2Cr30CrMo material after welding, appropriate tempering heat treatment should be carried out after welding.

In summary, in order to avoid cleavage and related cracks in welding 2Cr30CrMo low alloy quenched and tempered steel, attention should be paid to controlling the preheating temperature and the welding parameters. It is also necessary to carry out tempering heat treatment after welding, so as to reduce the hardness as much as possible.
