Resumo:
This study has been made concerning the influence of quenching and tempering heat treatments on the fracture resistance of a grade R4 structural steel, largely used for fabricating offshore mooring chains by flash welding. CT specimens were taken from the welded joints region in L-R and machined following orientation and subjected to different quenching (austenizing temperatures of 810, 840, 870 and 900ºC) and tempering (640 ºC and 680ºC) treatments, in a total of four microstructural conditions. After fatigue precracking, the specimens were monotonically loaded in tension in order to determine the fracture resistance of the material on the basis of the CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement) parameter. The results of the CTOD tests showed that the fracture resistance of the grade R4 structural steel has decreased when increasing the austenitizing temperature (810, 840 and 870°C) and tempering at 640ºC. However, when adopting higher austenitizing (900°C) and tempering (680° C) temperatures, the parameter CTOD has increased. The microstructural modifications caused by the heat treatments were associated with the toughness modifications.
