Abstract:Mechanical impact and friction treatment were applied to improve the TIG weld joints surface performance of Q235 steel. The micromorphology and the size of a crystal grain in the treated weld surface were studied by an optical microscopy, microhardness tester, Scanning Election Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD). It was shown that a thickness of about 400 µm after 20 treatment times could be reached. Meanwhile, the dense refinement layer was formed on the top of plastic deformation layer with the … Show more
