Abstract
The eects of weld strength mismatch on welding residual stresses were discussed based on a series of
recent comprehensive studies. Two typical joint congurations were analyzed in detail: a butt-weldedplate and a multi-pass girth weld. The butt-welded plate represents a severely under-matched weld, in
which repair welding eects were also analyzed. For the girth weld, three weld strength levels were
considered to investigate the weld strength mismatch eects on weld residual stress distributions.
Fracture mechanics analysis was then performed for the multi-pass girth weld for a surface crack
situated along the weld centerline. Welding-induced residual stress elds were assumed to be the
dominant loading mode in all cases. With the dominance of welding-induced residual stress eld, such as
in some of the stress corrosion cracking cases experienced in the utility industry, stress intensity factors
are shown to be an appropriate and convenient fracture mechanics parameter. The implications on
ductile fracture behavior were also discussed in light of the results from this study. # 1999 Elsevier

1. Introduction
Weld metal strength mismatch is referred to as an inhomogeneous strength distribution
across a welded joint resulting from the use of weld metal of either higher or lower strength
than the base material. The former is typically referred to as overmatched and the latter
undermatched. Over the last decade, there has been an increased interest in understanding weld
metal strength mismatch eects on fracture behaviors of welded structures. As a result, a large

number of publications on this subject have appeared in the open literature on weld strength
mismatch eects on fracture toughness testing and fracture characterization parameters of
welded structures. Some of the representative work can be found in Refs. [19].
It is known that welding residual stresses can play an important role in the fracture behavior
of welded structures. However, detailed studies on this subject have been scarce in the open
literature. This may have been in part due to the fact that accurate residual stress analyses
require sophisticated numerical tools that have only become available over the last few years.Nonetheless, with prescribed residual stress distributions, Finch and Burdekin conducted nite
element computation of J-integral without weld metal strength mismatch eects [10,11]. Their
results indicated that residual stress eects on J increase steadily as loading increases through
the linear elastic regime. Although intriguing, such results should be interpreted with caution
since the computation of J-integral in its original form no longer possesses the path-
independence property with the presence of weld residual stresses [12]. As a result, appropriate
computational fracture mechanics parameters should be identied or rephrased in order to take
into account the eects of both weld strength mismatch and residual stress [12]. Under residual
stress dominant conditions, stress intensity factor solutions have been used to characterize
quasi-static crack growth behavior in multi-pass girth welds [13,14], where detailed residual
stress states were obtained based on advanced nite element techniques [1518]. Any presence
of weld metal strength mismatch tends to introduce additional complexity in residual stresses,as discussed in Refs. [17,18] for under-matched welds.
In this paper, some of the general residual stress characteristics associated with mismatched
welds are rst discussed using two typical weld congurations. One is a butt-welded plate with
under-matched weld metal. The other is a multi-pass girth weld. For the latter, detailed
residual stress results were given for undermatched, matched, and overmatched conditions.

And nally, the stress intensity factors were computed under the three matching conditions to
study quasi-static crack growth behavior due to the presence of welding-induced residual stress
elds.
2. Residual stresses in a butt-welded plate
Fig. 1 shows an AlLi panel specimen with both initial weld and weld repair. Both advanced
nite element techniques and experimental methods were used to characterize the residual
stress development. Fig. 2 shows the 2D cross-section model (generalized plane-strain
conditions). A special shell element model as shown in Fig. 3 was used to capture some of the
3D residual stress features. A short description of the residual stress analysis procedure is given
below. Detailed discussions on this subject can be found in Refs. [13,1519].
2.1. Analysis procedure
The procedure for welding-induced residual stress analysis can be divided into two parts:
thermal and mechanical analyses. These two analyses are sequentially coupled and thereforecan be carried out in sequence. A thermal analysis solves for the transient temperature eld
associated with the heat ow of welding. The resulting temperature solutions are fed into a
Fig. 2. 2D cross-section model: (a) entire model; (b) fusion prole macrograph and mesh design in weld area.

mechanical analysis as the thermal driving force for the stress evolution. Residual stresses are
the nal stress state at which all weld passes are completed and the weld is cooled down to the
ambient temperature.For both the thermal and mechanical analyses, temperature-dependent physical and
mechanical properties of the base and ller materials are incorporated. For the AlLi panel
specimen, the room temperature stressstrain curves are given in Fig. 4. The ller metal
strength is signicantly lower than that of the base metal, i.e., a severely undermatched case.
2.2. Initial welds
The shell/plate element model in Fig. 3 was rst used to analyze the residual stress
development for the initial weld. The transverse residual stresses along a line at 7.6 mm from
the weld centerline are shown in Fig. 5. Residual stress measurements (in symbols) were also
obtained with the X-ray diraction technique at four equally spaced positions along this line.It should be noted that the shell/plate element model was only intended to capture some of the
global residual stress characteristics. Nevertheless, the agreement between the measured and
predicted results is reasonable.
Such residual stress distribution characteristics are not completely unexpected. It is well
established that the longitudinal residual stresses are primarily dominated by workpiece's
restraint in the longitudinal direction, and their typical distributions along an initial weld are
illustrated in Fig. 6. The transverse residual stress distribution, however, can be attributed to
both longitudinal and transverse restraints. A simple free-body diagram with an imaginary cut
along the weld centerline is used in Fig. 6 to demonstrate the contribution of weld longitudinal
shrinkage to the variation of the transverse residual stress along the weld as shown in Fig. 5.
Without knowing this important residual stress feature for the transverse component, analysisresults from a 2D model may not be correctly interpreted.
To investigate the detailed local residual stress distributions, the 2D generalized plane strain
element model (see Fig. 3) was used along with prescribed displacement conditions obtained

from the shell/plate element model, as discussed above. The residual stress results on the top
surface are plotted as a function of distance from the weld centerline in Fig. 7, in which
experimental X-ray diraction measurements are plotted in symbols. The predicted
longitudinal stresses in the weld area (Fig. 7a) clearly indicates the weld metal undermatch
eects (i.e., its yield strength was lower than the base material's by about 45%). The maximum
tensile stress occurs within the HAZ region due to the high yield strength of the base material.
The agreement between the predictions and measurements was considered reasonable,
particularly away from the weld.
The transverse residual stress results on the top surface are shown in Fig. 7b. Within thefusion zone, the transverse component is small. The transverse residual stress reaches its
maximum at the fusion line and is followed by a rapid decrease. Some oscillations can be seen
for some distance further away from the weld before the transverse component gradually

approaches zero. It should be noted that clamp positions were located at about 64 mm away
from the weld centerline and that its eects can be clearly seen in the predicted results. The X-
ray diraction measurement results followed the same trend.

2.3. Repair welds
Once the initial weld residual stress eld was established, as discussed in the previous section,
the repair welding was simulated using the procedures described earlier. The results are also
summarized in Fig. 7. The change in longitudinal residual stresses due to repair is not

noticeable. However, the transverse residual stress component shows an overall increase,
particularly away from the fusion zone. This trend was further conrmed by the X-ray
measurements, shown in symbols (triangles) in Fig. 7b.
The shell/plate element model was also used to investigate the global features of the repair
weld residual stresses for the entire panel specimen. The resulting transverse residual stress
distribution is given in Fig. 8. High tensile stress occurs within the repaired region and reaches
its maximum at the stop position. Immediately outside the repair weld length (start/stoppositions), the transverse stresses became compressive. X-ray residual stress measurements
conrmed this trend [18]. The detailed results were discussed in Refs. [17,18].
2.4. Cross-section yielding behavior
To investigate the interactions of the repair residual stresses with external loading in such
severely undermatched weld, both the shell element model and wide panel tension specimens
were used. The wide-panel specimens were machined to obtain a at surface within a gauge
length of 508 mm. A thin layer of photo-strain coating was placed onto the specimens over the
gauge length. Tension loading was gradually applied at a specied load increment. Photo-strain

distribution (maximum shear strain) was obtained in the form of fringe contours on the wide
panel test specimens at each load increment. The nite element results on the wide panel
specimens were processed in the same manner: (1) the total maximum shear strains were
obtained at a given remote loading and (2) the total maximum strains were subtracted by the
total maximum strains due to welding.

The results in the form of the maximum shear strain (to be consistent with the experimental
photo-strain data) are shown in Fig. 9 at a remote loading level of 172 MPa. The maximum
shear strain distribution for a wide panel specimen only with an initial weld are shown in Fig.
9a. A concentration of fringes as a result of plastic deformation can be seen along the entire
length of the initial weld due to under-matched ller material. The experimental results for
wide panel specimen with an initial weld is given in Fig. 10a. Once a repair weld was
introduced, the maximum shear strain distributions became highly concentrated within therepair weld (Fig. 9b), as conrmed by the experimental photo-strain results in Fig. 10b.
3. Residual stresses in a multi-pass girth weld
Fig. 11 shows the axisymmetric model of a multi-pass girth weld. The inner radius of the
cylinder is 2235 mm and the thickness is 38.1 mm. A layered lumped-pass was used here to
simplify the analysis procedures. A more detailed analysis procedure with 18 passes was used
in Ref. [13] for the same weld. The general residual stress characteristics are essentially the

P. Dong, J. Zhang / Engineering Fracture Mechanics 64 (1999) 485505 495

same. The base material is of Type 304 austenitic stainless steel. The mechanical properties are
shown in Table 1. Three ller material strength levels were assumed, i.e., 30% undermatched,
matched, and 30% overmatched with respect to that of base material. In all cases, strain
hardening characteristics were assumed to be the same. The detailed residual stress
development after each passes were shown in detail for the matched case in Ref. [13].
As weld strength mismatch eects are introduced, the magnitude of the transverse residual
stress distributions becomes signicantly dierent, as shown in Fig. 12, although the overallresidual stress distributions share similar characteristics among the three cases. The hoop
residual stress distributions (see Fig. 13), however, become more uniform as the strength of the
weld metal increases, with its change in magnitude being much less noticeable. Figs. 14 and 15
show the detailed comparison of the through-thickness distributions of the axial residual
stresses at the weld centerline, at 12.7 and 22.9 mm from the weld centerline, respectively. Also
shown in Fig. 16 are the axial residual stress distributions on both inner and outer surfaces as
a function of distance from the weld centerline. As expected, the weld metal strength mismatch
eects are most signicant at the weld centerline. The mismatch eects decrease rapidly as the
distance from the weld centerline increases. Outside of heat aected zone (HAZ), the mismatch
eects become negligible for the cases studied.
4. Fracture behavior
To characterize crack behavior within residual stress elds of welded structures, J-integral in
its original formulation may not be conveniently used for nite element computation due to its
path dependency. If residual stresses are dominant near a crack in a component on which
external loading may be negligible, stress intensity factors can be used as a fracture mechanics
parameter to characterize the crack behavior (for detailed discussions on this subject, see Ref.
[12]). An intuitive illustration is given in Fig. 17. Material points such as A and B may be
identied as they undergo welding-induced thermomechanical cycles. Their resulting residual
stress states can be traced to the positions shown with respect to their respective stressstrain
histories during the entire welding process. As the residual stress eld is perturbed, due toeither crack growth or change of external loading, these material points tend to react primarily
with linear response with respect to their residual stress states, as shown in Fig. 17. Within this
context, stress intensity factors can be used as a fracture mechanics parameter, provided
external loading is not dominant.

4.1. Finite element alternating method
The nite element alternating method (FEAM), which is summarized in Refs. [2023], is the
state of the art method for obtaining stress intensity factors for a 3D surface crack. The major
advantage of the method is that a nite element mesh of the uncracked geometry is all that is
needed to obtain stress intensity factors, displacements, stresses, etc. More importantly, thesame mesh can be used to obtain solutions for many dierent crack sizes (e.g., quasi-static
growing crack) and for multiple cracks. Because the nite element stiness matrix only needs
to be reduced once regardless of the crack size, crack location, crack orientation, crack number

(mixed mode conditions can be handled as well), etc., the method is extremely ecient. The
FEAM methods have been adapted for analyzing a growing crack in residual stress elds [14].
4.2. Stress intensity factor solutions
To investigate the fracture behavior of a small surface crack in the girth weld shown in Fig.11, the residual stress distributions were mapped onto its 3D solid element model as shown in
Fig. 18. As discussed earlier, the FEAM methods only require a conventional 3D solid element
mesh without the need to explicitly model the crack.

4.2.1. Matched weld
The stress intensity factor solutions (KI) along the crack front are shown in Fig. 18 for four
values of the crack depth (a2) for the matched case. With an initial crack size of a1=88.9 mm
and a2=5.1 mm, the stress intensity factor reaches its maximum at the deepest position

(elliptical angle of 908). As the crack depth is increased to a2=7.6 mm, an approximatelyuniform increase in stress intensity factors can be seen along the crack front. It is interesting to
note that the axial residual stress before a crack is introduced varies from highly tensile to
compressive at a depth of about 5.1 mm from the inner surface (see Fig. 14). However, as the

crack grows deeper, for instance after a2=10.2 mm, the stress intensity factor at the deepest
position decreases rapidly and the maximum value occurs at about 228 from the surface. A
similar behavior was also seen in a number of other pipe girth welds [14].

weld strengths, an identical FEAM procedure was repeated to compute the stress intensity
factor solutions. The results are summarized in Fig. 19 for an elliptical surface crack with two
representative depths. At a2=5.1 mm, the overmatched case gives a higher stress intensity
factor value along the crack front than that of the matched case (short dashed lines). The
undermatched case shows a signicant reduction of the stress intensity factor values from the
matched case, more than 60% at the deepest position. As the crack grows deeper, for instance
at a2=10.2 mm, the dierence between the overmatched and matched cases becomes smallerwhile the reduction in KI for the undermatched cases remains signicant.
5. Closure
Without considering weld residual stresses, weld strength mismatch eects become noticeable
only if the plastic zone at the crack tip starts to interact with base material [58]. This typically
requires a load level that is suciently high. Once welding-induced residual stresses are
considered, weld metal strength mismatch can aect the fracture behavior of welded structures
for the entire loading spectrum. Often, fracture behavior at the lower end of the loading
spectrum is of a particular concern if there exist possibilities of brittle fracture. At the lowerend of the loading spectrum, weld residual stresses could act as a sole driving force for crack
growth, e.g., as shown for some of the stress corrosion cracking cases [14]. Obviously, the weld
residual stresses are strongly dependent on the weld metal mismatch conditions, as illustrated
in this paper. At the upper end of the loading spectrum, it is typically assumed that the eects
of the weld residual stresses should be insignicant. However, the presence of high residual
stresses at an early loading stage could signicantly alter the plastic zone development at a
crack tip or even set o a dierent cross-section yielding mechanisms at a later stage of the
loading, as illustrated in Ref. [18] on repair welded wide panel specimens.
Therefore, the combined eects of the strength mismatch and residual stresses on the
fracture behavior should be of critical importance in fracture mechanics analysis of welded
structures. Today's research activities in the area of weld strength mismatch should beexpanded to address weld residual stress eects. The results from the present study can serve as
a basis for a coordinated systematic investigation on this subject. Specically, the following
observations from this investigation may provide an impetus for such an endeavor.
1. The development of weld residual stresses can be complex and is strongly dependent on,
among other things, joint conguration and welding procedures. As advanced
computational modeling techniques have become available over the recent years, detailed
residual stress information incorporating weld strength mismatch eects can be readily
obtained for the purpose of fracture mechanics analysis of welded structures.
2. Weld strength mismatch eects tend to be conned to a small region encompassing the
weld. Although their overall residual stress distributions are rather similar to the matched
weld, the magnitude of the transverse residual stress component can be signicantlyincreased in overmatched welds and decreased in undermatched welds. However, the
increase in magnitude for the hoop or longitudinal residual stresses is much less noticeable.
3. It seems that undermatched welds can oer a signicant less fracture driving force if the
P. Dong, J. Zhang / Engineering Fracture Mechanics 64 (1999) 485505 503

20/21
residual stresses are a dominant loading mode. If the large scale plastic deformation occurs
prior to nal failure under dominant external loading conditions, the residual stresses in
undermatched welds can be sucient to trigger an unfavorable cross-section yielding mode,
as discussed for the repair weld case.
