Resumen

Se analizó el efecto de los ciclos térmicos de soldadura en la microestructura de un acero microaleado experimental martensítico-bainítico. En la zona de fusión se presenta una microestructura de bainita y ferrita acicular. En la zona afectada por el calor se presenta una microestructura de: a) bainita en la subzona de crecimiento de grano; b) ferrita poligonal en la subzona de recristalización; c) ferrita cuasi-poligonal y martensita revenida en la subzona intercrítica; d) martensita revenida en la subzona subcrítica. Mediante pruebas de microdureza se observó que se presenta un ablandamiento en las subzonas de recristalización, intercrítica y subcrítica, el cual está relacionado con la microestructura presente. Adicionalmente, con pruebas de nanoindentación, se observó un endurecimiento en la frontera que separa a la subzona intercrítica de la subcrítica, que puede ser atribuido a un fenómeno de endurecimiento secundario por precipitación de carburos de los elementos aleantes. Finalmente, se observó que la ferrita poligonal presenta un comportamiento y nanodureza similar a la bainita debido al efecto del borde de grano.
