Abstract
Laser welding, which is known for its precision and high welding rate, offers a high-cooling-rate processing environment. In this study, laser welding was applied to interstitial-free steel plates with phosphorous additions of 0.002 and 0.009 wt%. After laser welding was performed and the weldment was cooled by protective gas, massive ferrite was produced. The base metal, heat affected zone, and weld region were observed and compared by optical microscopy (OM). It was found that increasing the phosphorous content led to refinement of the grain size of the massive ferrite. In addition, the allotriomorphic ferrite in the base metal and the massive ferrite in the weld were characterized and analyzed under scanning electron microscopy–electron backscatter diffraction (SEM-EBSD). The substructures of massive ferrite in OM can be resolved to be low-angle sub-boundaries in kernel average misorientation (KAM) analysis conducted on SEM. Furthermore, TEM analysis revealed that the substructures of massive ferrite were associated with the dislocation cell structures; it is presumed that during the growth of massive ferrite, the rapid migration of incoherent boundaries generated a high dislocation density, and subsequent cooling led to auto-tempering.
