The kinetics of εCu particle dissolution in the matrix of heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding of a coppercontaining steel was determined by assembling the welding temperaturetime program into a modified Whelan′s solution. The particle dissolution dependence on the degree of “superheating” above the equilibrium transformation is demonstrated from the model. In terms of volume fraction of particle dissolution, the HAZ may be classified into three zones, including the undissolving zone, the partially dissolving zone, and the completely dissolving zone, respectively. The numerical solution was in good agreement with the experimental examination finding. The results of model can be used to quantitatively map the εCu dissolution zone dependence on the peak temperature of welding thermal cycles and understand the evolution of this transformation during welding.

The kinetics of εCu particles dissolution in the matrix during welding of a copperprecipitation strengthening steel was determined by a combination of GleebleTM physical simulation, TEM examination and hardness measurement. The εCu particles underwent a coarsening and part dissolution and then complete dissolution reaction as the peak temperature increased from 750 to 1 000 ℃, which resulted in the decrease in the number density of εCu particles and hardness in the heataffected zone (HAZ). The results can be used to understand the evolution of this transformation and a softening behavior of the HAZ during welding of this type of steel.
