Abstract
High‑temperature steel P91 with a high chromium content is used in the production of boiler and steam line elements that operate under steam pressure up to 31 MPa and at temperatures up to 600 °C. However, the increased diffusion creep, which causes the formation of type III or IV cracks in the weldment heat‑affected zone (HAZ), significantly reduces the service life of welded structures made of this steel. One of the causes of crack formation in steam pipelines during operation is the presence of residual tensile stresses after welding. The purpose of the study: to determine the influence of pre‑ and post‑weld heat treatment on residual stresses and deformations during multi‑pass welding of pipe blanks.
