NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN WELDING STEELS WITH YIELD STRENGTHS GREATER THAN 150,000 PSI.

Abstract

The report summarizes the advancements made in the development and welding of steels possessing yield strengths greater than 150,000 psi. Steels discussed include the medium carbon, low-alloy martensitic steels; low carbon alloy martensites; and nickel maraging steels. Almost all programs which have the objective of developing high-strength steels have an equally important phase concerned with filler metal development. Filler metals are also discussed. The new welding processes discussed are Narrow-Gap welding, electron-beam welding, plasma-arc welding, high-frequency resistance welding, electroslag welding, laser welding, and interrupted-arc (dip trasfer) MIG welding.
