FATIGUE OF PLATES AND WELDMENTS IN HY-100 AND HY-130/150 STEELS,

Abstract

An evaluation of the axial fatigue behavior of plain plates and full penetration weldments in HY-100 steel is presented. Transverse butt-welded specimens welded with the MIL-11018 electrodes were found to contain minute internal weld flaws which often serve as critical locations for fatigue crack initiation. The weld flaws, although not detected by usual radiographic inspection, were successfully located with the use of ultrasonic detection equipment. The ultrasonic equipment was used also to study the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks in several test weldments. A preliminary investigation of the axial fatigue behavior of HY-130/150 steel plain plates is reported. (Author)
