METALLURGICAL QUALITY OF STEELS USED FOR HULL CONSTRUCTION.

Abstract

To obtain definite information concerning the relationships among chemical composition, underbead weld cracking, and the mechanical properties, especially the tensile and notched-bar impact characteristics, a series of 30 laboratory heats was made and studied in the hot-rolled state to determine the individual influence of each of the following constituents when varied over a range sufficiently broad to definitely establish the trend of the effect; carbon, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, vanadium, and aluminum. For a standard chemical composition, a typical HTS analysis was selected, and the elements studied were then varied one at a time in this standard composition.
