Second Partial Report of Research of the Weldability of Iron Alloys

Abstract

Results are reported for hardness surveys on sections from single bead welds carried out on a large number of differing compositions of steel. A rational basis for evaluating the quench sensitivity (harden-ability) of various grades of steel is indicated in the results obtained. It is found that conditions existing in the high-temperature zone adjacent to a single bead fusion weld can be approximately duplicated by a special method of heating and quenching small specimens of the base metal. The maximum size of sample that can be used for reproducing the high temperature zone by the special heat treating methods is shown to be large enough to constitute a test bar for impact and cold bend tests.
