Research of the Weldability of Iron Alloys
Abstract
Methods are described for reproducing the conditions existing in the transition zone of a weld by heating small samples to high temperatures and quenching in liquid baths. The heat treatment, called "weld-quench" in the report, gives fair reproducibility and for individual materials quenched, is usually within 90% or better of attaining the maximum hardness in the transition zone of welded plates. Further perfection of technique and equipment, especially automatic temperature control and stirring of the quenching baths, gives promise of improving the results still further.
