Partial Report on Weldability Tests of High Tensile Steel (BuShips Welding Tests No. 324 and No. 325)

Abstract

A comparison is made of the relative weldability of nine manganese-titanium steels, a manganese-vanadium steel and a mild steel. The direct ductility tests, the nick-bend and T-bend, classify these steels in approximately the same order of weldability. The indirect tests show a greater variation. The low weldability rating obtained for manganese-vanadium steel cannot be taken as indicative of the performance of this type of steel. The effect of titanium on the weldability of a steel cannot be determined from these tests.
