Effective Use of Weld Metal Yield Strength for HY-Steels

Abstract

This report reviews the presently available welding technology for high-yield-strength steel (HY-steel) systems from the viewpoint of suggesting where fabrication cost savings might be achieved without sacrificing weldment integrity or performance. The review involves: economic analysis of fabrication costs; present criteria for high strength steel weldment performance, both military and industrial; present understanding of the effects of hydrogen in high strength steel weldments; factors affecting weld metal mechanical properties; and factors affecting weldment mechanical performance.
