The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1990 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 5B-1: An Evaluation of the Fillet Weld Shear Strength of Flux Cored Arc Welding Electrodes

Abstract

This report presents the results of a project initialed by SP-7, the Welding R&D Panel of the Ship Production Committee of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. The project was financed through a cost sharing contract between the U.S. Maritime Administration and Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc. The principal objective was to develop data on the longitudinal and transverse shear strength of flux cored are welding filler metals. Consistently higher shear strength properties of flux core over solid wire and conventional electrodes would provide a basis for implementing smaller, more cost effective fillet weld requirements in ship structures.
