Development and Production of Experimental High-Strength Ferritic Electrodes.

Abstract

The objective of this investigation was to investigate the suitability of the notched bend specimen for evaluating the toughness of welded butt joints made in armor plate with high-yield strength-ferritic electrodes and as a substitute for the ballistic H-plate. Bend tests of notched specimens of butt joints were made over a temperature range from 400 F to -290 F. These welds were made with experimental high-yield-strength ferritic steel electrodes and one austenitic (19-9 Mn) steel electrodes in 3/4-inch armor. Static tests were also made on notched bend specimens in 1-1/2-inch armor to ascertain the effect of specimen geometry on plastic behavior of the specimens. Preliminary preparations were made for welding ballistic H-plate specimens for study of actual ballistic performance of weld joints to compare with weld-joint performance as determined by notched bend specimens.
