NOTCH TOUGHNESS PROPERTIES OF SINGLE-PASS SUBMERGED-ARC WELD METAL ON E.H.2 SHIPBUILDING QUALITY STEELS

The results obtained during this investigation show that the minimum mechanical requirements of E.H.2 steel can be achieved in weld metal not subjected to grain refinement by multi-pass welding procedures. The use of alloying additions to the weld metal brings about further improvements to these properties, particularly the recorded impact values. The use of neutral all-mineral flux and alloyed wires imparts a definite robustness to the process for use under production conditions, as well as providing the operational characteristics being sought. Although the consumables examined and principles involved were developed for a specific shipbuilding problem, there are many other spheres to which they could be applied.
