EFFECT OF WELDING AND POST-WELD HEAT TREATMENT ON QT35 STEEL

In this study of QT35 steel, a simulation technique was used to examine the properties of metallurgical structures occurring in the heat affected zones of submerged arc welds. The authors found that changes in properties and particularly a deterioration in notch impact behavior could be related to the thermal cycle applied. Post-weld heat treatment of grain coarsened heat affected zone structures was found to be generally beneficial above 550 C.
