THE 'IMPLANTS' METHOD FOR STUDYING THE WELDABILITY OF HIGH STRENGTH STEELS

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF THE SO-CALLED 'IMPLANTS' METHOD, WHICH PERMITS THE DIRECT INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF AN ACTUAL WELDING OPERATION BY ANY OF THE FUSION PROCESSES ON A SMALL-SIZE SPECIMEN IS DISCUSSED. THE POSSIBILITIES OFFERED ARE SUMMARIZED: METALLOGRAPHIC STUDY, PLOTTING OF HARDNESS/ENERGY CURVES, PLOTTING OF TRANSFORMATION DIAGRAMS ON CONTINUOUS COOLING OF THE BASE AND WELD METALS, AND QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF COLD CRACKING. WITH HIGH STRENGTH STEELS, THE METHOD MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE ACCURATELY THE EFFECT OF THE VARIABLES OF THE CRACKING PHENOMENON (ENERGY, STRESS, PRE- AND POST-HEAT TEMPERATURE AND TIME, HYDROGEN, ETC.). /AUTHOR/
