Part 1: Factors Which Affect Low-Alloy Weld Metal Notch-Toughness
Bulletin / Circular by Welding Research Council, Inc., 1960
S.S. Sagan, H.C. Campbell
Full Description
Study of a large number of commercial and experimental electrodes welded under various conditions has revealed the influence of weld metal analysis, tensile strength, electrode size, coating design, stress relief heat treatments, preheat, welding position, dilution and restraint on the Charpy V-notch properties. Welding procedures are suggested which favor the highest possible notch toughness.
