WRC - BULLETIN 345
ASSESSING FRACTURE TOUGHNESS AND CRACKING SUSCEPTIBILITY OF STEEL WELDMENTS - A REVIEW
| Organization: | WRC |
| Publication Date: | 1 July 1989 |
| Status: | active |
scope:
The literature survey reviews the domestic and foreign literature to determine, document and evaluate
(1) the parameters of welding that control weld-metal and HAZ cracking,
(2) tests for assessing the susceptibility of structural steel to weld-metal and HAZ cracking,
(3) the parameters of welding that control HAZ toughness, and
(4) tests for measuring the toughness of weld metal and HAZ. The work was performed and this report was prepared at the United States Steel Corporation Technical Center in Monroeville, PA and was sponsored by the Offices of Research and Development, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC. Publication of this Bulletin - WRC Bulletin No. 345 was sponsored by the Weldability Committee of the Welding Research Council.
