Abstract:Beam welded joints made from fine grain steels show martensitic micro structure, high weld hardness and thus low toughness in the weld seams. At the same time there is a risk for these welds to have crack-like defects that cannot be detected during the production and which grow due to cyclic loading. If such structures are used in areas with low ambient temperatures, it may come to brittle failure of the component.
To secure components against such failure, fracture mechanic tests were carried out on electron … Show more
