Abstract:When repairing or reinforcing existing structures made of old mild steel, the preferred joining method may be welding rather than bolting, as is usually the case. Due to the specific properties of old mild steels, special problems have to be considered. The weldability of old mild steels is particularly influenced by their highly scattering chemical composition, existing inclusions and their distribution in the component as well as their limited material toughness.
