Book Description
The relative susceptibility to hydrogen-assisted cracking of AX-140 welds on HY-130 plate material and on AX-140 all-weld-metal specimens was investigated. Controlled amounts of diffusible hydrogen were introduced into these weldments by using the pulsed-current gas metal arc welding process with additions of hydrogen or moisture to the shielding gas. The critical hydrogen content required for crack initiation and propagation was determined by the augmented strain cracking (ASC) test. Crack initiation and propagation were monitored with acoustic-emission techniques. Although hydrogen-assisted cracking invariably initiated in the fusion zone, it frequently propagated into the heat-affected zone. Crack propagation through the weld metal was not always related to the solidification structure. The critical hydrogen content to initiate cracking in AX-140 welds on HY-130 plate was approximately 1 ppm, whereas in AX-140 welds on AX-140 all-weld-metal the critical hydrogen content was approximately 3 ppm. This difference is cracking susceptibility was ascribed to the difference between the base-metal and the fusion-zone analyses.

Book Description
The cracking that may occur near the fusion zone of a steel weldment can often be attributed to the embrittlement of the microstructure by hydrogen induced during the welding process. The modified implant test was used in this case to evaluate the hydrogen-assisted cracking susceptibility of three separate heats of HY-130 steel, which included both cast and wrought plate. Welding was accomplished by the gas metal-arc spray transfer process. Cracking in all plates was observed to initiate and propagate in an area near the weld interface. The exact location of the fractures varied according to the amounts of diffusible hydrogen present and the type of material being tested. The effect of stress intensity together with hydrogen content on the mode of fracture present is also addressed in detail. (Author).

Book Description
The present research has the following objectives: (1) To evaluate the interrelationship among the mechanical, metallurgical, and chemical factors responsible for hydrogen-induced cracking in HY-130 steel weldments using the Augmented Strain Cracking Test. (2) To determine the effect of preheat and interpass temperatures and times on level of hydrogen retained. (3) To study, with the aid of acoustic emission technology and both electron and optical microscopy, the mechanisms for nucleation and propagation of hydrogen-induced cracks. (4) To recommend soundly based yet practical procedures for eliminating hydrogen-induced cracking in HY-130 weldments. Testing performed to date has been restricted to a constant augmented strain of 0.5%. This level of strain produces a stress in the outer fibers slightly in excess of the yield stress. Effects of the following are discussed: Hydrogen Content; Preheat; Postheat; Hydrogen Distribution Experiments.
Welding Metallurgy and Weldability

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Describes the weldability aspects of structural materials used in a wide variety of engineering structures, including steels, stainless steels, Ni-base alloys, and Al-base alloys Welding Metallurgy and Weldability describes weld failure mechanisms associated with either fabrication or service, and failure mechanisms related to microstructure of the weldment. Weldability issues are divided into fabrication and service related failures; early chapters address hot cracking, warm (solid-state) cracking, and cold cracking that occur during initial fabrication, or repair. Guidance on failure analysis is also provided, along with examples of SEM fractography that will aid in determining failure mechanisms. Welding Metallurgy and Weldability examines a number of weldability testing techniques that can be used to quantify susceptibility to various forms of weld cracking. Describes the mechanisms of weldability along with methods to improve weldability Includes an introduction to weldability testing and techniques, including strain-to-fracture and Varestraint tests Chapters are illustrated with practical examples based on 30 plus years of experience in the field Illustrating the weldability aspects of structural materials used in a wide variety of engineering structures, Welding Metallurgy and Weldability provides engineers and students with the information needed to understand the basic concepts of welding metallurgy and to interpret the failures in welded components.
