Book Description
This report summarizes progress in producing evaluating welding electrodes containing known amounts of rare earth metal for reducing hydrogen embrittlement in HY-130 steel welds. Prior work indicated rare earth silicides lowered the notch strength of welds. In this report studies directed toward the use of rare earth-nickel additions as a possible means of improving this property while retaining the desirable effects of the rare earths. Results to this time indicate notch strength lowering by the rare earth-nickel also. (Author).

Pages : 40
Book Description
This report summarizes the first years investigation directed at improving the mechanical properties of HY-140 weld metal by controlling hydrogen contamination. The addition of 0.2 percent hydride formers (Misch Metal) to weld metal has been shown to eliminate diffusible hydrogen at room temperature when the argon arc shielding gas was contaminated to a 5 percent level. The hydrides formed were stable on heating to a temperature of 760 C. Misch Metal at the 0.1 percent level in the filler wire was transferred to the weld metal with an efficiency of about 20 percent and no change in metal transfer characteristics was noted. Wire with greater than 0.1 percent Misch Metal proved difficult to fabricate with the techniques investigated. (Author).

Hydrogenassisted Cracking in HY-130 Weldments

Pages : 61
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).
