Current welding consumables research in the U.S. Navy
- Naval Surface Warfare Center, Annapolis, MD (United States). Carderock Div.
US Navy research is being conducted on a number of topics pertaining to welding Navy steels with yield strengths exceeding 690 MPa. Four tasks are discussed in this presentation. HSLA-100 Welding Consumables Development addresses evaluation of experimental compositions, data analysis, and identification of optimum compositions. Low-Carbon Bainitic Weld Metals discusses the effects of alloying on weld metal strength and cooling rate sensitivity, and the effect of titanium-bearing inclusions on weld toughness. Weldability Methodology addresses weldability tests, diffusible hydrogen, and cracking models. Welding Fluxes discusses determination of flux composition and correlations with weld performance. Future research for each task is also described.
