Abstract
The effects of varying nitrogen and titanium contents on the as-desposited (AW) and artificially strain aged (SA) shielded metal arc weld metal (SMAW) properties have been investigated. The purpose of the study was to examine the Charpy-V and crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness behaviour of ferritic weld metals with respect to static strain ageing. The response of weld metals to strain ageing was established by clarifying the exact role of each element and interactions between these elements with respect to nine weld metal microstructure, strain ageing and fracture toughness properties. Systematic additions of titanium (in the range of 5 ppm to 450 ppm) and nitrogen (80 ppm to 260 ppm) were made to obtain various amounts of acicular ferrite and different microstructures which led to varying fracture behaviours and sensitivity to strain ageing. Artificially strain aged welds were obtained by two subsequent processes; (1) local compression (4%) of the weld region in the plate thickness direction at room temperature and (2) ageig at 250 C for 1/2h. An increasing nitrogen content in the weld metals leads to an increase in strenght and hardness and impairs the fracture toughness properties associated with an incrase of coarser microstructure and due
