| Abstract: | In this investigation,an attempt has been made to study the influence of welding consumables on the factors that influence cold cracking of armour grade quenched and tempered(Q&T) steel welds.Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) process were used making welds using austenitic stainless steel(ASS) and low hydrogen ferritic steel(LHF) consumables.The diffusible hydrogen levels in the weld metal of the ASS and LHF consumables were determined by mercury method.Residual stresses were evaluated using X-ray stress analyze... |
