Mechanical Properties of

As shown in Fig. 5A and Appendix
Table A-3, the MIL-70S-3 weld metal easily met the HSLA-65 specified tensile requirements at the low weld cooling rate

sile test occurs in
"~-"0'0
the weld metal below 78 ksi. This confirms that for pure tension loading, the
weld metal must be matching or overmatching in tensile strength (Ref. 14). The
weld metal CVN toughness is also dependent upon the electrode/flux combination. As shown in Fig. 6B, the EM12K
electrode with flux 780 resulted in very
low CVN toughness at-20F when deposited at very low weld cooling rates
(Weldments 12, 6 and 7). Use of flux 860
improved toughness but at the expense of
weld metal yield and tensile strength
(Weldment C1). Use of flux 960 with
EM13K electrode resulted in the best
combination of strength and toughness
(Weldment C2) and would satisfy AWS
F7A2-EM13K conformance test requirements of 20 ft-lb at -20F (Ref. 5).

For each pair of weldments, the weldments differ only in electrode type; thus
no difference in HAZ toughness would
be expected. Appendix Table A-5 shows
that differences do exist, but there is no
pattern to the differences, which may be
due to having only two specimens available for testing per condition. Additionally, the alI-HAZ location does not always exhibit higher toughness than the
1-mm location, which can be attributed
to the presence of tougher weld metal in
the crack plane of the 1-mm location.
This scatter in HAZ toughness data again
illustrates the difficulty in adequately
characterizing the notch toughness of
weld HAZs by the CVN test.
As mentioned previously, the singlepass, one-side submerged arc weldments
were intentionally fabricated under
worse-case conditions using excessively
high energy input. This process has been
successfully qualified for HSS and implemented in ship fabrication using more realistic welding parameters. Additional
development would be needed to establish suitable procedure limits on singlepass, one-side SAW parameters for
HSLA-65 steel.
Microhardness
This work was conducted by the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT), operated
by Concurrent Technologies Corp.,
under contract N00140-92-C-BC49 to
the U.S. Navy as part of the U.S. Navy
Manufacturing Technology Program. The
NCEMT is pleased to acknowledge technical discussions on the evaluation and
certification of HSLA-65 with Charles
Null, John Dorn and Allen Manuel of the
Naval Sea Systems Command. The
NCEMT also thanks Joe Kasten of Oregon
Steel Mills for donating a portion of the
plate materials.
