Abstract

Weldability of 30mm thick ASTM 517 Gr.F steel is studied and welding parameters with submerged arc welding process are established. It is seen that heat input for welding such joints is very critical and should be controlled in close tolerances. Maintaining high interpass temperature is also detrimental. It causes to form a brittle heat affected zone.
