EXPERIMENTAL AND PREDICTION OF CTOD METHOD

USED AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL AND ALLOY STEEL

WELDING

ABSTRACT:

As one of the essential criteria of assessment to welding toughness,

CTOD(Crack tip opening displacement) is widely applied in engineering.
With the development of the ocean engineering and highly Critical
Boilers material wants the high-strength steel and ultra-high-strength steel.
As the complicated welding joints, high-strength and large thickness, the
welding procedure of the marine structure and critical boilers becomes the key
to the construction of the platform.
So, the paper analysis the selection of promising steel like Austenitic
stainless steel and Alloy Steel material weld performance through evaluate the
Hardness and Toughness through CTOD.
The assessments on welded joints of the CTOD values are in the
acceptable range. This method provides some useful guidance in researches of
allowable CTOD values.
