Abstract: The procedure for making crack starter weld deposit on drop-weight test (DWT) specimens was altered from two passes to one pass in about 1990. The effects of some parameters of crack starter ...

Abstract: Four-point bending and rotating bending fatigue tests were conducted on socket-welded joints made of carbon, stainless, and Cr-Mo steels for clarification of the effects of diameter, welding pass ...

Abstract: The authors conducted fully reversed four-point bending fatigue tests on socket-welded joints 20 to 50 mm in nominal diameter, and rotating bending fatigue tests on socket-welded joints 20 mm ...
