Abstract: Creep effect becomes an important consideration in the design of high-strength steel structures subjected to a soaking period at elevated temperatures such as in stress-relieving post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) circumstances. ...

Abstract: In this study, an experimental investigation of the thermal effect of welding on the mechanical behavior of thermomechanical control process (TMCP) high-strength steel (HSS) Q690CFD is carried out. Twenty-four specimens ...
