Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-MC-301

Project closed

Start date 1 October 1991

End date 30 September 1994

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 652 500,00

EU contribution € 343 500,00

Objective

Data concerning the relaxation behaviour of quenched and tempered high yield steels will be provided through this research project, including HAZ and weld metals, and may allow redefinition of rules for stress relieving high yield steels. Temperature and time conditions for stress relieving thick welded components to be found in codes are defined on the basis of classical construction steels with lower yield strengths. This research will provide fabricators with precise stress relieving parameters.
