The effect of areas of differing hardness in the heat-affected zone of high-strength, low-alloy steels on structural behaviour

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-KE-121

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1987

End date 30 June 1990

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) "technical steel research", 1986-1990

Total cost € 407 000,00

EU contribution € 244 200,00

Coordinated by

Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH)
Germany

Objective

The effects on component behaviour of softening areas in the heat-affected zone are to be assessed. The research on a steel similar to STE 500 TM and a water-quenched steel ST E 690 may help in the specification of suitable welding conditions for high-strength low-alloy steels.
