Objective
Among the steel properties, the aptitude for welding has a paramount importance for markets such as earth moving vehicles, bridges, naval and offshore constructions and so on. The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate that welding under very severe and productive conditions is possible by using high quality steels associated to fine microstructures in the welds. The project aims, as well, to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of LASER and Electron Beam Welding welding techniques. In this respect, special steel compositions or innovative welding techniques will be investigated in order to get higher toughness properties without welding defects. The research will also contribute to a better definition of criteria for quality acceptance in high energy density welds.
