Abstract
Different welding techniques are used in this study to evaluate the mechanical performance of weldments of HY-80 steel. Weldments
are prepared using different welding processes such as shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, and submerged metal arc. The
objective is to determine the optimum welding method for the steel. After welding, the effects of welding methods on weld metal micro-
structure and mechanical properties including weld metal tensile strength and Charpy V-notch impact toughness over the temperature
range 20 to 20 C are investigated. Charpy impact and tensile tests are performed on standard notched specimens obtained from the
welded and main sections of the material. The hardness distribution measurements on the differently welded specimens are conducted in
order to gain a deep insight of different welding methods.
