An Evaluation of Dynamic Crack Initiation Toughness in SS41 Steel Welding

SS41강 용접부의 동적균열개시인성 평가

In the present study, the dynamic crack initiation toughness and total absorbed energy behavior of Heat Affected Zone(HAZ) was experimentally evaluated for SS41 steel welding. The materials were submerged arc-welded SS41 steel plate with thickness 19mm. The test temperature range was from $20^{\circ}C$(room temperature) to $-70^{\circ}C$ The HAZ of welding were divided into three sub-zones for analysis; H1, H2, H3, according to the distance from the fushion line. From the experimental studies, the reference value of dynamic crack initiation toughness $(J_{Id(R)})$ can be use to estimate dynamic fracture toughness characteristics of steel welding.
