The effects of the heat input and preheat/interpass temperatures on the tensile strength and impact toughness of multipass welded weld metal were investigated and interpreted in terms of the recovery of the alloying elements and microstructure. Increases in both the heat input and preheat/interpass temperatures decreased the tensile strength of the weld metal. A lower recovery of alloying elements, especially Mn and Si, and smaller area fraction of acicular ferrite in the weld metal were observed in higher heat input welding, resulting in a lower tensile strength. In contrast, only a microstructure difference was observed at a higher preheat/interpass temperature. The impact toughness of the weld metal gradually increased with an increase in the heat input because of the lower tensile strength. However, it decreased again when the heat input was larger than 45 kJ/cm because of the much smaller area fraction of acicular ferrite. No effect of the preheat/interpass temperature on the impact toughness was observed. The formation of a weld metal heat-affect zone showed little effect on the impact toughness of the weld metal in this experiment.

Macrostructural characteristic of the transverse cracks and fatigue behavior were studied for EH 32 TMCP 50mm thick plate welded with FACW under the variation in preheat and interpass temperatures. Transverse cracks were detected in specimen welded with preheat and interpass temperature below $30^{\circ}C$, but cracks were not detected in the specimens welded with preheat and interpass temperatures at the range of $100~120^{\circ}C$.C. The location of crack formation was found to strongly depend upon the thickness of weld layers as regard to the plate thickness.

Lamellar tearing susceptibility and through-thickness tensile ductility have been investigated in $40kg/mm^2 and 50kg/mm^2$ class tensile strength steel plates in terms of cleanliness of non-metallic inclusion and welding condition. The plate which had 0.01% cleanliness of A-type inclusion (MnS) had 61% of the reduction of area in the through-thickness direction and did not show lamellar tearing. Lamellar tearing susceptibility decreased with increasing the preheat and interpass temperature. The plate which had 0.04% cleanliness of A-type inclusion did not show lamellar tearing under the condition of 75.deg. C of preheat and interpass temperature.

Cold cracking of weldment is one of the most serious welding problems. A sufficient quantity of diffusible hydrogen, a residual stress, and a sensitive microstructure are the causes of cold cracking. Removal of any one of these factors can be used to prevent cold cracking. Application of flux cored arc welding process is increasing due to high productivity and easiness of welding. In addition, to prevent cold cracking in the HAZ or weldment, preheat temperature and interpass temperature have to be controlled. In this study, the effect of preheat temperature on the levels of diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal deposited using flux cored wire was examined. The levels of preheat temperature of base metal specimen were ambient temperature, 50, 100 and $150^{\circ}C$ respectively. The result showed that the increase of preheat temperature was a linear relationship with reduction of diffusible hydrogen content in weldment.
