Gradients in mechanical and fracture properties of SA-533B steel welds were
studied using ball indentation technique. The local stress-strain behavior
s of different microstructural zones of the weld were determined at various
temperatures. Gradients in the strength of the base metal, weld metal and
the different positions in the heat affected zone were observed to be consi
stent with the changes in the microstructure. The maximum in yield and the
corresponding minimum in indentation energy to fracture occurred at around
1 mm from the fusion line. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
