Based on carbon and carbon equivalent of the alloying elements, weldability
map has been developed for low alloy steels. and the preheat temperature c
ontours have been drawn using Seferian type of equation. Considering the he
at flow, the heat input and the preheat temperature of the weld plate are r
elated and transferred to the weldability map to include the heat input val
ues and the cooling time contours in the map.
