C. Shiga, Systematic approach to solution of welding problems in STX21 project: aiming for remarkable advances in welded joints, SCI TEC W J, 5(6), 2000, pp. 356-364
Research activities, as part of the Japanese STX21 project, involving weldi
ng of 800 MPa high strength steels with reduced carbon equivalents achieved
through grain refinement are described. Results from tests of spray coatin
g to impart corrosion resistance and from creep cracking tests in the heat
affected zones of heat resistant steels are also briefly introduced. (C) 20
