Estimation of mechanical properties of ferritic steel welds. Part 2: Elongation and Charpy toughness

Abstract Previous work presented models which can be used to estimate the yield and ultimate tensile strengths of ferritic steel welds. The present paper deals with properties that are much more difficult to predict: the elongation and Charpy impact toughness. While the models are found to be useful and emulate expectations from current physical metallurgy principles, it is clear that much more systematic experimental data are needed before the predictability becomes as good as the strength models of Part 1.
