TL;DR: In this article, the influence of welding consumables and welding processes on hydrogen induced cold cracking of armour grade Q&T steel welds by implant testing was investigated and the welds made using FCAW process offered a higher resistance to HIC than all other welds considered in this investigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of welding consumables on tensile and impact properties of high strength, quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel joints was investigated using a shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt was made to explore an alternate consumable to replace expensive ASS consumables for welding quenched and tempered steels as they have higher solubility for hydrogen in austenitic phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt was made to study dynamic fracture toughness of the armour grade quenched and tempered steel and their welds fabricated using low hydrogen ferritic steel (LHF) consumables.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of welding consumables on high cycle fatigue properties of high strength, quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel joints was investigated using three different consumables namely (i) austenitic stainless steel, (ii) low hydrogen ferritic steel, and (iii) high nickel steel have been used to fabricate the joints by shielded metal arc welding process.
