Graphic Abstract
-
100 mm thick steel plate with yield strength of 460 MPa for offshore platforms is fabricated by TMCP.
-
The SAW and FCAW HAZ specimens are consisted of AF, QPF, and small amounts of GB, BF, and secondary phases. Secondary phases are evenly distributed of the HAZ specimens. So the average Charpy absorbed energy at − 20 °C of the SAW and FCAWHAZ are very high at 100 and 230 J, respectively.
-
Plastic deformation occurred around the AF grain, leading to ductile fracture, while brittle fracture occurred without plastic deformation around the BF and GB grains, resulting in long unit crack paths.
