The effects of titanium on the mechanical properties of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) of C-Mn steels.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The strength and toughness of low alloy steel shielded metal arc weld (SMAW) metal is markedly improved by the presence of the microconstituent acicular ferrite. Since acicular ferrite is nucleated by the non-metallic inclusions present in t...
