Effect of welding processes and consumables on fatigue crack growth behaviour of armour grade quenched and tempered steel joints

Quenched and Tempered (Q&T) steels are widely used in the construction of military vehicles due to its high strength to weight ratio and high hardness.These steels are prone to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) in the heat affected zone (HAZ) after welding.The use of austenitic stainless steel (ASS) consumables to weld the above steel was the only av
