This study aims to obtain fundamental knowledge on the mechanical properties of high strength steels and high strength weld metals at arctic low temperatures. Tensile coupon tests were conducted on two types of high strength steels (Q890, Q960) and three types of high strength weld metals (ER100S-G, ER110S-G, ER120S-G) at temperatures ranging from -75°C to 25°C. The stress-strain responses and key mechanical properties were analyzed and prediction equations for these properties at arctic low temperatures were proposed.
This paper attempts to acquire fundamental knowledge on the mechanical properties of high strength steels and the corresponding high strength weld metals at arctic low temperatures. Two types of high strength steels (Q890, Q960) and three types of high strength weld metals (made of ER100S-G, ER110S-G, ER120S-G feedstock wires) were tested at arctic low and ambient temperatures ranging from -75 degrees C to 25 degrees C. Tensile coupon specimens for steel materials were directly extracted from high strength steel plates, whilst robotic gas metal arc welding was employed to fabricate the tensile specimens of weld metals. The tensile coupon specimens were designed as per ASTM E8M and wire-cut into shapes. Twenty-three tensile coupon tests on high strength steels and eighteen tensile coupon tests on high strength weld metals were carried out. Coupon specimens were tested in liquid nitrogen cooling chamber to mimic the arctic low temperature environment. The stress-strain responses and key mechanical properties of high strength steels and weld metals at both ambient and arctic low temperatures are presented and discussed. Prediction equations for key mechanical properties, including the Young's modulus, yield stress and ultimate tensile strength, of high strength steels and weld metals at arctic low temperatures were proposed.
