Abstract
The methodology for assessing notch toughness of the HAZ of line pipe welds was examined by studying the effect of factors such as loading rate, the significance of Gleeble simulation, and notch orientation. Increasing the loading rate from slow bend to impact testing resulted in an increase in fracture transition temperature in the CGHAZ of approximately 70° C. The notch toughness of a Gleeble simulated CGHAZ structure was comparable to that of the CGHAZ of a high heat input SAW weld for a direct quenched experimental steel. The notch toughness of the CGHAZ depended on the orientation of the notch. For surface notched specimens, one line-pipe steel had a higher toughness than another; whereas for a through-thickness notch an opposite rating was observed for the same steels.
