Study on Evaluation of AE Signals at Weld Region of SA 516 Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to find out the method to detect AE signals at around the notch tip and to evaluate the AE signal characteristics for the basemetal, PWHT(post weld heat treatment) and weldment specimens of SA-516 steel during bend test. AE signals were produced in the process of plastic deformation. AE signal strength and amplitude of the weldment was the strongest, followed by PWHT specimen and basemetal. More AE signals were produced from the weldment because of the oxides, and discontinuous mechanical properties. The stronger AE signal strength, amplitude and more AE event counts for the weldment were shown.
