Abstract

In the welding process of jackets for offshore platform, transverse weld cracks occur frequently, even when welding techniques, welding materials and marine steel plates used are stringently selected. But now defect failure analysis and mechanism study on this issue are scarce. To fully study the causes of transverse weld cracks of marine thick steel plate, this research uses instruments including metalloscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and Auger Electronic Spectrom (AES). Researchers conclude that transverse weld cracks are welding hot cracks.

Keywords
