Visual and metallographic examination of the fatigue fracture faces of a second series of experimental flash welds in low carbon austenitic manganese steel (IM-MET-001)

In an attempt to optimise the flash welding conditions for low carbon austenitic manganese steel, a series of 36 welds were made varying welding machine parameters. In order to assess the quality of the welds, fatigue tests were carried out on each weld and the results used to calculate the...
