Investigation of penetrator defect formation during high frequency induction welding in pipeline steels

The aim of this study is to investigate the formation of oxide defects known as penetrators during high frequency induction welding process of high strength low alloy pipeline steels and to correlate their formation with the steel chemical composition. Penetrators formed during the welding process c...
