Publication number: 20140301776Abstract: Provided are a welding method and a weld joint with which the fatigue strength of the box-welded joint of a gusset plate and a high-tensile steel can be dramatically improved. A welding method whereby a gusset plate is welded to high-tensile steel by means of box-welding, with a bead having a length of 17 mm or greater being formed at the ends of the gusset plate in the lengthwise direction using a welding material for which the martensite transformation starting temperature of the weld metal is 350° C. or less. In addition, a weld joint formed by welding a gusset plate to high-tensile steel using the aforementioned method; a method for repairing or reinforcing a box-welded part.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2012Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: Osaka UniversityInventors: Chiaki Shiga, Kazuo Hiraoka
