Williams](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012403/5ab8c45b7f8b9aa6018d095d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
WHY?
• Verify adequacy of weld overlay for structural applications.
• Quantify as-welded properties.• Improve the ability to model the overlay
and predict consequences.

OBJECTIVES• Test Program
– Characterize and obtain key mechanical properties of as-welded overlay.
– Examine the bond between the weld overlay and base metal.
– Determine the impact of the weld overlay process on base metal.
– Compare fatigue strength of unrepaired and repaired plates.
• Finite element analysis– Compare simulation of weld overlay results and
plate distortion measurements.– Calibrate weld simulation process to improve the
accuracy of predicting distortion and residual stresses.
