Underwater welding offers a wide range of applications in a variety of disciplines. The notion
of underwater welding appeals to many in the naval construction industry since it effectively …

The high-strength low-alloy S460ML and S460N steels were chosen for underwater wet
welding of dissimilar T-joints using covered electrodes. For improving the quality of joints …

In this paper, the effects of different hydrophobic coatings on the surface of covered
electrodes on the quality of wet welded carbon steel joints were discussed. Commonly …

Some marine and offshore structure elements exploited in the water cannot be brought to
the surface of the water as this will generate high costs, and for this reason, they require in …

In this paper the influence of in situ local heat treatment performed by additional stitches on
the weldability of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) S355J2C+ N steel was tested. The …

Thermo-mechanically rolled S460ML steel was chosen for welding in underwater wet
welding conditions by covered electrodes. The main aim of this study was to check the …

Extreme atmospheric conditions in the marine and offshore industry are harmful to
engineering materials, especially to welded joints, and may cause degradation of their …

Hydrogen-induced cold cracking is a huge challenge in underwater wet welding. In the
present study, the influence of water depth on the diffusible and residually stored hydrogen …

Several approaches have been used in the past to predict fatigue crack growth rates in T-
joints of the offshore structures, but there are relatively few cases of applying structural …

Hydrogen-assisted cracking is a major challenge in underwater wet welding of high-strength
steels with a carbon equivalent larger than 0.4 wt%. In dry welding processes, post-weld …
