Abstract

Industrial need for a high-strength, ferritic steel exhibiting desirable weldability, malleability, and corrosion resistance properties has led to the development of high strength, low alloy (HSLA) X-65 Steel. This class of steel uses small amounts of alloying material and very little carbon to make it more corrosion resistant than normal carbon-containing steels. As HSLA has gained popularity in automotive, naval, and other industries, the inherent need for better welding processes has arisen.
