Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of Rolled Mild Steels and their Influences on Designing of Welded Steel Structures (Report 2)

Abstract

In this short report the author describes the anisotropic mechanical properties of rolled steel plates of 25 mm thickness and 80 mm thickness. Yielding points, tensile strength, elongation percentages, reductions of areas, bending angles and impact values are mesured by them in the directions of rolling (X), transverse (Y) and depth (Z). It should be noted that the ductility properties and impact values are showing inferiority in Z directions even in the cases of showing superiority in the other directions.
These tendencies are seemed to have rather close relations to their rolling methods than their kinds of ingots.
