Characteristics of Microstructure and Fracture Toughness According to the Groove Shape of Submerged Arc Welding by Yong-Taek Shin, Chang-Ju Jung, Seong-Han Bae, Gyubaek An, Myungrak Son, Young-Il Park

“…Microstructural analysis focused on acicular ferrite, grain boundary ferrite, and MA (Martensite–Austenite) constituents to assess their influence on CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement). The results indicate that the K-groove achieved a higher CTOD value of 0.82 mm compared to 0.13 mm for the X-groove, attributed to differences in microstructural composition and cooling rates. …”
