Test samples were prepared using a Gleeble 3500 thermo-mechanical simulator. The samples were heated in the range from 550°C to 1350°C and were subsequently quickly cooled. The specimens, together with the base material, were then subjected to tensile testing, impact testing, and micro-hardness measurements in the sample cross-section, as well as evaluation of their microstructure. Fracture surfaces are investigated in samples after impact testing. The heat-affected sub-zones studied indicate high sensitivity to the thermal input of welding. There is a significant decrease in tensile strength and yield strength at temperatures around 550°C.}, type={Article}, title={Physical Simulation of Individual Heat-Affected Zones in S960MC Steel}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/117791/PDF/AMM-2021-1-11-Mician.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.134762}, keywords={mechanical properties of heat affected zone, steel S960MC, physical simulation, Gleeble 3500}, }
