Study of a large number of commercial and experimental electrodes welded under various conditions has revealed the influence of weld metal analysis@ tensile strength@ electrode size@ coating design@ stress relief heat treatments@ preheat@ welding position@ dilution and restraint on the Charpy V-notch properties. Welding procedures are suggested which favor the highest possible notch toughness.
