Abstract: The cleavage fracture mechanism of granular bainitie weld metal in 15MnVN steel has been investigated.SEM observation of a special specimen for revealing simultaneously fracture sur- face and microstructure shows that the cleavage of the weld is initiated by M-A constituent. The 95th percentile equivalent diameter of M-A constituent controls the cleavage fracture stress of the weld metal.

Key words: granular bainite, M-A constituent, weld, cleavage fracture
