Introduction Results
Underwater wet welding is commonly used to repair corroded offshore Load-deformation 300 200
steel structures. The study presents an investigation on strength and
ductility of underwater fillet-welded joints. Fourteen different types of Ultimate load
microstructures are investigated. Differences between underwater and in- Fracture LYA 100
air fillet welds are examined in terms of strength, ductility, and failure deformation 100
