Abstract: The morphological effect of martensise-austenite (M-A) constituents in weld coarse grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) on the toughness is studied quantitatively with a binary image processor for high strength steel. The results show that the volume fraction of the slender M-A constituents SVf affected the toughness. The toughness was degraded remarkably with the increase of SVf value, but this harm of slender particles was eliminated as SVf value excceed a particular value because of the vicinity effect.
