Successful fabrication and expected service performance of any welded structure depend upon several factors. Among such factors suitable evaluation and selection of materials appropriate for the structure under consideration play an important role. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the most probable types of failure that may be expected in off-shore installations during fabrication and service and the remedies to be taken in order to minimize the risk for their occurrance. In this respect the influence of the metallurgical factors on material characteristics and their effect on service performance is discussed. The evaluation criteria used for selection of steels possessing adequate resistance properties to prevent initiation of failures according to present knowledge are presented. (Jensen)
