Dataset on instrumented Charpy V-notch impact tests of different zones of electron beam welded S960M steel

In this paper, the dataset values of the Instrumented Charpy V-notch impact tests (ICITs) of base material (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ) and fusion zone (FZ) of the electron beam welded (EBW) joints of S960M high strength steel (HSS) of the related article have been presented. This dataset provides the force obtained by the ICITs, which can be used to further plot figures and describes the force (F)-displacement (s) graphs of the individual tested samples of the article. The absorbed impact energy measurements in each sample provide information on the material's behaviour under the impact load. The obtained absorbed impact energy indicates the material's toughness and whether the material failure will be ductile or brittle under impact load. The force-displacement curves from axial tensile loading of S960M specimens are presented. The graphs give information about the highest load and behaviour of load-displacement in axial tensile load testing. In addition, the microstructure images of the base material, fusion zone and different heat-affected subzones were taken by the optical microscopic and are the other parts of the data. ICITs data were collected during in situ impact testing of high strength structural steel S960M using Heckert instrumented impact testing equipment connected to a four-channel digital oscilloscope. A more detailed interpretation of the data presented in this article. The presented data are produced as part of the main work entitled “Experimental assessment of microstructure and mechanical properties of electron beam welded S960M high strength structural steel”.
