The paper considers recent trends in material for offshore structures and their influence on the principal weldability problems of weld metal and HAZ hydrogen cracking and on weld metal and HAZ toughness together with the results of some recent research. Future requirements to allow reduction of cost by elimination of preheat and use of higher heat inputs are considered.
