Investigations on the structure – Property relationships of
electron beam welded Inconel 625 and UNS 32205
بررسی روابط خواص-ساختار اتصال Inconel 625 به UNS 32205
به روش جوشکاری پرتو الکترونی
ABSTRACT
The metallurgical and mechanical properties of electron beam welded Ni based superalloy Inconel 625 and UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel plates have been investigated in the present study. Interface microstructure studies divulged the absence of any grain coarsening effects or the formation of any secondary phases at the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the electron beam (EB) weldments. Tensile studies showed that the fracture occurred at the weld zone in all the trials and the average weld strength was reported to be 850 MPa. Segregation of Mo rich phases was witnessed at the inter-dendritic arms of the fusion zone. The study recommended the use of EB welding for joining these dissimilar metals by providing detailed structure – property relationships.
Laser welding of CP Ti to stainless steel with
different temporal pulse shapes
جوشکاری لیزر CP Ti به فولاد زنگنزن با شکلهای ضربان زمانی مختلف
ABSTRACT
CP Ti and stainless steel sheets were laser welded by using a pulsed wave Nd:YAG laser welding system. The effect of pulse profiles used in laser welding was studied by investigating weld appearance, weld geometry, microstructure, hardness variation, joint strength and failure mode of welds. Weld quality was strongly affected by the temporal pulse profile adopted in laser welding. In comparison with the use of a normal rectangular pulse profile, stronger welds with a better homogeneity and a complex fracture mode were achieved by using a ramp-down pulse profile. This quality enhancement was contributed from the less degree of intermixing between two welding materials in melting pools.

Influence of solidification on the microstructural evolution
of nickel base weld metal
تاثیر انجماد بر تحول ریزساختاری فلز جوش پایه نیکل
ABSTRACT
The effect of segregation resulting from solidification on the microstructural evolution of nickel base alloys was investigated. Two different groups of alloys were produced to simulate either the Hastelloy C type or the Inconel 625/718 type of alloys. Gravitational thermal analysis welding was performed on these experimental alloys and the extent of microsegregation in the weld metal was determined. Using composition profiles obtained from solidified microstructures, predictions of the phase stability of these microstructures were made based on metal d-level (Md) calculations. The maximum Md values obtained in these microstructures were compared with those critical to the formation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases such as sigma, P, and Laves. These profiles showed an increase in the Md level in the interdendritic regions which was correlated to the formation of TCP phases.

ABSTRACT
CONTROL OF OXIDES AND SULPHIDES : Clean steel practices at the BHP Steel Ltd, Flat Products plant have always been related to customers’ requirements and expectations. Monitors were developed for critical cleanness grades from either in-house tests or from customer supplied data. Some of these monitors have been in existence for nearly 20 years and have successfully guided process improvements both in steelmaking and in continuous slab casting, such as ladle opening with submerged shroud, vibration ladle slag detection, argon shielding of delivery systems, weir wall design, and quick melting ux addition to the tundish on start up.
Effect of heat input on microstructure and mechanical properties of
dissimilar joints between super duplex stainless steel and high strength low alloy steel
اثر حرارت ورودی بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی اتصالات غیر مشابه بین
فولاد زنگ نزن سوپر دو فازی و فولاد کم آلیاژ با استحکام بالا
ABSTRACT
In the present study, microstructure and mechanical properties of UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS)/API X-65 high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) dissimilar joint were investigated. For this purpose, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used in two different heat inputs: 0.506 and 0.86 kJ/mm. The microstructures investigation with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction showed that an increase in heat input led to a decrease in ferrite percentage, and that detrimental phases were not present. It also indicated that in heat affected zone of HSLA base metal in low heat input, bainite and ferrite phases were created; but in high heat input, perlite and ferrite phases were created. The results of impact tests revealed that the specimen with low heat input exhibited brittle fracture and that with high heat input had a higher strength than the base metals.
Effects of Heat Input on Pitting Corrosion in
Super Duplex Stainless Steel Weld Metals
اثر حرارت ورودی بر خوردگی حفرهای در جوش فلزات فولاد ضد زنگ سوپر دوبلکس
ABSTRACT
Due to the difference in reheating effects depending on the heat input of subsequent weld passes, the microstructure of the weld metal varies between acicular type austenite and a mixture of polygonal type and grain boundary mixed austenite. These microstructural changes may affect the corrosion properties of duplex stainless steel welds. This result indicates that the pitting resistance of the weld can be strongly influenced by the morphology of the secondary austenite phase. In particular, the ferrite phase adjacent to the acicular type austenite phase shows a lower Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PRE) value of 25.3, due to its lower chromium and molybdenum contents, whereas the secondary austenite phase maintains a higher PRE value of more than 38. Therefore, it can be inferred that the pitting corrosion is mainly due to the formation of ferrite phase with a much lower PRE value.
Effect of welding parameters on the solidification microstructure
of autogenous TIG welds in an Al–Cu–Mg–Mn alloy
تاثیر پارامترهای جوشکاری بر میکروساختار انجمادی جوش های TIG
بدون ماده پر کننده در یک آلیاژ Al–Cu–Mg–Mn
ABSTRACT
The weld metal microstructures of autogenous TIG welds have been investigated for a range of welding conditions using an Al–Cu–Mg–Mn alloy. It was found that a combination of high welding speeds and low power densities provide the thermal conditions required for the nucleation and growth of equiaxed grains in the weld pool, providing heterogeneous nucleation sites are available. The most likely origin of the nucleants is from a combination of dendrite fragments and TiB2 particles that survive in the weld pool. The finest microstructure was observed in the centre of the weld and is attributed to the higher cooling rates which operate along the weld centreline. Composition profiles across the dendrite side arms were measured in the TEM and were found to follow a Scheil type segregation behaviour where there is negligible back diffusion in the solid. The measured core concentration of the dendrite side arms was found to rise with increasing welding speed and was attributed to the formation of significant undercoolings ahead of the primary dendrite tip, which enriched the liquid surrounding the dendrite side arms.

ABSTRACT
The temperature distribution and residual stresses for a GTAW circumferential butt joint of AISI 304 stainless steel using numerical simulation have been evaluated. For evaluation of weld induced residual stresses, the analysis of heat source fitting was carried out with heat inputs ranging from 200 to 500 J/mm to arrive at optimal heat input for obtaining proper weld penetration and heat affected zone (HAZ). For this chosen heat input, the influence of different weld speeds and powers on the temperature distribution and the residual stresses is studied. The heat source analysis revealed the best choice of heat input as 300 J/mm. The residual stresses on the inner and outer surfaces, and along the radial direction were computed. Increase in temperature distribution as well as longitudinal and circumferential residual stresses was observed with the increase in weld speed and power. The validity of the results obtained from numerical simulation is demonstrated with full scale shop floor welding experiments.
