in the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding betweenastm a335 low alloy steel and er309l austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gastungsten arc welding process. the welding of dissimilar materials between astm a335 low alloy steeland er309l austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure when...

In this work, Slow Strain Rate Test (SSRT) testing, Light Optical Microscopy (LOM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to study the effect of microstructure, corrosive environments and cathodic polarisation on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of two grades of high strength steels, Type A and Type B. Type A is manufactured by quench and tempered (Q&T) method. Type B, a normalize stee...

In this work, a weld metal in K65 pipeline steel pipe has been processed through self-designed post-weld heat treatments including reheating and tempering associated with hot bending. The microstructures and the corresponding toughness and microhardness of the weld metal subjected to the post-weld heat treatments have been investigated. Results show that with the increase in reheating temperatu...

Cast nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) alloy is widely used for large engineering components in marine applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Casting porosity, as well as coarse microstructure, however, are accompanied by a decrease in mechanical properties of cast NAB components. Although heat treatment, friction stir processing, and fusion welding were im...

This study applied laser surface melting process using CW(Continuous wave) Yb:YAG laser and cold-work die steel SM45C and investigated microstructure and hardness. Laser beam speed, power and beam interval are fixed at 70 mm/sec, 2.8 kW and 800 μm respectively. Depth of Hardening layer(Melting zone) was a minimum of 0.8 mm and a maximum of 1.0 mm that exceeds the limit of minimum depth 0.5 mm a...

the effects of isothermal aging at temperatures between 550-850 ?c for durations of 1-100 h on microstructure, tensile properties, and impact fracture behavior of 316l austenitic stainless steel weld metal have been investigated. for this purpose, various techniques including metallographic observations, measurement of ferrite content using ferritscope, and fractographic investigations have bee...
