AISI Type 304L (UNS S30403) austenitic stainless steels are widely used in spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, and welding is an indispensable tool used for joining these materials. In the present study, manual gas tungsten arc-welded (M-GTAW) and activated gas tungsten arc-welded (A-GTAW) weldments of Type 304L stainless steel were prepared to examine the microstructural and corrosion behavior of the weldments. A total of 6 passes were required to complete the 6 mm thick sample welding, and 16 passes were required for 12 mm thick sample welding using the M-GTAW process, compared to single-pass A-GTAW welding. Characterization of weld joints was done by radiography, optical microscopy, microhardness tester, a feritscope, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical microstructure of the fusion zone of weld joints showed delta ferrite in various morphologies. The presence of delta ferrite stringers were observed in the weld joints, extending from the weld metal to the base metal. The corrosion rate results showed that the M-GTAW sample showed only a marginal increase in the corrosion resistance when compared to those welded by the single-pass A-GTAW process. SEM examination revealed the morphology of attack in the base metal was predominantly intergranular while in the weld metal it was interdendritic. The SEM micrograph also showed preferential attack of the delta ferrite stringers.

X80 Steel

Twin-Wire Pulsed Tandem Gas Metal Arc Welding process with high welding production efficiency was used to join the girth weld seam of API X80 steel linepipe of 18.4 mm wall thickness and 1422 mm diameter. The macrostructure, microstructure, hardness, and electrochemical corrosion behavior of welded joints were studied. Effects of temperature and Cl− concentration on the corrosion behavior of base metal and weld metal were investigated. Results show that the welded joint has good morphology, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of both the base metal and the weld metal decreases with increasing temperature or Cl− concentration. In the solution with high Cl− concentration, the base metal and weld metal are more susceptible to pitting. The corrosion resistance of the weld metal is slightly lower than that of the base metal.

Austenitic stainless steel 316L has been widely used in marine environment which containing sodium chloride solution (NaCl). In order to provide matching properties with parent metal, filler metal SMA 316L is commonly produced with slightly over alloyed composition. This work investigated the corrosion behavior of base metal 316L and SMA 316L weld metal by using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to evaluate the mechanism of corrosion behavior based on impedance magnitude measurement at room temperature (27°C ). Various concentrations of sodium chloride solution i.e 1%,2%,3.5%,4% ,and 5% NaCl were prepared. Optical Metallography was also conducted to compare microstructure of base and weld metal. By using Nyquist graphs and its related equivalent circuit parameters showed that impedance magnitude of weld metal was higher which compared to base metal at any NaCl concentration. Metallography examination revealed that weld metal 316L had dendritic austenitic with delta ferrite and 316L base metal had austenite with typical twin boundaries structure. Higher chromium and nickel content in weld metal 316L was the key variable that control passive film characteristic rather than its microstructure. The lowest impedance magnitude of both 316L and all-weld metal 316L at various concentration was at 3.5% NaCl. Dissolved oxygen at 3.5% NaCl reach maximum solubility which causes severe pitting corrosion.

Autogenous laser welding of 5A90 Al–Li alloy sheets in a butt-joint configuration was carried out in this study. The microstructure characteristics of the weld metal and base metal in the horizontal surface and the transverse section of the welded joints were examined quantitatively using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results show that the weld metal in the horizontal surface and the transverse section exhibits similar grain structural features including the grain orientations, grain shapes, and grain sizes, whereas distinct differences in the texture intensity and misorientation distributions are observed. However, the base metal in the horizontal surface and the transverse section of the joints reveals the obvious different texture characteristics in terms of the grain orientation, grain morphology, predominate texture ingredients, distribution intensities of textures, and grain boundary misorientation distribution, resulting in the diversity of the microhardness in the base metal and the softening of the weld metal. However, the degree of the drop in the hardness of the weld metal is highly correlated to the microtexture developed in the base metal.

Purpose Duplex stainless steel is composed of equal amounts of austenite and ferrite, which has excellent corrosion resistance and strength. However, after the metal was welded, the ratio of austenite and ferrite in the joint is unbalanced, and secondary phase precipitates are produced, which is also an important cause of pitting corrosion in the joint. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to study the mechanical and corrosion behavior of welded joints, by adjusting the welding parameters of laser hybrid welding, dual heat sources are used to weld 2205 duplex stainless steel. The two-phase content of different parts of the welded joint is measured to study the influence of the ratio of the two-phase on the mechanical and corrosion properties of the joint. Findings The ratio of austenite and ferrite in different welded joints has an obvious difference, and from top to bottom, the austenite content decreased gradually, and the ferrite content increased gradually. The harmful phases are precipitated in the middle and lower part of the joint. The strength of welded joints is slightly lower than that of base metal. At the same time, the fracture analysis shows that some ferrite phases are affected by the precipitate in the grain and produce quasi-cleavage fracture. The corrosion results show that the corrosion resistance of the welded joints is lower than that of the base metal, and the concentration of chloride ions affects the corrosion resistance. Originality/value In this paper, the authors use the influence of different welding processes on the two-phase ratio of the joint to further study the influence of the microstructure on the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the weld.

To clarify the effect of the acid solution type on corrosion resistance, the corrosion behavior of stainless steel brazed joints in HCl aqueous solution was evaluated through electrochemical measurements. Anodic polarization curves of a ferritic stainless-steel base metal, Ni-based brazing filler metals, and a brazed joint were recorded. In addition, in situ observations were conducted to observe the corrosion behavior of each structure of the brazed joint. Corrosion potentials of the brazing filler metal were lower than that of the base metal. In situ observations of the brazed joint revealed the order of corrosion in aqueous hydrochloric acid. According to the electrochemical measurements, under an actual corrosive environment, the brazing filler metal can function as an anode and selectively corrode. In addition, the anodic polarization curve of the brazed joint showed values between those of the polarization curves of the brazing filler metal and the base metal, indicating that the corrosion resistance could be electrochemically evaluated in HCl aqueous solution.

The transformation behavior and microstructural evolution during continuous cooling within the heat affected zone between the weld beads of a 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V all-weld metal and the corresponding 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V base metal were investigated by means of dilatometer measurements, optical and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, macro-hardness measurements were conducted and the ferrite phase fraction was analyzed from optical microscopic images using an imaging processing program. Thereupon a continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram for the 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V base metal and three welding CCT diagrams with different peak temperatures were constructed to realistically simulate the temperature profile of the different regions within the heat affected zones between the weld beads of the multi-layer weld metal. The microstructural constituents which were observed depending on the peak temperature and cooling parameters are low quantities of martensite, high quantities of bainite and in particular lower bainite, coalesced bainite and upper bainite as well as ferrite for the welding CCT diagrams. Regarding the base metal CCT diagram, all dilatometer specimens exhibited a fully bainitic microstructure consisting of lower bainite, coalesced bainite and upper bainite. Only the slowest cooling rate with a cooling parameter of 50 s caused a ferritic transformation. Nevertheless, it has to be emphasized that the distinction between martensite and bainite and the various kinds of bainite was only possible at higher magnification using scanning electron microscopy.
