The present work aims to investigate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the dissimilar welded joint (DWJ) of martensitic A 335-grade P91 steel and high alloy ferritic austenitic A 182 F69 steel produced by the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The microstructural studies showed the variety of the microstructure across the DWJ, which formed mainly due to the solidification and solid-state phase transformation as a result of the weld thermal cycle. The microstructural studies were performed in as-welded as well as post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions. PWHT has been conducted to improve the mechanical properties of the P91 heataffected zone (HAZ) at 760 degrees C (PW 1) and 810 degrees C (PW 2) for 2 h. For the mechanical properties of the DWJ, tensile tests, and microhardness tests were conducted. The fractured tensile specimen has been characterized using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The centre region of the weld metal showed the equiaxed dendrites while the interface near the boat fusion line, on both the P91 and F69 sides, showed the cellular and columnar dendrites. PWHT has observed a negligible effect on the microstructure and hardness of WFZ and F69 HAZ, while a significant change was observed for P91 HAZ. The tensile strength of the DWJ was measured maximum (735 MPa) for as-welded condition and reduced after the PWHT and for PW 2, it was measured lower than that of P91 and F69 base metal. The failure of the tensile specimen was also noticed in the soft inter-critical HAZ (ICHAZ) region for PW 2 condition.

Characterization of the soft zone in dissimilar welds joint of 2.25Cr-1Mo and lean duplex LDX2101 steel

Summary: The dissimilar weld joint of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and lean duplex LDX2101 steel was prepared using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process, and the microstructural stability and mechanical behavior of the weld were studied after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). The PWHT caused the formation of a soft zone at the interface of the weld metal and heat-affected zone in the 2.25Cr-1Mo side, and resulted in changes in hardness and impact toughness measurements.

Role of the Ni-based filler (IN625) and heat-treatment on the mechanical performance of the GTA welded dissimilar joint of P91 and SS304H steel

S. Sirohi, C. Pandey, A. Goyal

Summary: The current investigation focused on the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of dissimilar Gas Tungsten Arc Weld (GTAW) joint of heat-resistant ferritic/martensitic P91 and austenitic SS304H steel, using Ni-grade ERNiCrMo-3 filler. The results showed a heterogeneous microstructure formation across the weldments, leading to variation in mechanical behavior. In the as-welded condition, the weld metal exhibited high tensile strength and Charpy impact toughness, with improvements in mechanical properties observed after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT).

A semi-analytical model to predict residual stress distribution in thick wall girth weld with narrow gap welding

Baozhu Zhang, Wenchun Jiang, Yun Luo, Wei Peng, Yingjie Qiao

Summary: This paper studies the distribution of residual stress in thick wall girth welds using narrow-gap welding. The study finds that the heat input, wall thickness, radius thickness ratio, and number of welding passes have an effect on residual stress. A model for the distribution of welding residual stress through the wall thickness is proposed, and its results are in good agreement with finite element calculation results.
