Attributes of FSW and UWFSW butt joints of armour grade AA5083 aluminium alloy: Impact of tool pin profile.

AA5083 is an alloy of military-grade aluminum used to make lightweight combat vehicles. Combining this material with traditional welding methods results in the formation of grain agglomerations, alloy separation, porosity, and pores. To overcome these shortcomings, Friction stir welding was utilized.

Dissimilar autogenous TIG joint of Alloy 617 and AISI 304H steel for AUSC application.

To reduce costs and improve high-temperature performance in Advanced Ultra Super Critical (AUSC) boilers, it is necessary to weld austenitic steel to Inconel alloy. In this study, the autogenous tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process was used to join Alloy 617 and an austenitic AISI 304H steel plate of thickness 5 mm. Microstructural analysis showed that the microstructure formation was uneven along the weldments, with columnar and cellular dendrites near the interface while the central area of the weld exhibited a combination of columnar, cellular, and equiaxed dendrites.

High-Temperature Tensile Behaviour of GTAW Joints of P92 Steel and Alloy 617 for Two Different Fillers.

This study explores the high-temperature (HT) tensile rupture characteristics of a dissimilar gas-tungsten-arc-welded (GTAW) joint between P92 steel and Alloy 617, fabricated using ER62S-B9 and ERNiCrCoMo-1 fillers. The high-temperature tensile tests were performed at elevated temperatures of 550 °C and 650 °C. An optical microscope (OM) and a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) were utilized to characterize the joint.

P92 steel and inconel 617 alloy welds joint produced using ERNiCr-3 filler with GTAW process: Solidification mechanism, microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stresses.

The objective of the current study was to analyse the microstructure, mechanical characteristics, and residual stresses of a dissimilar welded joint (DWJ) made of P92 steel and the Inconel alloy 617 (IN617) using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) method. The ERNiCr-3 filler was selected to produce the conventional V groove (VG) and narrow V groove (NVG) butt joint. The filler deficient zones in the weldments, such as the filler deficient beach, i.

Investigation of Severe Plastic Deformation Effects on Magnesium RZ5 Alloy Sheets Using a Modified Multi-Pass Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) Technique.

The present study investigates the effects of multiple passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on magnesium alloy sheets with the assistance of an Inconel plunger along with a die setup having a channel angle of 120° and corner angle of 10° operating at a temperature of 200 °C followed by the required heat treatment processes. The microstructural analysis of the sheet samples at various stages of the multi-pass hot ECAP has shown evidence of ultrafine grain refinement (UFG) due to the occurrence of severe plastic deformation. X-ray diffraction analysis has also exhibited the presence of phases like MgZn and CeZn which is supposedly responsible for the enhancement of the mechanical properties.

Influence of PWHT Parameters on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Behavior of Multi-Pass GTAW Joints of P92 Steel.

The 9% Cr steels were developed for ultra-supercritical (USC) power plants to meet the requirements of high operating temperature and pressure. These steels are produced to operate at high temperatures where impact toughness is not a concern; however, it becomes important for the welded joints to have good impact toughness at room temperature for manufacturing. The present work investigates the effect of the post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) parameters, i.

Study on Microstructural Characterization, Mechanical Properties and Residual Stress of GTAW Dissimilar Joints of P91 and P22 Steels.

This article deals with the dissimilar joining of two different grade Cr-Mo steel (2.25Cr-1Mo: P22 and modified 9Cr-1Mo: P91) for power plant application. The dissimilar butt-welded joint was produced for conventional V groove design by using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process with the application of an ERNiCrMo-3 Ni-based super alloy filler.
