Fusion-welded austenitic stainless steel (ASS) was predominantly employed to manufacture dry storage canisters (DSCs) for the storage applications of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). However, the ASS weld joints are prone to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC), a critical safety issue in the nuclear industry. DSCs were exposed to a chloride-rich environment during storage, creating CISCC precursors.

Ultrasound can improve the quality of finished products by reducing porosity and enhancing microstructure in selective laser melting, directed energy deposition, and laser beam welding. This study evaluates the efficiency of ultrasound produced by a pulsed laser via the optoacoustic effect. A quantitative model of collapse of vapor-gas bubbles has been developed under the conditions of ultrasonic treatment at near resonance frequencies.

In this study, the relationships between the values of the parameters included in heat input (welding current, arc voltage and welding speed) and their effects on the size of the cross-sectional areas of welds in joints made of ferritic-austenitic stainless steel using the GMAW method were determined. An attempt was also made to determine to what extent it will be possible to predict the properties of fabricated welded joints using the functional relationship describing the effect of the value of heat input on the size of the cross-sectional area of welds. The analysis of the developed mathematical models shows their suitability for explaining (and predicting) the sizes of the cross-sectional areas of welded joints depending on the values of the input parameters of the welding process.

The use of a composite welded joint consisting of titanium and austenitic stainless steel metals is evidently a favourable selection for industrial applications employing the resistance spot welding (RSW) operation. Nevertheless, achieving a high-quality welded joint proved challenging owing to the properties of the diverse range of materials' used. To improve the quality of dissimilar welded joints, the welding parameters should be selected precisely.
