The effect of welding processes on the microstructure, residual stresses and distortion in 16
mm thick 316LN stainless steel weld joints made by TIG and A-TIG (activated flux tungsten …

Welding introduces significant residual stresses in the welded structure/component due to
non-uniform heat distribution during heating and cooling cycle. To control, reduce, or …

Low Activation Ferritic–Martensitic steels (LAFM) are chosen as the candidate material for
structural components in fusion reactors. The structural components are generally fabricated …

The objective of the present investigation is to find the optimal set of process parameters to
achieve higher depth of penetration (DOP) in A-TIG welding of stainless steel (SS) alloy …

TIG welding has high levels of stability and permits more refined control than the majority of
other arc welding processes. However, it is well known that small changes in the chemical …

This research work articulates the microstructural features of the dissimilar weldments
involving Ni based superalloy Inconel 718 and martensitic stainless steel, AISI 416 that is …

Apart from different merits of using conventional gas tungsten arc welding (C-GTAW)
process, some demerits have been introduced among which shallow penetration is the most …

A-TIG welding employs a thin flux layer coated on the surface area to be welded. The flux
can be like oxides, chlorides, and/or fluorides. A-TIG welding improves the productivity by …

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is the most extensively used process capable of
fabricating a wide range of alloys based on its distinctive merits has been introduced …

The stress corrosion cracking behavior of duplex stainless steel (DSS) weld joint largely
depends on the ferrite-austenite phase microstructure balance. This phase balance is …
