In the present study, electron beam welding (EBW) was used to join reduced-activation
ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steel to 316L stainless steel. Microstructural evolution and …

Tensile shear test is a suitable method to measure the interfacial bonding properties of
stainless steel clad plates with thin cladding layer. Herein, three kinds of testing samples …

The welded structural materials of nuclear power plants (NPPs) are susceptible to
environmentally-assisted cracking (EAC), represented by stress corrosion cracking (SCC), in …

In this paper, fiber laser butt welding on the dissimilar joint between reduced-activation
ferrite/martenstic CLF-1 steel and 316 L stainless steel with a thickness of 10 mm was …

Dissimilar high-energy beam (HEB) welding is necessary in many industrial applications.
Different composition of heat-affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal (WM) lead to variation in …

The dissimilar weld joints between 316L austenitic stainless steel and SS400 ferritic steel
were used to investigate the effect that microstructure exerts on hardness heterogeneity in …

The present study centres on the effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on
microstructure and mechanical properties of the deep penetration keyhole Tungsten Inert …

Welding is essential to construction and safe operation of fusion reactors. Besides fusion
materials themselves, small specimen test technologies (SSTT) are also essential to …

Transporting substances with high radioactivity used in nuclear medicine is strategic. Lean
duplex stainless steel UNS S32304 is a candidate for external construction of a cask for …

Arc welding generally introduces undesired local residual stress states on engineering
components hindering high-quality performance in service. Common procedures to reduce …
