Monel 400 nickel alloy and AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel dissimilar fusion welding influenced in very important fields like oil, nuclear, space industries and petrochemical where high temperatures and corrosive environments are involved with weldments. Also, this dissimilar joint extremely important with environments demand high heat resistance, corrosion resistance, resistance thermal cycles consequences, creep resistance and good mechanical properties. One of the most important advantages of dissimilar welds is saving of novel and expensive materials cost. Dissimilar welding joints in this research produced with gas tungsten arc welding techniques (GTAW) and ENiCrFe-2 filler. Welding joint configuration simulated welding joint design in real working site to achieved best results and asses real welding site up. SEM/EDS analysis, optical microstructure examination, Vickers microhardness test, tensile test and V-notch impact test employed to study and understand welding microstructure details and properties and its impacts in weldment mechanical properties. Research results reveals formation of partial melting zone (PMZ), unmixed zone (UZ) and second phase in HAZ while dendritic solidification with heat flow direction, epitaxial growth, cellular epitaxial solidification and migrated grain boundaries (MGBs) observed in welding zone microstructure, this research deeply analyses formation of these phenomena, and its effects on weldments mechanical properties were discussed. This research results are very important to welding technologist and engineers to understand and prediction resultant welding zone and HAZ microstructures and understanding its impacts on required weldments design criteria when establish welding procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
