Properties of Hastelloy joint welded via laser wire‐filling

Abstract

In this study, UNS N10003 Hastelloy is welded using laser wire‐filling welding. The welded joint exhibits favorable tensile strength at room and high temperatures. A molten salt corrosion experiment is performed, and it is discovered that the corrosion depth increases gradually as corrosion progresses, although the growth rate decreases. When the corrosion time reaches 96 h, the corrosion depths of the weld bead and base metal are 23.39 and 24.71 μm, respectively, indicating their similar corrosion resistance. The main corrosion mechanism of N10003 Hastelloy in molten salt is the diffusion of Cr and Mo. Ni3Fe and pure Ni phases appear near the outer surface area after corrosion, which can reduce the corrosion rate.

Research on the Low-Temperature Impact Toughness of a New 100-mm Ultra-Thick Offshore Steel Fabricated Using the Narrow-Gap Laser Wire Filling Welding Process

“…Fang [ 15 ] and others used narrow-gap laser wire filling welding on TC4, finding that the welded joint’s tensile strength was slightly higher than that of the base material. Zhang [ 16 ] and team welded TA1/Q235B bimetal plates using narrow-gap laser wire filling welding, observing a significant increase in the tensile properties of the welded joints compared to the base material. Guo [ 17 ] studied welding S60 high-strength steel with laser wire filling welding, indicating that traditional TIG welding induces higher residual stress and deformation in the welded joints.…”
