Abstract:The welding of dissimilar joints is very common in systems used in oil exploration and production in deep waters. This commonly involves welding low carbon steel pipes with valves, pumps or other pipes, all of them made of alloy steel. Inconel has been used in such welding as filler material; however, this welding is preceded by a process of buttering in the low alloy steel side and a stress relief heat treatment. An alternative technique presented in this paper is the use of a welding filler metal that, durin… Show more
