Correlation between Tensile Deformation Behavior and Microstructural Morphology of Nuclear Grade Austenitic Stainless Steel Weld Joints using Infrared Thermography Technique
Abstract:Tensile deformation behavior of nuclear grade Austenitic Stainless Steel (SS) and its weld joints fabricated by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Activated flux Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (AGTAW) processes were studied and correlated with relevant microstructural morphologies using Infrared Thermography (IRT) technique. The microstructure of base metal showed a complete austenite phase. GTAW Fusion Zone (FZ) exhibited both primary ferrite and primary austenite mode of solidification. Meantime, AGTAW FZ exhibit… Show more
