“…According to the results in Figure 7, the heat input and, with it, the cooling rate led to changes in the solidification mode, which is influenced by the extent of solute partitioning and the phase formation [20]. Specifically, the use of the GMAW-P plays an important role, generating an undercooling that promotes the rapid formation of grains, which tends to be fragmented by the high convection generated in the melt pool due to the high droplet/s transfers, promoting the formation of ferrite (F) and dispersed acicular ferrite (AF) in the weld, as can observed in all samples [21,22]. Trial 1 corresponds to Figure 7a,b, demonstrating the interface with XPF 1000 and CP800, respectively, and shows epitaxial growth from ferritic grains.…”
