“…For the DSS welds, several research works have been carried out to examine the effect of weld metal chemistry and heat input [6], the corrosion behavior in aggressive environments [13], and the effect of post-weld heat treatments on their microstructure and mechanical behavior [14,15]. The strain heterogeneity that occurs during loading and the contribution of austenite and ferrite phases to the global mechanical behavior of the DSS weld joints in either static or dynamic loadings have been well discussed in the literature [16][17][18][19].…”
