Post-weld heat treatment influence on galvanic corrosion of GTAW of 17-4PH stainless steel in 3·5%NaCl

Abstract: The influence of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), solution annealing followed by aging at 480, 550 and 620uC on the galvanic corrosion in 17-4PH stainless steel weldment in 3?5%NaCl was studied. Potentiodynamic polarisation revealed that all PWHTs improve the passivity of weld region by increasing the pitting potential. Heat affected zone disappears, and base and weld regions act as the anode and the cathode respectively. Zero resistance ammetry measurement for 42 h showed that PWHTs improve the galvanic corro… Show more

“…The observation of the current study is aligned with the previous reported results that ferrite formation in stainless steels is different among those with dissimilar compositions [2][3][4][5]10,11]. In the study, we found that ferrite formation in steel ingots was highly relevant to the mushy zone temperature.…”

“…Ferrite could be also formed during the forging process for implementing an inappropriate high temperature in thermal treatment, or an overtime heat preservation procedure [2,3]. Ferrite formation, in correspondence to temperature, was estimated by Equation (4).…”

“…It is noticeable that the microstructure of HAZ (Figure 3a) and base metal (Figure 3b) show a great difference. Martensite lath is dissolved and the grain boundaries of prior austenite become obvious (Figure 3a), which correlates with Figure 2 [9,10]. The microstructure of 17-4PH after PTAW may be affected by two processes, namely, (1) element diffusion during welding and (2) welding heat input and welding cold cycle after PTAW.…”
