“…For the manufacturing of the HCSB using LAFM steel, different fabrication methods, such as machining, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), welding, etc., will be utilized. Among these, knowledge on joining technologies for LAFM steel is still insufficient even though many interesting results about welded joints of LAFM steel have been recently published [2][3][4]. In addition, since welding technologies would be the key factors for successful TBM fabrication, the development of various welding methods, such as electron beam welding (EBW), laser, tungsten inert gas (TIG), submerged arc welding (SAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), is on-going.…”
