Abstract

Thin wall joints for elevated temperature (~550 °C) applications can be prepared by Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and High Temperature Brazing (HTB) methods. The joints have been made and tests such as helium leak test (HLT), micro hardness test and tensile test were carried out. A study has been performed on these joining techniques to recognize the suitable method for high temperature applications. No observable leak was identified during HLT. Microstructures shows dissimilarity in solidification morphology due to disparity in heat sources. It has been identified that the joint made by brazing process having higher micro hardness value. Further, it has been observed that LBW joints have better mechanical properties than GTAW joints and HTB joints.
