Abstract

The connecting of contrasting metals, namely double stainless steel to steel made of carbon, has taken place. performed using a hybrid welding system. A TIG and MIG welding joining based hybrid joining method was designed. The microstructures of the dissimilar metal joints were studied and the grains are coarser as contrast to the use of a single the welding process process by itself. With the addition of TIG welding to the process of MIG welding, the water-holding capacity of the metal in molten state pool is significantly improved. The nominal corrosion behaviour of the weldments was found better than the single arc welding system alone. The passivation behaviour of the joints was in the similar line to that of double stainless steel base metal. The pitting resistance of the joints in 1 M NaCl solution was inferior to the base metals.
