Abstract

In this paper, the corrosion-fatigue behavior of 301L stainless steel (SS) welded joints using narrow gap laser wire welding under the different stress ratio and concentrations of Cl[Formula: see text] has been investigated. Corrosion fatigue life curve (S-N) under different conditions was tested and fitted to obtain the fatigue limit. The microstructures and fracture surfaces of specimens were examined by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). EBSD results have shown that chromium depletion in the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) contributes to the decrease of corrosion fatigue properties in the HAZ.
