Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the current era, the Advanced Ultra Super-Critical (AUSC) plants have been used to substantially increased efficiency with environmental protection. AUSC components boiler header, re-heater and super-heater tube etc. are fabricated by using advanced materials to join by the welding process. Any failure of the power plant can lead to grave consequences, not only of substantial financial losses but additionally immensely treasured and irreparable human life loss. In this review, the dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) have many issues such as metallurgical issue, cracking, carbon migration, welding electrode selection, creep properties, suitable welding process and structure integrity issues which enhanced the failure of weldments. The results of our review showed that DMWs of AUSC power plant are joined by activated flux Tungsten Inert Gas (A-TIG) and Pulse A-TIG process to increase the productivity and cut the significant fraction of cost. However, A-TIG process with Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) improved the mechanical properties and high-temperature creep resistance properties of DMWs. This state of the art is encouraged the researchers about the enormous future scope.
