Abstract
In this investigation, microstructural variation across the dissimilar weld joint between modified 9Cr-1Mo ferritic steel and 316LN stainless steel with nickel-based filler metal was fabricated and characterized by various techniques. It was observed that the heterogeneous microstructure and non-uniform microhardness were developed across the dissimilar weld joint. Carbon-depleted soft zone, carbon-enriched hard zone, type I and type II boundaries are evident at the P91 heat-affected zone (HAZ) – buttering layer interface. An unmixed zone was observed at the weld metal-316 LN stainless steel HAZ interface. Distinct microstructures were developed across the dissimilar weld joint are due to the mismatch in chemical composition, crystal structure and melting temperature difference between base metals and filler metal.
