Abstract
Fe3Al intermetallic and 18–8 stainless steel were welded by means of tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding. The microstructure performance of the welding zone was analysed using a metalloscope and a scanning electron microscope. The test results indicated that microstructure of the welded metals consists of austenite, proeutectoid ferrite, acicular ferrite, carbide free bainite and lath martensite distributed on the austenitic boundaries as well as grains inside. The microhardness of the fusion zone was lower than that of Fe3Al base metal. The NiAl in the fusion zone was favourable to improve toughness and avoid the welding cracks.
