Abstract

The effect of welding parameters on GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding) between low carbon steel and 3CR12 ferritic stainless steel with ER308L filler metal was investigated with regard to microstructure and mechanical properties. The welded metal presented good configuration. The microstructure of weldment was found to be of widmanstatten austenite, acicular ferrite and martensite. Martensite and Cr-rich carbide precipitated particles formed under certain conditions in weldment produced results of both better hardness values and tensile strength. The results indicated that influence of these welding parameters have significant effects on microstructure and mechanical properties in welded metal.
