In the present work, coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) was simulated by Gleeble 3800 thermo-mechanical simulator. A continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram was generated from the results of the dilatometer, hardness, and microstructure analysis. The heating rate of 100 °C s−1, the peak temperature of 1300 °C, the holding time of one second, and thirteen different cooling conditions representing the actual welding condition were chosen here for simulation where the cooling rate was controlled by t8/3. At slow cooling rate ferrite, cementite, pearlite, and bainite were obtained. At a medium cooling rate, ferrite, bainite, and a small amount of martensite were observed. At a fast-cooling rate i.e., 100 °C s−1 fully martensite was obtained. The obtained hardness values were 225 HV, 263 HV, and 342 HV for slower, medium, and fast cooling rates respectively. The increase in hardness value shows that the amount of non-diffusional phases increases with an increase in cooling rate. The CCT curve shows the range of cooling rate and phase transformation temperature of ferrite, bainite, and martensite.
