TL;DR: In this article, the residual stress profiles of dissimilar pipe weld joints were determined using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and it was shown that the Inconel-82 buttering layer employed in the dissimilar weld joint is useful in reducing the residual stresses in the heat affected zone (HAZ) region on the ferritic steel side of such weld joints.

TL;DR: In this article, the peak temperatures attained at different points during deposition of weld beads in stainless steel and low carbon steel weld pads were compared, and the residual stress patterns developed, the change in the peak tensile stress with the deposition of welding beads and the relation between peak temperatures and residual stresses in the weld pads are discussed.
