TL;DR: In this article, SA508 low alloy steel and 304LN austenitic stainless steel were joined by Inconel 82 and 52 filler alloys, and the results showed that the joint produced with the latter has a better mechanical strength than the assembly fabricated with the former.
Abstract: In the present investigation, SA508 low alloy steel and 304LN austenitic stainless steel were joined by hot wire narrow gap gas tungsten arc welding. Inconel 82 and 52 were used as filler alloys. Evaluation of microstructure, micro-hardness, and tensile strength through in situ test in scanning electron microscope were attempted for the welded assemblies. Low alloy steel consisted of a heat affected zone adjacent to interface. Athin layer of martensite and Type-I boundary were revealed near the fusion boundary between low alloy steel and weld metal. Micro-hardness distribution showed a peak near the fusion boundary between low alloy steel and filler alloy owing to the presence of lath martensite, Type- I boundary, and complex alloy carbides. The micro-hardness was further dropped within the filler alloy. During the in situ tensile test, deformation was confined within the filler alloy, as it was the weakest link across the fusion boundary. It was revealed that the joint produced with Inconel 82 filler alloy has a better mechanical strength than the assembly fabricated with Inconel 52 filler alloy. Inferior quality of the latter was attributed to the relatively coarser grain structure and the presence of larger alloy carbides within filler alloy when compared with the former. Improved strength of the weld with Inconel 82 filler alloy was further endorsed by the lower slip distance for dislocation movement and higher strain hardening rate in comparison to the weld fabricated with Inconel 52 filler alloy.

Abstract: Electron beam welding, first demonstrated in space on Soyuz 6, and later on the Skylab mission, appears to be the leading candidate for welding structures in space since it is ideally suited for the vacuum of space. These pioneering welding experiments were performed on terrestrial materials such as aluminium, titanium and stainless steel, and the results showed no significant differences from welds made on Earth. Future applications for welding in space include repair of existing structures, research and development activities, and construction of new structures. However, large scale space construction will need to exploit natural space resources for raw materials, and iron is expected to be a key element due to its availability in near-Earth objects. Here, we investigate the weldability of an extraterrestrial group IAB iron meteorite in its native state, and show that further welding innovation is required to directly join meteoritic material due to inherent non-metallic impurities that lead to ...

  • ...The morphology of the cracks suggests that they initiated while the metal was solidifying, and are commonly referred to as weld solidification cracks.(19) Such cracks are known to occur in steel alloys with high phosphorous and sulphur, since these elements partition to the remaining liquid during solidification, creating weak grain boundaries that can be pulled apart by the welding induced strains as the weld cools....

  • ...The high cooling rate in the HAZ of the weld would suggest that the transformation from taenite to kamacite would occur by a martensitic mechanism,(17) which is known to harden high carbon steels considerably relative to the base metal.(19) However, since there is no change in hardness between the base metal and HAZ, one can conclude that the kamacite is nearly a pure iron–nickel alloy with very low carbon so as not to produce a martensitic hardening effect....

TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental understanding of structure-properties relationship in automotive steels resistance spot welds is discussed. And a brief review of friction stir spot welding, as an alternative to RSW, is also included.
Abstract: Spot welding, particularly resistance spot welding (RSW), is a critical joining process in automotive industry. The development of advanced high strength steels for applications in automotive industry is accompanied with a challenge to better understand the physical and mechanical metallurgy of these materials during RSW. The present paper critically reviews the fundamental understanding of structure–properties relationship in automotive steels resistance spot welds. The focus is on the metallurgical characteristics, hardness–microstructure correlation, interfacial to pullout failure mode transition and mechanical performance of steel resistance spot welds under quasi-static, fatigue and impact loading conditions. A brief review of friction stir spot welding, as an alternative to RSW, is also included.
