TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used optical and electron scanning microscopy, tensile, Charpy V-notch impact and micro-hardness tests, and cyclic polarization measurements.
Abstract: In this study, dissimilar 316L austenitic stainless steel/2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) joints were fabricated by constant and pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding process using ER2209 DSS as a filler metal. Microstructures and joint properties were characterized using optical and electron scanning microscopy, tensile, Charpy V-notch impact and micro-hardness tests, and cyclic polarization measurements. Microstructural observations confirmed the presence of chromium nitride and delta ferrite in the heat-affected zone of DSS and 316L, respectively. In addition, there was some deviation in the austenite/ferrite ratio of the surface welding pass in comparison to the root welding pass. Besides having lower pitting potential, welded joints produced by constant current gas tungsten arc welding process, consisted of some brittle sigma phase precipitates, which resulted in some impact energy reduction. The tensile tests showed high tensile strength for the weld joints in which all the specimens were broken in 316L base metal.

TL;DR: A gas-metal arc welding method for high speed, high melting rate, substantially spatter-free, all-position welding is described in this article, where a consumable wire electrode is held within and fed through the tubular contact tip of a continuous feed type welding gun having a tubular nozzle surrounding and extending beyond the tip.
Abstract: A gas-metal-arc welding method is provided for high speed, high melting rate, substantially spatter-free, all-position welding. The method is particularly useful for out-of-position welding, that is, to produce vertical, inclined and overhead welds. A consumable wire electrode is held within and fed through the tubular contact tip of a continuous feed type welding gun having a tubular nozzle surrounding and extending beyond the tip. A shielding gas, formed of unique ratios of a minor proportion of a carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture combined with a major proportion of an argon and helium mixture, is flowed in a substantially longitudinally laminar pattern between the nozzle and contact tip and along the electrode extension from the tip. The contact tip is cooled, and sufficiently high power electrical current is passed through the contact tip and electrode extension to produce the arc and to melt the end of the electrode into molten drops for short-circuiting (e.g., low current) or for spray (e.g., higher current) transfer of the drops to the weld deposit. The electrode extension is pre-heated by maintaining a long electrode extension or stick-out beyond the contact tip end, with a substantial portion of the extension recessed within the nozzle.
