Abstract
To reduce costs and improve high-temperature performance in Advanced Ultra Super Critical (AUSC) boilers, it is necessary to weld austenitic steel to Inconel alloy. In this study, the autogenous tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process was used to join Alloy 617 and an austenitic AISI 304H steel plate of thickness 5 mm. Microstructural analysis showed that the microstructure formation was uneven along the weldments, with columnar and cellular dendrites near the interface while the central area of the weld exhibited a combination of columnar, cellular, and equiaxed dendrites. The use of energy dispersive spectroscopy and electron probe micro-analysis unveiled the presence of an unmixed layer at the interface between the weld and AISI 304H steel. Furthermore, a notable variation in the concentration of alloying elements such as Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, and Mo was observed. Within the weld metal, inter-dendritic areas showed the presence of precipitates rich in Cr, Ti, and Mo. Meanwhile, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of Alloy 617 exhibited the presence of phases like Cr and Mo-rich M23C6 as well as Mo-rich M6C. Hardness tests showed non-uniform hardness along the weldments, with a hardness of 199 ± 6 HV in the weld metal and 225 ± 4 HV in Alloy 617 HAZ, and 207 ± 7 HV in AISI 304H HAZ. The Mo and Cr segregation in the inter-dendritic spaces led to a decline in the tensile properties of the welded parts and resulted in failure from the region of the weld metal.
