A literature review of studies and researches has been attempted in the field of dissimilar metal welding. Dissimilar metal welds have numerous industrial applications in area of thermal power generation, chemical, petrochemical, automobile, aerospace industries and nuclear plants etc. The purpose of this paper is to review: (a) Dissimilar metal welds, their Metallurgical and Mechanical aspects...

Laser beam welding of dissimilar sheet metal combinations such as Ti/Al, SS/Al and Cu/Al are increasingly demanded due to high energy densities with less fusion and heat affected zones. A good weld joint strength involves combinations of dissimilar metals and the formation of solid solution in the weld pool. Many metal pairs suffer from significant intermetallic phase formation during welding w...

The most effective method to reduce CO2 gas emission from the steam power plant is to improve its performance by elevating the steam temperature to more than 700 ◦C. For this, it is necessary to develop applicable materials at high temperatures. Ni-based Alloy 617 and 12Cr steel are used in steam power plants, due to their remarkable mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance, and creep s...

In the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding between ASTM A335 low alloy steel and ER309L austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gas tungsten arc welding process. The welding of dissimilar materials between ASTM A335 low alloy steel and ER309L austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure w...
