Digital Image Correlation of Tensile Properties for Monel 400/SS 316L Dissimilar Metal Welding Joints

Dissimilar metal weld joints of Monel 400 and Stainless Steel 316L stainless steel were carried out using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Conventional annealing and cryogenic treatment were performed on the welded joints. Weld joints of this combination of materials have enormous potential applicat...

description Dissimilar metal weld joints of Monel 400 and Stainless Steel 316L stainless steel were carried out using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Conventional annealing and cryogenic treatment were performed on the welded joints. Weld joints of this combination of materials have enormous potential applications in power industry and the available related literature is limited. In the present study, the tensile properties of heat treated (HT), cryotreated (CT), and untreated (UT) specimens were studied. The engineering stress and strain were determined experimentally as per Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials (ASTM E8). The strain distribution was evaluated at different zones of weld joint was evaluated using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Significant difference was noticed between the zones. Weld zone of all samples had less local stress and strain and SS 316L heat affected zone (HAZ) zone had more local stress and strain when compared to other zones. The local strain distribution along distance from weld center line and local stress-strain curves of different zones are also predicted. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to analyze the fracture behavior of welded samples for HT, CT, and UT specimens.
