Mechanism of suppressing HAZ softening in friction stir welded martensitic steel through hardening phenomenon initiated by adding vanadium

In this study, heat-affected zone (HAZ) softening occurred in friction stir welding (FSW) joints of martensitic steels is suppressed through the short-time secondary hardening phenomenon initiated by adding V. Adding V significantly suppresses the HAZ softening owing to the precipitation of the extr...
