| description | In this work, microstructural characterization and mechanical properties of P91 and Incoloy 800HT dissimilar laser beam welded joint were analyzed. In addition to that, metallographical studies were conducted using Optical microscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Effect of specific point energy on weld microstructure was predicted and it was compared with fusion zone hardness. The δ-ferrite content of the welds was predicted and it was correlated with the results measured by ferritoscope. Increase in heat input led to a minimal increase in the weld bead width and also the depth of penetration as predicted by microstructural studies. The traces of δ-ferrite in the interface of P91 side led to higher strength and microhardness of the weld. Failure of tensile specimens in the HAZ of Incoloy 800HT side was because of lower ferrite content (0 to 0.36) in that region and also due to the presence of the brittle intermetallic phases. The tensile strength of higher specific point energy welds was greater compared to other welds because of precipitation hardening and presence of δ-ferrite. Fractography results of fracture surfaces contain uniform dimples which showed that the failure took place in a ductile mode. |
