Elucidating microstructural evolution and its effect on the mechanical properties of FSWed alumina-forming austenitic steel for power plant applications

Alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) steel is considered as a promising candidate used for advanced energy systems. Fusion welding of austenitic steels usually requires the introduction of a certain delta (δ) ferrite to avoid thermal cracking, but for the AFA steel, the presence of δ ferrite will greatl...
