Abstract: The behavior of nitrogen into the dissimilar joining metal between AISI 304 and AISI 316L Austenitic stainless steel during gas tungsten are welding process was investigated. Studied by using an arc nitrogen atmosphere – controlling in chamber. The relations between nitrogen content of the dissimilar weld metal and the welding parameters, such as the welding current, welding speed, welding arc length and penetration area of weld metals were also evaluated. The results show that the nitrogen content of the weld metals decreased with an increasing welding current, and increasing penetration areas of weld metal, but scarcely depends on the welding arc length. The nitrogen content of the weld metals increased with the welding speed, but decreased penetration areas of weld metals. The role of nitrogen content on the dissimilar weld metals stainless steel is further confirmed by the experimental microstructure, mechanical and corrosion behaviour of the weld metal.

Abstract: This study was carried out on the development of the evaluation method for solidification cracking susceptibility of Inconel600/SUS347 dissimilar weld metals during laser welding. Some dissimilar weld metals which have different ratios of Inconel600/SUS347 were prepared by TIG welding and then were remelted on the U-type hot cracking tester by laser. Solidification cracking behavior during hot cracking test was observed by a high speed camera and the dynamic strain, close to the solidification crack, was evaluated. It appeared that local critical strain, for the initiation of solidification crack, was obtained by this strain measurement method. So the solidification cracking susceptibility could be directly evaluated based on the critical strain for different dissimilar joint. By using this method, it was discovered that solidification cracking occurred most easily when the ratio of Inconel600/SUS347 is 40%/60%, in the case of the Inconel600/SUS347 dissimilar laser welded joints.
