Peculiarities in Partial Melted Zone in Cast Alloys

Abstract:

The present work focuses on the microstructural changes that occur in the partial melted zone in welds made on some cast designated alloys. The aim of the work is to improve the available data related to PMZ morphology, properties and possible mechanism involved in the final metal response. It demonstrates that for binary alloys little changes occur in PMZ; in case of a complex alloy the changes are more consistent affecting both primary and eutectic structure when interstitials are involved. It proves also that the morphology of PMZ depends on the filler metal properties.
