More sophisticated thermodynamic designs of welds between dissimilar steels

In the present paper, steels that are mostly used in technical practice as base materials, filler metals and consumable electrodes in the design of dissimilar weld joints are studied. These steels differ mainly in the content of Cr, Mo, V, W and N. It is explained and emphasised in the present paper that the effect of thermodynamics, diffusion and phase transformations on the stability of dissimilar weld joints that are exposed to temperatures...
