Abstract
Abstract
Austenitic stainless steels are mainly preferred especially for resistance to aggressive oxidizing medias and high temperature applications such as equipments and mechanical parts which are used in defense and conventional industries. In this study; 3 mm thick 304L austenitic stainless steel sheets and rings are joined to each other by using Tungsten Inert Gas welding method under pure argon shielding gas with ER316L and ER2209 filler metals. Weld metals and heat-affected zones of welded joints were examined by metallurgical and scanning electron microscopes. Microhardness, tensile and Charpy impact tests of weld regions are investigated. It has been determined that the filler metals have dominantly changed the microstructure of weld metals. The microhardness values of the welded samples joined with ER2209 filler metal was lower than the sample joined with ER316L filler metal in weld metal regions. Besides, corrosion tests indicated that the corrosion rates of welded samples joined with ER2209 filler metal is lower than the samples joined with ER316L filler metal.
