Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Inconel 617 weldments produced by the Activated Tungsten Inert Gas (A-TIG) welding and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. The TIG weld joints considered for this study were in an as-welded condition and underwent two different conditions of heat treatment including 1050∘C for 3 and 5h, respectively. The A-TIG weld joints studied were the as-welded type and the weldment was heat-treated at 1050∘C for 3h. The microstructure and the characterization of mechanical properties were performed for all weldments and a comparative assessment was made. Tensile strength and the hardness of the heat-treated samples were considerably higher than that of the as-welded samples. Impact toughness was slightly reduced after PWHT. Improvement in tensile strength could be attributed to the precipitation of the carbides and segregation of Chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo).
