 Introduction <Sample>

Welding of dissimilar metals is generally a challenging task

Due to the differences in the chemical composition and thermal
expansion coefficients, the major problems likely to occur during
welding would be
dilution of weld metals
solidification cracking and
hot cracking
Successful dissimilar welds are usually quantified by their good
mechanical & metallurgical properties

Material Selection

Material XXXX and YYYY

• High corrosion resistance,
• High strength
• Sounds good for high temperature applications
• Easily weldable and no pre/post heat treatments are required for
similar combinations
Applications include

Journal & Year Authors Description Remarks
The combination is used
in the Umbilical Interface
Assembly for Space
Station
JWRI, (2000)  SMAW process is employed ENiCrFe-3 filler wire is
 This Combination is used in recommended;
the oil & petroleum refineries Hot cracking tendency is
where they are subjected to eliminated on using the
strong corrosive mediums above filler wire
such as SOx
 ENiCu-7 and ENiCrFe-3 were
the filler metals
 Post weld heat treatment was
recommended to earn the
benefits in terms of
mechanical properties

Gaps in the Literature

• The weldability, metallurgical, mechanical and corrosion properties of welded

dissimilar metals– Information is skimpy
• No specific emphasis is given on these dissimilar metal welding and the filler metal’s
choice in the behavior of weldments
• There is very limited information about structure-property relationships in dissimilar
welds between XXXX and YYYY in the previous studies unlike the similar metal welds
• Although these metals are known for its corrosion properties, corrosion at high
temperature conditions especially in the molten salt environments have not been
reported hitherto
• Hot corrosion properties on welded XXXX and YYYYY is very scanty, particularly those
containing sulfidizing and chlorides environments
