Abstract

Abstract

This study investigated the hot corrosion performance of a dissimilar weldment of Ni-based superalloy and stainless steel joined by CO₂-laser welding and improved by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) coating in a Na₂SO₄−60wt%V₂O₅ environment at 900°C. A dissimilar butt joint of AISI 321 and alloy 825 was fabricated by CO₂-laser welding with low heat input after obtaining the optimum welding parameters by bead-on-plate trials. The metallurgical and mechanical properties of the laser weldment were evaluated. The tensile test results indicated the occurrence of fracture in the base metal AISI 321 side. The HVOF process was employed to coat Ni−20wt%Cr on the weldment. To evaluate the surface morphology of the corrosion products formed on the uncoated and Ni−20wt%Cr-coated weldments, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the different elements present on the surface scales. The existence of oxide phases on the weldments was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The cross sections of the weldments were characterized by SEM with EDS line mapping analysis. The results indicated that the Ni−20wt%Cr-coated weldment exhibited superior hot corrosion resistance due to the development of Cr₂O₃ and NiCr₂O₄ protective oxide scales.
