The present paper experimentally investigates the effect of filler metal on the mechanical behavior, solidification, and microstructure of the super duplex stainless steel (sDSS2507) and nitronic steel (N50) dissimilar welded joint. This dissimilar joint is primarily applicable in the subsea control unit for high-pressure tubing and coupler assembly. For this investigation, the gas tungsten arc welding process (GTAW) employed the super duplex filler ER2594 and carbon steel grade ER70S-2 filler. The weld's structural integrity has been assessed to compare both the fillers through multiple investigations on the joint. The microstructure characterization of the base metal and as-welded specimen was carried out using an optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Super duplex filler ER2594 weld solidified in primary ferritic mode with precipitation of several reformed austenite in the ferrite matrix, whereas ER70S-2 filler weld had long marten site laths embedded in ferrite matrix. The microstructural study reported the presence of microsegregation and Type II boundary formation. The type-II boundary is detected close to the fusion boundary at the N50 and the sDSS 2507 side of the ER70S-2 weldment. The Vickers microhardness test, Charpy impact test, and the tensile test were performed to obtain the mechanical properties of this joint. The microhardness investigation of the weld zone of ER2594 and ER70S-2 shows the average hardness of 287.34±10 Hv0.5 and 372.36±10 Hv_0.5, respectively. The peak hardness of 410 Hv0.5 was observed in the weld zone of ER70S-2. The formation of large marten site laths in the ferrite matrix in the weld zone leads to higher hardness in ER70S-2 filler compared to the precipitation of softer reformed austenite in the ER2594 fller. The average impact toughness result of ER2594 and ER70S-2 is 165±5 J and 110±8 J, respectively. The Charpy impact trials showed the ductile fracture mode by employing ER2594 filler, while ER70S-2 showed the mixed fracture mode (ductile-brittle). The weldment tensile strength of filler ER2594 and ER70S-2 is 897 MPa and 873 MPa, respectively. The tensile test results indicate the ductile fracture mode for both fillers, and the failures were detected in sDSS2507.
