Ferritic/martensitic 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb steel also designated as ASTM A335 used in construction of several components of power plants operating in temperature range of 600–650 °C. In present investigation, dissimilar weld joint of P91 and P92 steel were prepared using the autogenous tungsten inert gas (A-TIG) welding and multi-pass gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. A comparative study was performed on evolution of δ-ferrite patches in weld fusion zone and heat affected zones (HAZs) of welded joints. The evolution of δ-ferrite patches was studied in as-welded and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) condition. PWHT was carried out at 760 °C for tempering time of 2 h and 6 h, for both A-TIG and GTA weld joints. It was observed that presence of higher content of ferrite stabilizer in P92 steel promote the formation of δ-ferrite patches in weld fusion zone as well as HAZs. To study the effect of welding process and PWHT, Charpy V impact energy and microhardness tests were performed. For microstructure characterization, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and optical microscope were utilized.

This study investigates the effect of different activating flux such as V2O5, TiO2, MoO3, Cr2O3, and Al2O3 on A-TIG welding process of Incoloy 800H. The influence of the flux on the depth of penetration and on mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the weld were studied and compared with autogeneous TIG welds which were welded with the same process parameters and conditions. The use of TiO2 flux gave full depth of penetration and the use of V2O5, Cr2O3 flux gave increased penetration as compared to autogeneous TIG welds while the use of Al2O3 and MoO3 led to the detoriation of the effect.
