Abstract
The white bright band (WBB) in the 52M/SA508–3 pulsed TIG joint is clearly visible after metallographic etching. Increased pulse frequency leads to enhancing oscillation of the molten pool and promoting deeper heat penetration. This results in the formation of the δ/γ phase boundary, facilitating martensite and Type II boundary formation within the WBB. High-frequency pulsing refines grain structure and increases grain boundaries, inhibiting helium bubble diffusion and growth. As frequency rises from 15 kHz to 50 kHz, WBB width increases from 20 μm to 35 μm, martensite proportion from 0 % to 77.1 %, and austenite grain size decreases 26.1 %.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators.
