摘要：
Reheaters and superheaters of the Advanced Ultra Supercritical (AUSC) Boilers prefer AISI304 HCu. The steels are prone to sensitization on welding (550 to 900 & DEG;C), segregation of alloying elements, and wider bead profiles, resulting in the degradation of joint properties. Plasma Arc Welding by keyhole mode (KPAW) provided a better solution by autogenously joining 9 mm thick tube joints in a single pass. The KPAW joint has minimum bead geometry compared to Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welds. The strength of the KPAW joints (610 MPa) is 17% higher than the TIG joints (502 MPa) and close to the strength of the base material. The homogenous morphology of the KPAW joint with fine dendrites of & delta;-ferrite enhances the properties of welded joints. The cooling rate influences the finer nucleation of dendrites with minimal arm spacing of 12.4 & mu;m per unit area. The estimated cooling rate for the KPAW joint is around 0.97 x 10(5) K/s, which results in an average dendritic length of 69 & mu;m.
