Abstract Heat-resistant austenitic stainless steels are widely used in the final stages of superheater and reheater in
in the new generation of fossil fuel power stations, due to their high creep strength. Similar weld joints,
fabricated using gas tungsten arc welding, for connecting different components made of the heat resistant
austenitic stainless steels usually suffer from premature failures at elevated temperature [1]. Experimental
studies showed that cracks may nucleate in the heat affected zone or weld metal of the similar welded joints
under service conditions. In order to reveal the physical origin of unexpected failures of… More >
