Abstract
This paper reports on the mechanical properties of the dissimilar joints between AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel and St 37 low carbon steel achieved using friction stir welding technique. The welding was carried out by means of rotational speed of 800 rpm and linear speeds of 50,100,150 mm/min. EDS and XRD techniques were employed in order to determine possible phase transformations. Tensile test, shear punch test and microhardness measurements were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the joints. The results of phase investigations showed that no carbide and brittle phase were detected at the joint boundary. Also, tensile test results demonstrated that failure occurred in the St 37 base metal. According to the shear punch test, the highest ultimate shear strength and yield shear strength was achieved for the sample welded at rotational speed of 800 rpm and linear speed of 150 mm/min, while this sample showed the least elongation. In addition, the highest microhardness was measured in the stir zone of austenitic stainless steel sample welded in the above mentioned welding condition, which can be attributed to the decrease in grain size caused by recrystallization process.

Abstract
Aluminium 5xxx alloys excellent properties make them suitable for many industrial applications. The corrosion behavior of this alloy family in industrial environments such as sea water is the main focus of many researches. Due to need for joining large segments of this alloys, the effect of single as well as multipass (double and triple pass) gas metal arc welding (GMAW) on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Al5083-H321 alloy was studied. For this purpose, ER5183 filler metal was used. Microstructures were evaluated using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion measurements were performed using open circuit potential test, immersion test in 3.5%NaCl solution and polarization tests. Results indicated that the corrosion resistance of the two passes weldment was improved in comparison with the base metal and its icorr and Ecorr were equal to 0.087´10-6 (µA/cm2) and -0.4395 (V), respectively.

Abstract
In this investigation, the effect of grain size on the corrosion behavior of 304L stainless steel has been studied. Samples with grain sizes of 0.5, 3 and 12 micrometers were fabricated through formation of strain-induced martensite by 80% cold rolling of the stainless steel sheets at -15 °C and its reversion to austenite during annealing at 900 °C for 1, 5 and 180 min. The corrosion behavior of samples with different grain sizes was investigated by cyclic polarization experiments and immersion tests in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). The polarisation tests showed no differences in uniform corrosion rates of the samples. The results of the cyclic polarisation and immersion tests showed that decreasing the grain size improved the pitting corrosion resistance from 290 mVAg/Agcl for grain size of 12 micrometers to 420 mVAg/Agcl for grain size of 0.5 micrometers.

Abstract
In this study, a Cr-modified NiAl coating was fabricated by weld cladding technique using Gas- Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process on 310 steel. Chemical composition and microstructure of the coating was studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with an Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The wear behavior of the coated steel was examined through pin-on-disc tests at ambient temperature and 400 °C. The results showed that the hardness of coated steel increased remarkably due to the formation of Cr-modified NiAl on the surface. Furthermore, the wear experiments showed that the presence of Cr-modified NiAl coating caused significant improvement in wear resistance of cladding 310 steel at both ambient temperature and 400 °C. These results were discussed based on the wear mechanism obtained from examination of the worn surfaces using SEM.
