Abstract
In this investigation, the effect of heat input of SMAW process on the corrosion behavior of Hadfield steel weld joints was investigated. For this purpose, 4 annealed sheets with thickness 25 mm prepared from Hadfield steel and then welding applied by SMAW process with 6.75 and 11.25 kJ/mm heat input values. For corrosion behavior evaluation of base metal and weld metal areas, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods were used in the 3.5% NaCl solution. The result of corrosion tests indicated that by increasing the heat input in the SMAW process, the corrosion resistance in the weld metal were reduced. It was also found that in both heat input values, base metal had more corrosion resistance compared to weld metal.

Abstract
Recent research suggests that extraordinary combinations of strength and ductility can be achieved in the so-called TRIP steels. With the development of these steels, welding with small weld nugget size and acceptable strength are needed. For these reasons present study was carried out to investigate the effect of heat input onweld size, microstructure and the hardness of the welded metal of 0.4%C- 4%Al δ-TRIP steel after continues fiber-laser welding process. To achieve this goal a bead on plate welding with three different values of heat input 28, 60 and 80 J/mm were used.The results of welding process revealed that by increasing the heat input, cooling rate decreased and the volume percent of the δ-ferrite in weld metal increased due to the availability of sufficient time for partitioning of Al in high heat input which leads to the stable δ-ferrite and as a result the difference between the hardness of the weld metal in comparison to the base metal decreased.

Abstract
Dissimilar welding of AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel to AISI 409 ferritic stainless steel with GMAW process usingtwo Ar-O2 and Ar-CO2 shielding gas mixtures was studied. ER316LSi and ER309LMo filler metals were chosen by considering 5 and 15% delta ferrite according to the Schaeffler equations and diagram. Based on the observations, both filler metals accompanied by Ar-2%O2 shielding gas resulted in acceptable weldments. Yield strength and UTS of tensile samples were 288 and 424 MPa, respectively. All tensile samples fractured in the ferritic base metal. Microhardness test results demonstrated that the maximum hardness of 190-200 HV was obtained from ER316LSi weld metal. The minimum hardness of 145 HV was found in the HAZ of 409 side mainly due to the grain coarsening. Microstructural examinations revealed needle-like precipitates formed perpendicular to each other in the HAZ of 409 stainless steel. It seemed that the pre-existing TiC precipitates evolved into the needle shape precipitates as a result of rapid heating and cooling rates during the welding process.

Abstract
In this investigation the effect of oxides powders of SiO2, MoO3 and CuO on the depth of penetration, microstructure and hardness profile of GTAWeld precipitation hardening martensitic 17-4PH was assessed. Samples were taken from 17-4PH steel sheet with the dimensions of 150*50 mm and with the thickness of 5 mm, and were welded by oxide powder of SiO2, MoO3 and CuO. Results showed that using oxide powder increased the penetration depth of the welded joints by about 150 percent compared to the normal condition. Also, it was shown that although using SiO2 powder increased the penetration depth to about 7.49 mm, it provides inferior weld bead appearance. The use of MoO3 and CuO powder increased the penetration depth of the weld to about 5.3 mm. Although inclusions were found throughout the side of the weld bead when MoO3 powder was employed for welding. The microstructure of the weld in different samples did not vary and included dendritic structure with delta ferrite located between the dendrites. The hardness profile of the welded joints showed the closeness of the hardness of the welded joints using different oxide powder with the base metal.
