Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical properties of HSLA-100 steel weld joints was investigated. Welding with three heat input of 0.820, 1.176 and 1.392 kJ / mm was performed using E12018 electrode. Microstructural studies were performed using scanning electron and optical microscopes. The mechanical properties of welded joints were evaluated by impact and microhardness tests. Microstructural studies showed that with increasing the heat input, the amount of acicular ferrite in the weld metal decreased and the amount of polyhedral and quasi-polygonal ferrite increased. It was found that with increasing the heat input, the amount of layered bainite in the heat affected zone increased and the amount of granular bainite decreased. Due to the decrease in the amount of acicular ferrite in the weld metal microstructure with increasing inlet temperature, the amount of hardness and impact energy decreased. The results showed that the increase in heat input due to the reduction of the acicular ferrite of the weld metal and the dissolution of precipitates in the coarse grain heat affected zone has caused a decrease in hardness in these zones. It was found that with increasing the heat input due to decreasing the acicular ferrite, the impact energy of the weld metal decreased by 29% (from 45 joules at an heat input of 0.82 to 32 joules at an heat input of 1.392 kJ / mm). It was found that at all heat inputs, the impact energy of the base metal is greater than the impact energy of the weld metal.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of temperature on the microstructure and reactive layer at the interface between the Ti interlayer and the base metal related to the diffusion bonding of Zr702 to A516 low alloy steel was investigated. The joining was done using the spark plasma sintering technique at temperatures of 900, 950 and 1000°C for 30 minutes. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) equipped with EDS analysis was used to investigate the microstructure of the interfaces in various joints. Investigations showed that at all temperatures, with the diffusion of atoms and the formation of a reactive layer between the Ti interlayer and Zr702, no intermetallic phases, cracks, porosity and discontinuities were formed at their interfaces. . It was found that increasing the bonding temperature did not cause the formation of new phases and compounds in the interface and only increased the thickness of the reaction layer. The measurement of the thickness of the reactive layer showed that the maximum and minimum amounts of diffusion were 84 microns at 1000 °C and 64 microns at 900 °C respectively

Abstract
This research studied the effect of two-stage over aging treatmenton the pitting corrosion behavior and microstructure of the weld metals in the 17-4 precipitation hardening stainless steel. For this purpose, this steel was subjected to solution annealing heat treatment at 1035°C for one hour before welding. Then gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was performed using ER630 similar filler metal. Subsequently, a section of the weldment was subjected to two-stage over aging treatment. The microstructure and corrosion resistance of the weld zone after the two-stage over aging treatment were investigated and compared with the weld zone behavior in the as-weld condition. Microstructural studies showed that the two-stage over aging treatment of the weld zone led to the tempering of the martensitic, the formation of more reversed austenite, and the formation of α-ferrite. The volume fraction of austenite in the as-weld condition was approximately 7% and increased to about 30% after two-stage over aging treatment, a four-fold increase. The pitting potential (EPit) of weld metal was -18.15 mv in the as-weld condition and reached 122.54 mv after two-stage over aging treatment, which also signifies an improvement in pitting resistance. The two-stage over aging treatment also reduced the potential differences between the different parts of welding zones reducing the galvanic corrosion occurrence. The assessment of mechanical properties through impact test revealed that impact resistance after two-stage over aging treatment can be increased by about 66 % compared to as-weld condition.
