| Abstract: | The weldability of two Fe3Al-based intermetallic alloys and one Fe- 16%Al-based (atom fraction) alloy has been investigated for gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding on sheets with a thickness of 2 mm. The results indicated that pre-heating and post-annealing treatment were important procedures for retarding cold crack initiation and the proper selection of filler could effectively improve the weldability. For the same alloys with the same welding filler, it is better to choose lower welding current, in another word, lower heat input. |
