Abstract: | In this study,Inconel 738 alloy was diffusion bonded to a ferritic stainless steel.The effect of bonding temperature on the microstructural development across the joint region was investigated.Following the diffusion bonding,conventional characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) and microhardness were used to examine the interfacial microstructure.It was seen that bonding temperature was effective on the diffusion of Ni from Inconel 738 to ferritic st... |
