Morphology and crystallography of lath martensite in weld metal of high strength steel by double sided laser welding

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The morphology and crystallography of the lath martensite in the weld metal of high strength steel by double-sided hybrid fiber laser-arc welding were investigated. The lath martensite was found to have Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship. The amount of the lath martensite in the block was affected by the cooling direction of the weld pool. All the four packets were distributed randomly within a columnar grain. The blocks were approximately in square shape. All the 24 variants appeared within the columnar grain and some regions included certain combinations of two particular variants. The lath martensite in the weld metal had preferred orientation which was lath martensite (1 1 1) ‖ substrate surface.
