Abstract
Solidification cracking in brazed joints is significantly influenced by solidification conditions and alloy composition, making it a critical factor for the reliability of parts and products. Numerous studies have been conducted to predict solidification cracking in processes like casting, welding, and joining, leading to the development of an index to..... More

Abstract
In this study, solidification cracking behavior and susceptibility in dissimilar cladding of Inconel alloy FM 52, 308L stainless steel to carbon steel, was investigated by submerged arc welding and transverse−Varestraint testing with gas tungsten arc welding. The effect of cladding conditions on cracking behavior and susceptibility was extensively evaluated, and..... More

Abstract
Alloy design of 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metals was carried out through thermodynamic simulation, and elevated temperature tensile testing was performed on the designed alloy. Based on the thermodynamic simulation of the 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb weld metal, 0.09 to 0.10 wt% C was added to increase Cr-rich M₂₃C₆. Nitrogen was reduced from 0.04 to..... More
