Abstract

Joining dissimilar metals has found its use extensively in power generation, electronic, nuclear reactors, petrochemical and chemical industries due to environmental concerns, energy-saving, high performance, costsaving, and so on. The major challenge in welding of dissimilar metals is the different thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of the materials to be joined for the same welding condition. This causes a steep gradient of the mechanical properties along the weld. A variety of problems come up in dissimilar welding like cracking, large weld residual stresses, migration of atoms during welding causing stress concentration on one side of the weld, compressive and tensile stresses, stress corrosion cracking, etc. In the present work dissimilar joints of steel and its alloys joined using Gas Tungsten arc Welding (GTAW) or Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) welding are studied, to identify the gaps in works carried out by the earlier researcher’s.
