Abstract
Diffusion welding of heat-resistant alloys has attracted interest in the manufacturing of components with complex configurations. Controlling secondary precipitates along the interface is necessary to enhance the quality of the diffusion welding. Surface treatment to increase the solubility product (Ksp) of Ti-rich carbide is proposed to accomplish such an enhancement. The reduction of secondary precipitates along the interface induced grain boundary migration across the interface. The chemical compositions at/near the interface satisfied the material specifications. The mechanical properties of the diffusion weldment were similar to those of Alloy 800H that underwent the same thermo-mechanical processes in the range of 25–700 °C. At 25 °C, the tensile strength was 553 MPa, which satisfied the minimum specified tensile strength described in ASTM B: 409-22. The location of failure was random in the gauge section, and dimples, the evidence of the macroscopic plastic deformation, were observed on the fracture surface.
