Such an assessment is essential if the long-term properties of these types of weldment are to be predicted confidently. The solidification mode was generally in close agreement with previously published data, although dilution of the filler material with plate resulted in one exception to the anticipated result. Precipitation was characterized in the as-received (type 347 weld only), post-weld heat-treated and service-aged material, and compared with the predictions of thermodynamic data where these are available. Agreement with such predictions was generally good, although kinetic constraints and the formation of a previously unreported Laves-type (Ti, Cr)<sub>2</sub>Nb phase meant that the precipitation sequence was complex.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100890,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0025-5416(88)90259-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72453859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
