Microstructure characteristics of LPBF&HIP fabricated graded composite transition joint between ferritic steel and austenitic stainless steel
Graded composite transition joints (GCTJs) offer a promising alternative to conventional dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) by enabling smooth compositional and microstructural transitions. However, GCTJs fabricated solely through additive manufacturing (AM) face challenges such as heat accumulation, complex parameter control, and elemental segregation. In this study, we propose a novel approach that relies on AM to design a spatially graded structure in one alloy and then employs hot isostatic pressing (HIP) as a diffusion bonding method to join it with a second alloy. This method combines the flexibility of AM with the powder net-shaping advantage of HIP. Specifically, a series of closely packed austenitic stainless steel 304 conical structures were printed using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and then combined with ferritic steel P91 powder via HIP. By using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, the microstructure characteristics of the GCTJ of 304&P91, especially the interdiffusion zone (IDZ), have been systematically investigated. The microstructure at the interface transitions from austenite-ferrite (A+F) to austenite-martensite-ferrite (A+M+F), and finally to martensite-ferrite (M+F) due to diffusion. Additionally, the diffusion width between 304 and P91 increases with the volume fraction of P91. This unique design also ensures a gradual transition in both hardness and thermal expansion coefficient from 304 to P91, thereby enabling a smooth gradient in functional properties. Overall, this study proposes a novel approach for fabricating GCTJs and contributes to advancing design concepts in the field of dissimilar metal joining.
