Ak. Bhaduri et al., CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF TYPE 316LN STAINLESS-STEEL ALLOY-800 JOINT, Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 85(12), 1994, pp. 833-838
The effect of aging on the microstructure and tensile properties of a
type 316LN stainless steel/Alloy 800 joint, welded with 16-8-2 stainle
ss steel consumable, has been studied to characterize and evaluate the
joint for long-term elevated temperature service. The joint was subje
cted to accelerated aging heat treatments at 873 K up to 5000 h to sim
ulate long-term service exposures. Analysis of the results from this i
nvestigation shows that this joint has adequate stability of microstru
cture and tensile properties even after prolonged exposure at elevated
temperatures.
