Welding was accomplished by different types of welding wires AWS ER 347, AWS ER 316L and AWS ER 309L. To verify soundness of welded samples, nondestructive tests were performed. Metallographic samples were prepared from cross-section areas of weld- joints to investigate microstructure of different regions of weld-joints by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Corrosion resistance of weld-joints was evaluated in NaCI solution by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques. In the weld metal AWS ER 347, the brittle sigma phase was created, resulting in the decrease of weld-joint corrosion resistance. According to the results of metallurgical investigations and corrosion tests, welding wire AWS ER 309L was suitable for welding duplex stainless steel （SAF 2205） to austenitic stainless steel （AIS1316L） by gas tungsten arc welding （GTAW） process.展开更多
