Variant selection analysis was carried out based on the inherited α phase texture and the reconstructed 13 phase texture.

Heat input decreased greatly with increased welding speed and it decreased slightly with decreased rotation speed. The orientation relationship between the prior 13 grains was measured based on the reconstructed electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) data.
