The secondary objective was to examine the effect of the repeated repair welding on the properties of the alloy. It was also found that the mechanical properties progressively decreased with increasing the repair welding cycles, especially in the case of the weldment after the first welding repair. It was observed that the sizes of the acicular and prior β grain boundaries as well as the volume fraction of the acicular phases increased with increasing the welding heat input. In addition, the amount and size of the acicular a1 phases were found to increase with increasing the repair welding cycles.展开更多
