The analysis of segregation ratio and equilibrium distribution coefficient of elements, determined throughEDS data, indicate the reduction in micro-segregation of elements compared with the previous reported literatures for laser weldedHastelloy C-276. High melting efficiency of ytterbium fiber laser, reduction in the amount of linear heat input, and high cooling rateof the mushy zone lead to the reduction in micro-segregation. The melting efficiency of ytterbium fiber laser for welding of HastelloyC-276 of 64% is higher than that （48%） of conventional welding methods. High melting efficiency leads to the reduction in the linearheat input required for welding. Hence, in the present investigation, the same was found to substantially reduce as compared to theprevious reported literature. The cooling rate from liquidus temperature to solidus temperature at the weld centerline was found to bein the order of 10^3℃/s. Cellular dendritic substructure that constituted for lower micro-segregation was formed at the weldcenterline.展开更多
