Microstructural Analysis of Linear Friction Welded Joint in Nickel-Base Inconel 738 Superalloy
Inconel 738 (IN 738), like other precipitation-hardened nickel-base superalloys that contain a substantial amount of Al and Ti, is very difficult to weld due to its high susceptibility to heat-affected zone (HAZ) cracking during conventional fusion welding processes. The cause of this cracking, whic...
