Abstract
In the present work, 16% chromium AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel weld produced under different conditions of energy input and metal powder addition using TIG torch melting is investigated for carbide precipitation. A Box Behnken experimental design paradigm is invoked with current, speed and metal powder concentration as the primary variables while type of powder is the categorical variable. The result indicates that for a given concentration of metal powder in the melt pool, the sensitized geometry increases with energy input. Titanium as well as the mixture of aluminum and titanium powders reduces the width of the sensitized zone while aluminum powder increases the width of the zone. Titanium powder prevents the development of completely ditched structure in the high temperature heat affected zone (HTHAZ) whereas aluminum powder accelerates the formation of ditched structure in the HAZ.
