Dutta and P.

The thermal history has been obtained by experimental work. We have focused on temperature dependent cooling rate as depicted by Adam’s two-dimensional model. The effect of moving point heat source of SMAW and GTAW on mechanical properties has been judged by optical and scanning electron micrographs of different regions in weld joints. The microhardness study has been carried to visualize the joint strength due to formation of different phases. }, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering}, volume = {9}, number = {7}, year = {2015}, pages = {919 - 924}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002950}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/103}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 103, 2015}, }
