But, when Fusion Welding Processes are used, success depends on several factors.
Dilution ..
Filler metal should readily alloy with base metals to produce a continuous ductile matrix phase. The weld metal microstructure shall be stable , i.e, metallurgical compatibility with the base metals. Dilution should be as low as possible.
Dilution ..
AWS formula for calculating the avg. % of any specific alloying element in the diluted weld metal.. Xw = (DA) (XA) + (DB)(XB) + (1 DT)(XF) Xw , XA , XB - avg % of element X in weld metal, metal A & metal B respectively XF - avg % of element X in Filler metal DA percent dilution by base metal A , DB percent dilution by base metal B DT percent total dilution by base metals A & B
