dc.description.abstractThe conditions influencing the phenomenon of heat affected zone (HAZ) cracking during tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of a gamma-prime (γ’) precipitation strengthened nickel-base superalloy, IN 738, is discussed here. The discussion is reinforced with the dependence of the cracking on particle size variation of the γ’ precipitates and base alloy hardness. Microstructural analysis of the magnitude of HAZ cracking in the alloy indicates that while resistance to cracking susceptibility is poor in the standard heat treatment (SHT) condition, the modified heat treated (MHT) alloy exhibits significantly improved resistance to HAZ cracking. The improvement in resistance to HAZ cracking in the MHT alloy is attributed to the lower hardness of the alloy which permits stress relaxation in the base alloy compared to the SHT alloy. In contrast to what is expected based on the recommended manufacturer SHT procedure, preweld microstructural modification presents a viable way of limiting cracking susceptibility in TIG welded IN 738 superalloy.en_US
