Abstract
The successive alteration of the microstructure from the weld metal zone through weld bonds to the heat-affected zone of a Cr18Ni13 austenitic-0.45% C steels welded joint has been observed using transmission electron microscopy. A new type of microstructure, called pearlite-like structure, has been found and the microstructural details of the weld interface (or fusion line) have been studied. Based on the definition of various zones of the dissimilar steels welded joints under the optical microscope, the transmission electron microscopic characteristics, including microstructures and compositions, of each zone are described and discussed.
