摘要

The intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of IN600 aged at 700 °C during 300-h gas metal arc welded to an AL6XN was studied to assess an alternative for repairing an IN600 component after long-time exposure at high-temperature. An ERNiCrMo3 electrode, gas mixture of 97%Ar + 3%N2, and a heat input ~ 1.5 kJ/mm were used. Microstructural characterization of the welded joint was correlated with the IGC resistance of the weld zone, evaluated in a 2MH2SO4 + 1MHCl + 0.5MNaCl solution with a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The results, in terms of reactivation and activation current ratio (IR/IA), showed that the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the AL6XN and weld metal had ratio values of ~ 0.0003 ± 1 × 10–4 and ~ 0.002 ± 1 × 10–4, respectively. The IR/IA ratio for the HAZ of IN600 was ~ 0.01 ± 5.8 × 10–3, meaning that it is twice susceptible to IGC than the HAZ of AL6XN. This behavior correlates with the Cr-rich precipitates found near the grain boundaries in the HAZ and weld metal at the IN600 side of the welded joint.
