摘要

The microstructure and corrosion resistance of hybrid gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)–gas metal arc welding (GMAW) joints of carbon steel cladded with duplex stainless steel (DDS) were studied and compared with conventional GMAW joints. API 5L X70 steel plates cladded with 3 mm of 2209 DSS were welded using both welding processes with an optimized heat input of  ~ 1.4 kJ/mm. The microstructure of the weld zone was characterized by optical microscopy to correlate the localized corrosion behavior. Double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) tests were conducted in 2 M H2SO4 + 1 M HCl solution to evaluate the intergranular corrosion resistance (IGCR), and electrochemical potentiokinetic polarization (PP) tests were performed to assess the resistance to pitting corrosion (RPC). It was found that the hybrid welding process increased the welding speed by 40% and reduced the heat-affected zone (HAZ) by 25%. The IGCR was improved by up to 300%, whereas the RPC incremented up to twofold in comparison with the conventional GMAW process.
