Conclusions
-
1.
The increase of grain size during welding depends on the cooling rate and on the time the metal remains at temperatures above the α→γ transformation temperature.
-
2.
Cooling from α→γ transformation temperatures at a low rate leads to an increase in the amount of retained austenite and some reduction of hardness in the heat-affected zone.
