Conclusions

  1. 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. 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.
