Samples were investigated by tensile and hardness test, optical and electronic microscopy. Regular hexagonal pins due to having six smooth face and impulsive movement during rotation, caused a good perturbation which resulted in maximum tensile strength and elongation percentage of 198 MPa and 10.25 and minimum grain size of 13.3 micron, respectively. In the sample welded by a threaded cylindrical pin due to non-impact during rotation, inappropriate flow of reinforcing particles and its accumulation at perturbation the lowest tensile strength and elongation percentage of 133.5 MPa and 1.95%, respectively, were observed.}, Keywords = {Friction stir welding, Pin geometry, Aluminum 6061, Al2O3 particles.}, volume = {5}, Number = {2}, pages = {77-88}, publisher = {Iranian Institute of Welding and Non Destructive Testing}, url = {http://jwsti.iut.ac.ir/article-1-285-en.html}, eprint = {http://jwsti.iut.ac.ir/article-1-285-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Welding Science and Technology of Iran}, issn = {2476-583X}, eissn = {2676-6787}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Anvari, Seyedeh Zahra and Elahi, Mohammad Rez}, title = {Evolution of microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy weldment with TIG and Pulsed TIG process}, abstract ={Magnesium alloys are very attractive materials owing to their properties of low density, high specific strength and stiffness, good castability, and weldability. AZ31 magnesium alloys in terms of weldability has better situation than the other, so it has more applications than other magnesium alloys. In this study, TIG and pulsed TIG welding method was used to welding the AZ31 alloy and finally microstructure and mechanical properties of welds with metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile test were examined. The results showed that the heat input affected the size of grains that are leading to changes in mechanical properties. Sample was welded with TIG welding with minimum current has maximum strength among the samples both pulsed TIG welding and TIG method. It is observed that with increasing frequency in TIG welding, strength is reduced. Despite the same IP and IB, higher frequency has created a stronger welding. Also increases the frequency leads to more fine-grained samples, resulting in increased strength.}, Keywords = {AZ31 magnesium alloy, TIG, Mechanical properties}, volume = {5}, Number = {2}, pages = {89-102}, publisher = {Iranian Institute of Welding and Non Destructive Testing}, url = {http://jwsti.iut.ac.ir/article-1-206-en.html}, eprint = {http://jwsti.iut.ac.ir/article-1-206-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Welding Science and Technology of Iran}, issn = {2476-583X}, eissn = {2676-6787}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Emadi, M. and Mostaan, H. and Rafiei, M.}, title = {Evaluation of microstructure and corrosion behavior of dissimilar laser joint between Inconel 625 and AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel}, abstract ={Dissimilar weld joints between stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are extensively used in petrochemical, gas and oil applications. These joints jave great challenges from metallurgical transformations point of view. In this research, microstructural evolutions and corrosion behavior of laser weld joint between Inconel 625 and AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel were investigated. Ferritic stainless steels are less expensive and have magnetic properties in comparison with austenitic stainless steels. Scanning electron microscope and optical microscope were used in order to study the microstructures of weld metal and heat affected zone. It was found that fine dendritic microstructuresare formed in the weld metal which  isgrown in a competition manner. An epitaxial growth was observed in the interface between AISI base metal and weld metal. No considerable grain growth was observed in the heat affected zone on Inconel 625. Corrosion resistance of weld joint was investigated in 3.5 % wtNaCl solution using potantiodynamic polarization test.

Microstructure investigation showed that the obtained microstructure from the laser weld of these alloys has a dendritic and non-homogeneous structure. According to XRD analysis, brittle intermetallic compounds such as Fe2Ti, Cr2Ti, TiNi3, and Ti2Ni wereformed during laser welding in the weld zone. Formation of these brittle intermetallics caused increasing the hardness of the weld zoneabout 800 HV. and decreasing the mechanical properties. Also, Fe2Ti intermetallic particles mainly formed in the weld region near the NiTi fusion zone which results in stress concentration, micro-cracks formation and dropping joints mechanical properties.
