Measurement of the thermal cycle in the base metal heat affected zone of cast ATI ® 718Plus TM during manual multi-pass TIG welding

• This paper presents a method to acquire thermal data in the base metal heat affected zone (HAZ) during manual multi-pass TIG welding of ATI ® 718Plus TM , representing conditions close to an actual repair welding operation. Thermocouples were mounted in different locations along side walls of linear grooves to record temperature data. The thermal cycling was found to be largely independent of location within the HAZ. The recorded temperatures were below the incipient laves melting temperature, indicating that the current test setup requires optimisation to study HAZ liquation. Based on the results of this study, a modified thermocouple mounting technique is proposed. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
