Analysis of 'ADI' welding, with Fe-Ni electrodes

This work analyzes the results of ADI, welded with consumable electrodes that deposit an alloy of 50%Fe and 50%Ni. The iron and nickel properties and the microstructures resulting from the alloying used in the support material are studied, and the current phase diagrams and their predecessors are reviewed for this purpose. The mechanical properties of the base materials and the support material were determined. The microhardness of specially prepared test pieces was measured in the base material, the mixed zone and the zone affected by heat. The results of these determinations were linked to the previously identified microstructural components. The base materials and the support material were characterized, for which Charpy, HRB, and metallography traction tests were prepared. The tests show the possibilities of welding the ADI, with 50% nickel electrodes, as well as the difficulties with the technique used and the limitations in the results obtained to date
