The behaviour of γ′ phase to thermal and mechanical effects during rapid heating of Astrology
The thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ).
significantly enhanced resistance to weld liquation cracking of the alloy.
This was not observed in purely thermally simulated samples.
The microstructure within the TMAZ of the as-welded alloy is similar to the microstructure in the forged Gleeble specimens.
