weld heat affected Zone The welded joint can be divided into three main zones having different micro structures: base metal zone; heat affected zone; and a weld seam weld zone. In gas welding, due to slow heating , the heat affected zone (near- heat zone) is larger than in the case of arc welding . The thermal influence zone has several structural sections caused by the heating temperature in the range of 450-1500 ° C and differing in the shape and structure of the grain. The thermal influence zone consists of the following sections: incomplete fusion overheating normalization incomplete re-crystallization[…]
