1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

The objective of the current study was to analyse the microstructure, mechanical characteristics, and residual stresses of a dissimilar welded joint (DWJ) made of P92 steel and the Inconel alloy 617 (IN617) using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) method. The ERNiCr-3 filler was selected to produce the conventional V groove (VG) and narrow V groove (NVG) butt joint. The filler deficient zones in the weldments, such as the filler deficient beach, i.e. unmixed zone (UZ), peninsula, and island, as well as the distinct heat-affected zone (HAZ), were visible near the interface of ERNiCr-3 filler weld and P92 steel due to the distinct differences in the chemical composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties between the filler and P92 base metal (BM). A very narrow partial melted zone (PMZ) and almost negligible UZ and HAZ were noticed at the interface of IN617 and ERNiCr-3 weld metal and it occurred mainly due to the similarity in microstructure and melting point. The austenitic microstructure of ERNiCr-3 filler weld was accompanied by precipitates enriched with Ti and Nb along with the inter-dendritic space. At room temperature, the mechanical properties of both the groove joints were evaluated, and the test results indicated that the welded joint satisfied the standard requirements for AUSC power plants' boiler applications. The tensile test results showed the failure from ERNiCr-3 filler weld with a tensile strength of 627 ± 2 MPa and 636 ± 3 MPa for VG and NVG welded joints, respectively. A poor weld metal impact toughness in comparison to the BMs was attributed to the presence of the brittle Ti(C, N) and Nb(C) particles in the interdendritic space. The impact toughness for the NVG weld joint was measured higher than for the VG weld joint. A significant hardness deviation was measured along the weldments that might be due to heterogeneous microstructure, i.e. UZ, HAZ, delta ferrite, and weld metal. To impart the ductility and temper the martensite in P92 HAZ, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) was also performed, and a studied their effect on microstructure evolution across the weldments and mechanical properties. Groove design also showed a significant effect on residual stress variation. The work highlights the groove geometry, welding procedure, evolution of the microstructure along the weldments, mechanical characteristics, and residual stress variation of DWJ of P92 steel and IN617 alloy. In comparison to conventional VG joints, the NVG joints exhibited superior mechanical properties and lower residual stress values.
