- The compressive stress associated with the martensite in steel has become heavily researched as a mechanism for opposing the tensile stress resulting from welding. Many reports have shown this works well in ferritic welds. However, tensile stress is more of an issue in austenitic welds. In this manuscript FEM and Neutron diffraction, corroborated by the contour method, prove this technique can achieve a dramatic stress reduction in austenitic welds and detail how to control the stress state by altering the plate temperature during welding. The alloy developed in this study is now commercially available.
