High Energy Density Welding of Ni-Based Superalloys: An Overview by Riccardo Donnini, Alessandra Varone, Alessandra Palombi, Saveria Spiller, Paolo Ferro, Giuliano Angella

“…The use of these welding technologies can be decisive in the employment of sophisticated alloys such as Ni-based superalloys, which are notoriously excellent candidates for industrial components subjected to high temperatures and corrosive work conditions. Nonetheless, the peculiar crystallographic and chemical complexity of Ni-based superalloys (whether characterized by polycrystalline, directionally solidified, or single-crystal microstructure) leads to high susceptibility to welding processes and, in general, challenging issues related to the microstructural features of the welded joints. …”
