Exploratory study of sensitization in ferritic stainless steel welds produced via cryogenic cooling

Enhanced weld cooling via forced convection using cryogenic cooling technique is an option for controlling grain growth in the HAZ of ferritic stainless steel and hence improves weld ductility. However, this technique probably alters the martensite distribution in the high-temperature heat affected...
