Sebbene i progressi nelle applicazioni ad alta temperatura dell'acciaio inossidabile siano stati significativi, persistono ancora problemi significativi nelle saldature a causa di cricche da riscaldo. La criccatura da riscaldo inizia tipicamente a causa della sensibilizzazione nella zona termicamente interessata del metallo base (ZTA) e nella saldatura, con conseguente precipitazione di carburi di cromo. Contenuto di carbonio Il contenuto di carbonio dell'acciaio ne determina la resistenza, ...
