Martensitic Stainless Steel
Martensitic stainless steel can be welded in the state of annealing, hardening and tempering. Regardless of the original state of the steel, after welding, a hardened martensite zone will be produced near the weld bead. The hardness of the heat affected zone is mainly Depending on the carbon content of the base metal, when the hardness increases, the toughness decreases, and this area becomes more
