Abstract

The need for minimizing fabrication and general production cost as well as to reduce fuel consumption by adopting lighter materials for engineering applications impose the demand for dissimilar metal weld joint. Nuclear, power, petrochemicals, automobile, marine, oil and gas plants among others, are increasingly employing dissimilar metal weld joints in various structures/parts to save cost and improve performance. Stainless steel to carbon and or low alloy steels dissimilar weldment are common in engineering industries and many researches have been carried out on these combinations. However, works on dissimilar metal weld of different stainless steels are grasping attention of engineers. As a result, this study intended to review recent works on dissimilar weld joint of different stainless steels. Weldability properties and applications of different classes of stainless steels were thoroughly reviewed .Applications and welding challenges of dissimilar metal welds were also extensively elaborated. Innumerable original works were studied and information regarding dissimilar welding of different stainless steels were evaluated. Recommendations for future track of research were delivered. It was concluded that further research in dissimilar welding of different stainless steels should focus on advanced welding and manufacturing processes.
