Microstructures and HAZ cracking of EB welded Incoloy 903
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Optical, SEM/EDX and TEM/EDX techniques have been used to characterize the parent, weld and heat affected zone (HAZ) microstructures in electron beam welded (EBW) Incoloy 903. The as–forged microstructure showed a duplex grain size of large warm–worked grains decorated by finer grains. MX carbides, fine MC carbides and MNP phosphides were observed on grain boundaries. The weld metal solidified in a cellular–dendritic mode: with segregation of Nb and Ti to interdendritic regions; no micro–fissures were observed originating in the weld metal. The HAZ, however, showed extensive micro–fissuring, especially on the long warm–worked grain boundaries. The micro–fissuring was attributed to constitutional liquation of the MX carbides (partial), fine MC and MNP phosphides on the grain boundaries. Micro–fissuring was, however, absent on the fine grain boundaries, though the boundaries exhibited a thickened appearance attributed to liquid film migration (LFM). The LFM was found to influence the solidification mode of the grain boundary liquid phase. Liquid solidifying via a non–LFM mode, resulted in a terminal solidification products of γ + MC carbide. These carbides were in extensive sheets along the grain boundary. Areas associated with LFM solidified to a Nb rich austenite and exhibited no evidence of micro–fissuring. The LFM resulted in a smaller solidification temperature range for the grain boundary liquid and resulted in a less sensitive microstructure for the weld cycle thermal stress to act on. LFM was also concluded to be the reason for the beneficial effect of fine grains on minimizing HAZ micro–fissuring.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
