Examined joint has been exploited for about 45 000 hours in a temperature of 535oC and the steam pressure equals to 13.5 MPa. Examined joint was made as a double bead by the additional materials with a different chemical composition. It was proved that the joint was characterized by a differential microstructure on the cross-section of the weld. Moreover, decarburized zone in the lower alloyed material and carbides zone in the higher alloyed material were revealed in the weld line and on the boundary penetration of beads. Furthermore, it was shown that the main mechanism of a joint degradation is a privileged precipitation of carbides on the grain boundaries, and an increase of their size.}, type={Article}, title={Examinations of the Welded Joint T91 Steel After Service at Elevated Temperature}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/114527/PDF/AMM-2020-1-30-Golanski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.131120}, keywords={T91 steel, welded joint, microstructure, hardness and microhardness}, }
