摘要

This study investigated the influence of low-intensity electromagnetic interaction (2.5–4.3 mT) on the microstructural and electrochemical behavior of dissimilar stainless steel (SS) 304L/347 joints welded by submerged arc welding (SAW). The application of transverse magnetic fields during welding induced Lorentz-force stirring within the molten pool, promoting heat and solute homogenization without altering conventional process parameters. Macrostructural analyses revealed smoother bead geometry and a more symmetrical fusion zone. Microstructural examinations showed refined, isotropic grains and a transformation of continuous δ-ferrite networks into discrete intragranular filaments that effectively pinned grain boundaries. Double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) tests demonstrated a marked reduction in the degree of sensitization, with Ir/Ia ratios < 0.05, particularly on the SS 347 side, indicating suppressed chromium depletion and enhanced passive film stability.
