AbstractMethods of X-ray diffraction analysis and optical metallography were used to examine structure of tungsten single crystal (99.99 wt.%) subjected to local melting (welding) by the electric beam in vacuum. Data were obtained on crystallographic orientation of different zones of a welded joint relative to the base metal. Evaluation of density and distribution of dislocations in these zones was conducted. A zonal non-uniform multi-level distribution of dislocations in the welded joint was determined. Changes revealed in parameters of the dislocation ensemble are attributable to features of thermal-deformation processes occurring in welding
Keywords: electron beam welding, single crystal, welded joint, X-ray analysis method, crystallographic orientation, dislocation density, structural changes
