The application of thick metal plates is increasing, and the welding problem is becoming more and more prominent. Narrow gap laser welding is one of the important methods, and it is also a research hotspot. The stainless steel thick plates were welded using the ultra-narrow gap fiber laser conduction welding with filler wire. Results show that the ranges of technological parameters for the achievement of the weld seam with no defects are smaller when the gap width is comparatively larger. Using the optimized technological parameters, the butt welding with no defects on the 3 mm gap between two 304 stainless steel plates with 60 mm thickness was achieved through the filling 20 times. This welding method of 304 metal with large thickness is rare in the literature. The tensile strength of the welding joint can be up to 87% of that of the base metal, and the micro-hardness and yield strength of the joint are comparable with those of the base metal.

In recent years, studying the weldability of a dissimilar metal hybrid structure, with the potential to make full use of their unique benefits, has been a research hotspot. In this article, inertia friction welding was utilized to join Φ130 forged ring of 2219 aluminum alloy with 304 stainless steel. Optical observation (OM), electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to examine the joint microstructure in depth. Depending on the research, a significant thermal–mechanical coupling effect occurs during welding, resulting in inadequate recrystallization on aluminum-side thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and forming zonal features. The crystal orientation and grain size of each TMAZ region reflect distinct differences. On the joint faying surface, the growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) is inhibited by a fast cooling rate and metallurgical bonding characteristics were found depending on the discontinuous distribution of IMCs. The average joint tensile strength can reach 161.3 MPa achieving 92.2% of 2219-O; fracture occurs on aluminum-side base metal presenting ductile fracture characteristics.
