Popis: In this paper, the possibility of applying different welding strategies to overlay an FeCrAl layer against corrosion from heavy liquid metal on a plain plate made of 316L austenitic stainless steel was investigated. This technology could be used in manufacturing the main vessel of CiADS, which may be considered as a more economic and feasible solution than production with the corrosion-resistant FeCrAl alloy directly. The main operational parameters of the laser welding process, including laser power, weld wire feeding speed, diameter of the welding wire, etc., were adjusted correspondingly to the optimized mechanical properties of the welded plate. After performing the standard nuclear-grade bending tests, it can be preliminarily confirmed that the low-power pulse laser with specific operational parameters and an enhanced cooling strategy will be suitable to surface an Fe-10Cr-4Al-RE layer with a thickness of approximately 1 mm on a 40 mm-thick 316L stainless steel plate, thanks to the upgraded mechanical properties incurred by refined grains with a maximum size of around 300 μm in the welded layer.
