Table 4

The calculation based on Schaeffler diagram for prediction of welds microstructures for sample number 3.

Sample location			Predicted microstructure	Actual microstructure
Assumption; dilution (50%)	11.2	13.2	A + M	A
Figure 12(d) (near 4340)	8.1	12.8	M	A
Figure 12(b) (near 316L)	17.8	10.6	A + M + F	A
Figure 12(c) (weld center)	15.5	11.3	A + M	A
