In the current investigation, Inconel 625 weld joints were fabricated by Activated tungsten inert gas (A-TIG) and Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding techniques. The joint configurations employed square butt and V groove edge preparations. Residual stresses measurement was carried out by X-ray diffraction using the Proto iXRD measurement system. Distortion in weld joints was estimated by measuring the vertical displacement on the grids marked on the weld joints before and after welding by using an electronic height gauge. Weldment revealed distinctive microstructure, peak tensile residual stress, and angular distortion. A-TIG weld joint exhibited lower residual stresses and distortion compared to the TIG weld joint. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has inferred that the fusion zone of A-TIG and TIG weldments revealed better hot corrosion resistance at high temperatures.
