The objectives of this work were to characterise and understand the effects of circular magnetic arc deflection (arc stirring) on grain structure refinement of gas tungsten arc weld beads made in Inconel 690 substrates. Welds were made at various arc stirring frequencies (1.5-50 Hz), and microstructures were analysed using optical and electron backscattered diffraction microscopy. Optimum refinement of grain size occurred at a stirring frequency of similar to 7 Hz. Analysis of computational fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification model results suggested that grain detachment was the primary mechanism for grain refinement.
