In the present study, the microstructure and mechanical performance of a tungsten inert gas welded joint between a novel heat-resistant austenitic steel and Inconel 617 weld metal were examined. Migrated grain boundaries were discovered more frequently in the lower portion of the weld metal that solidifies in austenite type. Ti-rich precipitates were observed in weld metal and Cr-rich and Nb-rich precipitates were observed in base metal. The fusion boundary area had the lowest impact toughness due to the large non-homogeneity of the microstructure. Microhardness profiles of the joint were obtained and the backing passes were found to produce the highest microhardness values, which was caused by the grain refinement effect. Ductile failure with slipping separation occurred in those joints ruptured after tensile tests at both room temperature and 923 K. In addition, multiscale precipitates in the joint after high-temperature tensile tests were inspected, where it was found that nanoscale particles contributed to the high-temperature resistance of the joint. Furthermore, microhardness changes in the joint after tensile tests were analysed according to the precipitation and strain-hardening mechanism.
