Hastelloy X and alloy 800H were joined satisfactorily by the gas tungsten arc welding process with ERNiCr-3 filler and the shielded metal arc welding process with Inco Weld A filler. Test specimens were of two types: (1) made entirely of deposited Inco Weld A and (2) machined transverse across the weldments to include Hastelloy X, filler metal (ERNiCr-3 or Inco Weld A), and alloy 800H. They were aged 2000 and 10,000 h and subjected to short-term tensile and creep tests. Inco Weld A and ERNiCr-3 are both suitable filler metals and result in welds that are stronger than the alloy 800H base metal.
