Abstract

Modern High Alloy steels – The category of purposely developed advanced steels to meet the desired requirements in respected sectors. Due to their excellent properties which are compatible with exotic aerospace grade materials, these materials are widely adopted in aerospace sectors mainly in defence and space applications. These materials are the future of space programmes developing by LPSC-ISRO. As an industry, there are many day-to-day practical challenges related to welding and fabrication mainly with new materials. With considering the fact, more examples that are practical tried to cover in this paper with case studies related to welding and metallurgy.
