Austenitic welds are difficult to inspect non-destructively by ultrasound due to the anisotropic and inhomogeneous material in the weld, which causes spatial deviation of ultrasonic beams. A common way to describe such material is to consider it as transversely isotropic, in which the plane perpendicular to the direction of the grain growth is considered to be isotropic. Therefore a weld performance map which indicates the orientation of the grain growth can be used to describe the material properties in the weld. In our work, we have chosen a weld map based on the parameters of the MINA model which uses the information of the welding procedure and rules for crystalline growth to predict the orientations, and thus has a good physical foundation. We have compared the measured grain orientations for a realistic weld with the predictions from the model. With this model, only a small number of parameters are used to describe the weld properties, therefore enabling the possibility of a well conditioned refinin...
