The influence of the chemical composition, especially the niobium content, chromium equivalent Cr-eq, and nickel equivalent Ni-eq, on the weld solidification cracking susceptibility in the austenite single-phase region in the Schaeffler diagram was investigated. Specimens were fabricated using the hot-wire laser welding process with widely different compositions of Cr-eq, Ni-eq, and niobium in the region. The distributions of the susceptibility, such as the crack length and brittle temperature range (BTR), in the Schaeffler diagram revealed a region with high susceptibility to solidification cracking. Addition of niobium enhanced the susceptibility and changed the distribution of the susceptibility in the diagram. The BTR distribution was in good agreement with the distribution of the temperature range of solidification (Delta T) calculated by solidification simulation based on Scheil model. Delta T increased with increasing content of alloying elements such as niobium. The distribution of Delta T was dependent on the type of alloying element owing to the change of the partitioning behavior. Thus, the solidification cracking susceptibility in the austenite single-phase region depends on whether the alloy contains elements. The distribution of the susceptibility in the region is controlled by the change in Delta T and the segregation behavior of niobium with the chemical composition.
