Low heat input improved microstructural refinement and corrosion resistance in nickel-based MIG welds.
At high heat input, tensile strength was higher, yet corrosion resistance was lower than at low input.
MIG welding at 3.05 kJ/mm achieved microstructural benefits while maintaining better electrochemical properties.
Significant variations in hardness were observed depending on the heat input, influencing overall weld quality.
