To have a better understanding of the results, they are compared to the characteristics of a full Ni SMAW weld. This was done before and after an annealing at 900 °C in order to evaluate the influence and possible benefits of this heat treatment. The results show that the presence of a GTAW ERNiCrMo-3 root pass, despite improving penetration, leads to a loss of mechanical properties due to the presence of hard phases in the root pass that even an annealing is not able to eliminate.}, number={3}, journal={Revista de Metalurgia}, author={Pascual-Guillamón, Manuel and Cárcel-Carrasco, Javier and Pérez-Puig, Miguel Á. and Salas-Vicente, Fidel}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={e122} }
