A brazed joint having excellent tensile strength (TSS and CTS) and a method of production of the same are provided. A sheet combination 200 comprised of steel sheets 210, 220 between which a brazing filler metal 230 is clamped is heated at a temperature of the Ac3 point of the steel sheet (matrix material) or more. The Ar3 point of the regions near the brazing filler metal at the steel sheets is made higher than the Ar3 point of the steel sheets (matrix material), then the quenching start temperature X is made a temperature of the Ar3 point of the steel sheet (matrix material) or less and hot stamping is performed to produce a brazed joint.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of hardfacing/hardbanding materials, alloys, or powder compositions that can have low chromium content or be chromium free. In some embodiments, the alloys can contain transition metal borides and borocarbides with a particular metallic component weight percentage. The disclosed alloys can have high hardness and ASTM G65 performance, making them advantageous for hardfacing/hardbanding applications.

In a WJP execution method for a reactor vessel lid, WJP is executed on the inner surface of the reactor vessel lid in a state in which an underwater environment is formed on the inner surface of the reactor vessel lid and an aerial environment is formed on the outer surface thereof. In addition, the reactor vessel lid with a waterproof jig attached thereto is arranged in water, the waterproof jig having a cylindrical shape extending to the side of the outer surface of the reactor vessel lid and constituting a vessel with the reactor vessel lid as the bottom portion thereof. Moreover, the reactor vessel lid is arranged on a base installed in the water.

To bond bonding target members stacked on top of each other without generating dust or spatter into an electrically bonded article with improved mechanical strength against strong vibration etc. A first bonding target member or second bonding target member includes a relative displacement amount setting portion for setting the distance by which the bonding target portion of the first member and the bonding target portion of the second member are relatively displaced during bonding, and a current conduction suppressing layer is formed on the relative displacement amount setting portion. The second or first member includes a setting face that is placed opposed to the current conduction suppressing layer of the first or second member. In a state where the first and second members have been positioned, the distance between the current conduction suppressing layer and the setting face is equal to the width H of the bonded portion.
