Joining two types of material is one of the challenges in the manufacturing industry. One application is carried out on the connection between HY80 steel plates connected with Duplex 2205 stainless steel pipes which are widely used as submarine fuel. Welding using SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) is done because it is the most efficient and good welding for alloy steel. After the welding process, radiographic testing using X-rays is carried out, the residual stress measured at the surface (using X ray diffraction) and in the middle of the metal (using neutron diffraction), hardness checked, metallography, and buckling test are also done to determine the strength of weld results. The test results show that higher heat input in addition to producing larger grain sizes, it also produces more carbides so that the hardness is higher. The high value of hardness will have an effect on the value of residual stress, high hardness is produced from compressive stress, while the tensile residual stress will produce low hardness.
