Re: [MW:4735] Oven backing on E7018R

Dear Srinivas,

R -- Designates that a covered electrode is moisture resistant and has been tested in a humid environment of 80°F (26.7°C) and 80% R.H. for nine hours and still showed covering moisture less than 0.4% by weight. Example: E7018R, E8018-B2R, E7018-1R and E8018-W1R

The R designated low-hydrogen classification gives the user reasonable assurance that the electrode can be exposed for up to nine hours to 80^oF/80% R.H. without exceeding 0.4% moisture in the covering. This enabled ANSI/AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code -- Steel, to permit electrodes designated as E7018R or E7018HZR to be used even if they are exposed to ambient conditions for up to nine hours. For high strength, low-alloy electrodes, the actual hours of exposure under atmospheric conditions may have to be limited to less than nine hours to control moisture to lower levels than the 0.4% threshold used to differentiate moisture-resistant covered electrodes from standard covered electrodes in the standard nine hour moisture exposure test

The R is an optional designator in the AWS filler metal specification that allows for longer exposure times before rebaking. I believe it is 9 hours of exposure before having to return for a complete re-baking cycle.

The packaging will determine whether you can immediately use the electrode. If it is a hermetically sealed (also called vacuum sealed), you can use straight from the packaging. If it is a non-sealed package than you must bake the electrode the same as a non-R designated electrode.

Dear All, May I know oven backing is need for E7018R(Moisture
resistant electrode)????, I am well with 7018 Backing, But whats with
E7018R????

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change. Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
