Re: [MW:4796] how to avoid hollow bead

By Materials & Welding
Dear Gulam kader,
 
Problems with hollow beads begin in the root pass when the primary causes, very high welding currents and travel speed are used. One additional contributor is the high cellulose electrode such as your 6010.
 
The parameters which affect the formation of hollow bead are,
1. High levels of welding current and travel speed were found to have a mojor influence on hollow bead.
2. The silicon content of the parent metal and the flux moisture content of the electrode had a minor effect on the occurrence of the defect.
3. The dimensions of the joint geometry, the presence of rust and paint on the joint and the concentration of aaluminium and carbon in the parent metal had no significant effect.
The most important factor for the occurrence of Hollow bead defects was a fast weld travel speed combined with hight welding current. The major gas in the Hollow Bead pore is hydrogen, which has been rejected from the super-saturated liquid ahead of the solid-liquid interface. on the basis of these findings postulated that the hydrogen gas rejected by the saturated liquid ahead of the solid liquid interface accumulates in one single gas bubble, which is enclosed by columnar grains growing parellel to the welding direction.
 
Some times Segregation associates with Hollow bead defect.
 
 To control the HOLLOW BEAD DEFECT, CONTROL THE WELDING CURRENT AND TRAVEL SPEED.

Hai to all,

In our project we are facing continuos hollow bead. Can any one explain reason for hollow bead and how to control this .

WPS Details ;


Process : SMAW

Electrode : E 6010 For root & E 8010 for remaining

Direction of welding : All Down hill 

Size : 68" , 60" 

Expecting your earliest reply

Very good explanation, and I too observed same kind of problem.. but there is a entrapped uncompleted fusion flux particles remains under bead,,, with the appearance of molten droplet shape and size

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

By Materials & Welding
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

By Materials & Welding
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...
