If the high hardness is on the HAZ (I assume it is on the Capping pass) carbon steel side, the probable reasosn may be the hardenability factor associated with carbon steel side. I assume your maximum interpass temparatures would have been less than 150 Deg.C, although not required in your case of dissimilar combination welding, you can very well touch 250 Deg.C. Please check the carbon equivalent (C.E.) of your carbon steel (A 105), with your given thickness of 4.5mm, I feel the C.E. should have been high to cause this higher hardness in the HAZ. Usually forgings tend to have a higher C.E. value. You can try one of the following, 1. Try to weld the capping passes when the interpass temperature is at its maximum (250 Deg.C), and also despoit the first capping pass on the carbon steel side, try deposit the second pass as close as possible to the first capping pass such that the first capping pass and its assiciated HAZ are getting a tempering treatment. 2. If the above practice doesnt work out, then you can do a weld metal build up / buttering using an ordinary carbon steel filler and post weld heat treat the CS part alone, and then you can weld it with your ordinary ER 309 filler to weld the joint, this technique will definitely give you a hardness value within the limits of NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156.

It is on HAZ Carbon Steel side. Regards Vinod Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel

Is it on the weld or HAZ? whether it is on the root or on the cap? If possible you can attach your macro photo identfying the higher hardness location.

Please note the required details as per the following in RED colour:-
* Welding Process – GTAW for Root and Filling with SMAW. * Thickness of the materials (Dissimilar weld ?) – 4.5mm. * Welding Technique– String, cup size 6mm, multipass, single electrode. * Preheat temp. – 20 degree C min. * Heat Input– 0.95 to 1.19 KJ/mm.

Ok then, I would like you to provide some more info.
* Welding Process * Thickness of the materials (Dissimilar weld ?) * Welding Technique * Preheat temp. * Heat Input
Changes may be required for above stated factors (in lieu of PQR) to overcome this problem.
