Re: [MW:10686] RE: 10682] Use of ERNiCrMo-3 For welding SA312 Tp 316L

As such there will not be problem by using NiCrmo3 for 316L material provided you have a qualified PQR with all requirement are met such as Impact,IGC test (if required as per client spec)

Inconel consumable used is compatable with SS316L

Dear Mr. Bhandari,

In case of wet gas this could become a problem because of potential differences between filler metal and base material which can cause galvanic corrosion.

But you also have a problem with the welding procedure which is not valid for this combination. Normally you will weld TP 316L material with filler metal group F.6 according to ASME QW-436. In this case you got filler metal from group F 43 according to QW-436. When looking at essential variables for GTAW in QW-256 you will see that this is an essential variable and therefore the PQR is not valid.

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Onderwerp: [MW:10682] Use of ERNiCrMo-3 For welding SA312 Tp 316L

Hi All

I have a weld procedure which is to be used for welding SA312 TP 316 material (3-6 mm thickness). The pipe would be carrying gas and operating temperature is -130 to 60 degree C.

The ferrite determination has not been carried out on the weld as required by the standard. Also usually the consumable used for welding 316L is ER316L (TIG). But the consumable used here is ERNiCrMo-3 (SFA 5.14, usually used for cladding or Alloy 625 and can be used from cryogenic to very high temperature). Would there by any implications of using this electrode in the case discussed?

Your response in this regard would be much appreciated.

Thanks

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...
