Single layer electroslag strip cladding of alloy 316L and 317L

1. Alloy 316L

Among the Cr-Ni stainless steel alloys, alloy 316L is one of the most widely used in the chemical and offshore industry.

For economic reasons, it is evident that single layer solutions are preferable and this can only be achieved by the use of the electroslag strip cladding process.

Today, Soudokay can offer two different, unalloyed electroslag fluxes allowing to reach the 316L chemical analysis in a single layer in combination with Soudotape 21.13.3L welding strip. The two solutions are summarized in the next table

Data

Both solutions offer a high quality deposit with an excellent wettability and smooth overlapping.

The <high speed> solution with Record EST 136 is recommendable while:

  • Deposition rate increases with ±20%
  • Surface coverage (m2/h) increases with ±35%
  • Consumption of consumables decreases with ±20%

2.Alloy 317L

This modified 316L alloy can be achieved by the use of Record EST 122Mo and Soudotape 21.13.3L.

Record EST 122Mo is a Mo-alloyed flux in order to guarantee min. 3% Mo in the single layer deposit.

Data 2

It is of course of outmost importance to make a 3/16 inch deposit in order to guarantee a Mo-content of 3% in the deposit.

3. Conclusions

The single layer deposits of 316L and 317L offer maximum results with minimum overlay thickness and is achieved by using our special strip, Soudotape 21.13.3L and electroslag cladding Record EST122 and Record EST122Mo.

The ferrite content problem is there which is always required to be between 3-10.

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...

The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams for predicting ferrite levels in austenitic stainless steel welds

By Materials & Welding
Introduction Ferrite is important in avoiding hot cracking in during cooling from welding of austenitic stainless steels. 'Constitution diagrams' are used to predict ferrite levels from the composition by comparing the effects of austenite and ferrite stabilising elements. The Schaeffler and Delong diagrams are the original methods of predicting the phase balances in austenitic stainless steel welds. Nickel and chromium equivalents A 'nickel equivalent' is calculated for the austenite stabilising elements and a 'chromium equivalent' ferrite stabilising elements. These are used as the axes for the diagrams, which show the compositional equivalent areas where the phases austenite, ferrite, martensite (and mixtures of these) should be present. Although intended to show the phase balance of weld fillers, these diagrams can also be used to illustrate the phase balance of the 'parent' material. There are different diagrams for dif...
