[MW:595] AISI 307 reference.

By Materials & Welding

Dear friends,

Atlast after pushing the sales manager and contacting the design manager directly, I found that the AISI 307 was wrongly indicated in their drawings and that it is a welding wire used for dissimilar welding to be designated as 'AVESTA 307-si'. It is being adapted by these manufacturers for cutting cost on the price of such valves in overall, by a welding overlay on the valve body itself. And having good hardness of 220 BHN and with the usual trim of 13Cr/316/304 the seating/disc hardness difference is taken care of. Incase of maintenance the welding is lapped onsite. No seat rings, threading, seal welding of the rings needed...looks a good idea and it does depend on the type and constructional design aspect of the valve and the fluid system.

The link provide by the Design manager of one of the valve company.

Also I found that the AWS designates as 'A 5.2 E 307' of the solid wire type with slight difference in the composition as per AJ Marshall's manganese steel welding info. And another one called 'super 307 / AWS E307-16' from SuperTech, Germany. Looks a lot of variations are available under 307.

The subject valves involved in my case was conventional check valves & NS check valves.

Dear members,

I would like to know more about AISI 307 which is being used by certain
suppliers as a seating of valves. The suppliers are not able to give the
exact ASTM references, but they say it is ...more or less....equivalent to
X15CrNiMn188(1.4370) of DIN. However I found this DIN material being used
generally to make check valve pins. I am having doubt if it is a
precipitation hardened steel category(which is usually prescribed for
stem/disc/ball/blade/diffuser materials requiring high strength) or a
something related to welding rods.

From my search it looks more of a welding overlay material. However I
could not find any ASTM specification reference of it. Can somebody
specify the same for me to check out the details.

With regards,
Kannan Sundaram.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
