Type 431 can be welded satisfactorily with most of the arc welding processes. If a filler metal is required, then one of a similar composition, such as AWS E/ER410, should be considered. An austenitic filler metal, such as AWS E/ER310, can also be used if the mechanical properties of the weld and the response to heat treatment are not required to be similar to those of the base metal. To prevent cracking of the weldment, it is necessary to preheat the base metal to a temperature between 200 and 300 °C (400 and 600 °F) and maintain a minimum interpass temperature of 200 °C (400 °F). After welding, the weldment should receive a PWHT at 650 °C (1200 °F).

Dear friends
The UNS number of SS 431 is UNS:S43100 ,( ASTM A473 type 431).
Now if we use E309L to Weld SS304L # SS 431, is any PWHT required?
Also if we use E410 electrodes then i think PWHT is required. We want to avoid PWHT in job. SO shall we use E309L SMAW electrodes for welding without PWHT. What do you say about preheating ?
Regards
Prem Nautiyal
