Hi,
 
Using E6010-G would keep the dilution level as minimum, but at the same time, it wouldn;t give the UTS equal to Parent metal UTS for API5L X65?

Hi,
 
Put it in simple words, the use of E6010-G is to keep the dilution level to be minimum ;

Dear All,

Can you please advise, why E6010-G (root) & E-7010-P1 (hot/fill) are
used for Oil pipelines(Sour) containing parent material of API 5L X65.
Since these type of PQR/WPS are being approved by most of the
Company.

As, X65 has an YS of 65,000 Psi, whilst the electrodes used E6010 has
YS of  48,000 Psi, and E-7010-P1 has YS of 60,000 psi. By using both
of these electrodes the weld metal strength would not exceed  YS
60,000 psi.

How its acceptable to keep the low weld metal strength(<YS 60,000 Psi)
than the parent metal (= YS 65,000Psi).

Thy suppose to use E8010 for root and E8018 for hot/fill, for API 5L
X65 materials, which only would give the equivalent WM strength.

As we all know that overmatching weld metal strength causes gross
section yielding in the pipe, whereas Undermatching weld metal
strength will cause straining of the weld.

Your advise/suggession, based on experience is appreciated.

Regards,

Ari

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...
