[MW:2007] Re: Copper#SS304L brazing

By Materials & Welding
Dear Prem,

How big is the job ? If not very large than we can make this joint with Induction Brazing at our end.

Dear friends

We are trying to braze a SS304L tube # Copper tube with OD=15mm and wall thickness 3mm. The joint is a simple square butt joint. Now we have tried torch brazing with following consumables:
L&T Eutectic 1601 flux + L&T 1601 filler wire.
This is a silver brazing filler wire with @ 40% silver,and balance Cu ,i.e.BAg-4 (EWAC 1601)
However we are not able to achieve torch brazing successfully.
We have even tried with Mathure Silver brazing filler wire and flux, but procedure has failed i.e weak joint.
Actually while brazing the filler material flows towards Copper side and does not flow towards SS304L side resulting in a weak joint and can be easily broken by a blow.
The joint also has to pass helium leak test.

Can anybody suggest suitable brazing procedure and technique.
I have read about furnace brazing but it is not practically possible in our job.
We only have the option of torch brazing.

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
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

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...
